is a conceptual work where a work by Roland Barthes called The Pleasure of the Text has been translated into text messaging language. This process was undertaken with the aid of a peer-to peer online database called transl8it.com…
The product of this process is a book that combines the intelligible challenges offered by both textese and by the work of intellectuals like Roland Barthes. Whereas the academic, esoteric work of Barthes is often elevated in our cultural hierarchy, textese is often demonized and looked upon as a degeneration of our culture. This book is aimed at de-stabilizing the reader’s linguistic assumptions, the results of which are the work’s main intentions.
