Given a pen, most people will write, although it is also possible to draw or use it in other ways. With a keyboard it seems most appropriate to type. With a mouse, one can click on things, and select them. </p><p>What happens when these are retained, transformed and isolated from the source? </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="digital_annotations">digital annotations</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/mw-mediadesign/index.php?title=User:Simon/Retention_and_transformation_of_annotations&action=edit&section=T-2" title="Edit section: ">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3> <p>Retained digital annotations are rare in the wild, but I found one PDF of Jorge Luis Borges "The Garden of Forking Paths" that had underlinings and highlighted text.

For this, I placed scans in a vector graphics program and digitised pen marks. I also included the text that was annotated with circles, underlines and lines in the margins.

Le Guin's short essay appears in a compilation called <i>Dancing at the Edge of the World</i>, which I've found impossible to find online through the usual pirate libraries such as Library Genesis, aaaaaarg.fail and Monoskop. Perhaps this points to a gender bias in what is perceived as knowledge (Le Guin was a woman wrote mostly science-fiction)? In lieu of not being able to find the compilation, I decided to print this book in a very small size (90x120mm) and retain the annotations from the PDF I found. I digitised them by making them into vectors, and printed the text and annotations in green. In this way I wanted to speculate on what would happen when a reader was confronted with annotations that seemed to be part of the source, not a para-text added after publication. </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"><div style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px;"><div style="margin:15px auto;"><a class="image" href="https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mw-mediadesign/images/thumb/7/7b/CB_01.JPG/640px-CB_01.JPG"><img alt="" decoding="async" src="https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mw-mediadesign/images/thumb/7/7b/CB_01.JPG/320px-CB_01.JPG"></a></div></div> <div class="gallerytext"> <p>Front cover </p> </div> </div></li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"><div style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px;"><div style="margin:15px auto;"><a class="image" href="https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mw-mediadesign/images/thumb/2/29/CB_02.JPG/640px-CB_02.JPG"><img alt="" decoding="async" src="https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mw-mediadesign/images/thumb/2/29/CB_02.JPG/320px-CB_02.JPG"></a></div></div> <div class="gallerytext"> <p>Digitised annotations </p> </div> </div></li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"><div style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px;"><div style="margin:15px auto;"><a class="image" href="https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mw-mediadesign/images/thumb/2/2c/CB_03.JPG/640px-CB_03.JPG"><img alt="" decoding="async" src="https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mw-mediadesign/images/thumb/2/2c/CB_03.JPG/320px-CB_03.JPG"></a></div></div> <div class="gallerytext"> <p>Back cover with bootleg acknowledgement </p> </div> </div></li> </ul> <p><a class="external free" href="https://pad.xpub.nl/p/annotated_reader_prbs" rel="nofollow">https://pad.xpub.nl/p/annotated_reader_prbs</a> </p> <!-- NewPP limit report Cached time: 20200617091911 Cache expiry: 86400 Dynamic content: false CPU time usage: 0.094 seconds Real time usage: 0.712 seconds Preprocessor visited node count: 15/1000000 Preprocessor generated node count: 54/1000000 Post‐expand include size: 2944/2097152 bytes Template argument size: 0/2097152 bytes Highest expansion depth: 2/40 Expensive parser function count: 0/100 Unstrip recursion depth: 0/20 Unstrip post‐expand size: 1707/5000000 bytes --> <!-- Transclusion expansion time report (%,ms,calls,template) 100.00% 222.707 1 -total 98.74% 219.893 1 User:Simon/The_Carrier_Bag_Theory_of_Fiction 1.19% 2.654 1 User:Simon/Retention_and_transformation_of_annotations --> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key wdka_mw_mediadesign-mw_:pcache:idhash:31707-0!canonical and timestamp 20200617091911 and revision id 173987 --> </div></DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT></div> </body> </html>
