Name: Jessica Monica Laccetti. But you, dear reader, may beckon me with
the sonorous, simple, and mellifluous Jess.
Age: Wise beyond my unwrinkled years...anyway who counts the annals of time
in cyberspace?
Currently: In the process of transferring from the English department at Royal
Holloway, University of London (too traditional!) to study under the auspices of
Prof. Sue Thomas at DMU in Leicester (someone who knows the "new media"
field)
Special talents: I'm not special. I swear.
With the passing of time, for
example, my impressions are
continuously modified by a
series of sliding and
imperceptible changes. But
words prevent me from
expressing the continuity of
these passages, and so I am led
to believe that my impressions
remain the same for the whole
period of time that depends on
the same word, and I see it
change abruptly when language
forces me to describe it
differently.Language is
indifferent to shades of meaning
and dissects reality with words.
These are the abstractions that
divide the continuity of
experience and make it seem
like a juxtaposition of masses
each of which is internally
homogenous, but clearly
separated from the others. --

In the age of cyberfeminism I am truly nomadic. Born in sunny and saporous
Italy, I spent my early years traversing the Atlantic before my multicultural
parents settled on The Great White North. (read: Toronto) After reading for my
undergraduate degree (honours in English, minor Italian with almost enough courses for a minor in psychology too!) at the University of Waterloo, I read for a master's degree in postmodern literature and theory at Royal Holloway. At present, as I'm in the midst of transferring to the Centre for Creative Technologies at DMU, I'm thinking and thinking about what direction my research can take...
