Departing from an analysis of Mark Z. Danielewski’s serial novel The Familiar, the article investigates how contemporary literature at once imitates and resists the serial logics of modern media culture. Thus, focusing especially on the aspects of transmediality and participatory culture, I point out how Danielewski’s work adapts the narrative structure as well as the modes of promotion and reception that characterize e.g. modern television series while also positioning itself in contrast to new media culture and emphasizing the ‘literariness’ of the literary series.

It is increasingly clear that to understand religion in the 21st Century we must also understand media and the ways that religions are being remade through their interaction with modern media. Culture… is that complex whole which includes knowledge, beliefs, arts, morals, law, customs, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society. Mass media means technology that is intended to reach a mass audience. It is the primary means of communication used to reach the vast majority of the general public…. mass media of communication: the techniques and institutions through which centralized providers broadcast or distribute information and other forms of symbolic communication to large, heterogeneous and geographically dispersed audiences

This conclusion reflects on the previous chapters and on the status of martial arts as both an organizing term and a discursive entity. Martial arts is a considerably less stable entity than many practitioners are either led or want to believe. The conclusion discusses what dynamics, forces, agents, and agencies work for and against change; what factors work to produce stabilities, and what generate change. If martial arts was invented in modern media culture, and if change is inevitable, what does this suggest about the longevity of the term, concept, set of associations, connotations, and indeed lived, embodied, and institutionalized practices? The conclusion speculates on the possible future modifications and transformations of the field, away from its current forms, contents, and orientations.

The notion of literature as an obsolete form, out of sync with its own time, has been a familiar one ever since modern media displaced the literary from its previous centrality in culture. Expounding on poet Kenneth Goldsmith’s express ambitions of bringing literature up to date with contemporary media culture, this article engages the larger stakes of his work with a view to an ‘updated literature’ – a literature, as it is here considered, 'beyond textuality.' Informed by the theoretical perspectives of Friedrich Kittler and the broader field of media archeology, the article posits literature’s turn toward the generalized ‘informational milieu’ of contemporary network culture and its concomitant break with modernist notions of medium specificity. Although the provocations of both Goldsmith and Kittler have received much previous attention; in seeking here to bring them together in a committed way, this article also moves beyond the limits of their approaches to rethink the problem of literature’s dubious distinctness in our age of networks.
