Hermeneutic Modeling of Detail in Textual Zoom and Literary Texts

This chapter focuses on the dynamic nature of detail as an esthetic category and the hypothesis that interpretation in the digital medium encompasses a certain degree of modeling, understood in its double sense of building representations of objects and shaping figures in a plastic material.

This chapter focuses on the dynamic nature of detail as an esthetic category and the hypothesis that interpretation in the digital medium encompasses a certain degree of modeling, understood in its double sense of building representations of objects and shaping figures in a plastic material. The approach combines theoretical and empirical standpoints on detail and its dynamics interpreted through examples of literary texts and analyses based on the concept of textual zoom. It inquires on how the change of scale and degree of detail may shape the processes of text creation, understanding, and esthetic reflection.
