Gregory Ulmer
Gregory Ulmer (born December 23, 1944 ) is a professor in the English Department at the University of Florida ( Gainesville ).
Life
From 1972 to 1977 Ulmer worked as a lecturer in the humanities department at the University of Florida and was appointed chairman of the institute in 1979. Since then he has had a permanent position there and was the co-director of the Institute for European & Comparative Studies from 1987 to 1990. He was also director of the film studies program from 1968 to 1989.
Many of his groundbreaking theories developed from his play on words, for example "textshop", "choragraphy", "applied grammatology", "mystory", "heuretics" and "post (e) -pedagogy". His discoveries, what he termed "predictive awareness," designed to use the power of intuition as a way of creating forms of knowledge, have been methodically re-imposed by students from around the world.
One of these projects is Illogic of Sense: The Gregory L. Ulmer Remix , an e-book publication that illustrates how Ulmer's outstanding work became central to contemporary thinking about the future of writing and new forms of digital rhetoric. The book was published by Alt-X Verlag, which was founded by a former student of Elmer named Mark Amerika. In addition, it should finally do justice to the long-awaited potential of online publications.
Gregory Ulmer's works focus on hypertext , electracy (describes the ability to use the full communicative potential of new electronic media such as multimedia) and cyberlanguage and are often referred to as "emerAgency", "fetishturgy", "choragraphy" and "mystoriography" in Connected.
