More-Than-Digital Meaning-Making: Paratexts of the Postdigital

Abstract

Unsure how to begin this piece, I wrote the paragraphs above. They do not adhere to conventional academic writing, and as I wrote them, I wondered if I could even include them in this commentary. But I have decided I will, as I would like to suggest that this piece of description about my own particular, mundane, and unremarkable experience of writing, might reveal something about the nature of what I am calling more-than-digital meaning-making . I use the term meaning-making expansively, to take in reading in addition to the production of text, speech, or the use of other semiotic resources, as it seems to me that meaning-taking is also meaning-making in some sense.
