Terry Harpold - Editorial Review Board

Associate Professor of English, Film and Media Studies at the University of Florida

Recent essays and reviews by Professor Harpold have appeared in journals such as Bulletin de la Société Jules Verne, Game Studies, ImageTexT, IRIS, Nineteenth-Century Contexts, NMEDIAC, Revue Jules Verne, Science Fiction Studies, South Atlantic Review, and Technology and Culture; and in edited collections such as The Routledge Encyclopedia of Narrative Theory (Routledge, 2005), Glossalalia (Edinburgh University Press, 2003), and The New Media Reader (MIT Press, 2003). He is a member of the editorial boards of Game Studies and Postmodern Culture, a founding member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Verniana: Jules Verne Studies / Études Jules Verne, and a Trustee of the Board of Directors of the North American Jules Verne Society.

His current article projects include essays on: the critical reception of Jules Verne in Britain and the United States in the early 20th century; the method of a polyserial reading apparatus devised by Orville W. Owen, a late 19th century American Baconian; and narrative "recapture" of medial traits in interactive fiction and videogames.

His book Ex-Foliations: Reading Machines and the Upgrade Path, on textual operations of print and digital media, will be published by the University of Minnesota Press in 2008. He is currently working on two other book projects: Aren't Apricots Peaches?, on the "hysterical science" of Charles Hoy Fort, an early 20th-century chronicler of occult phenomena; and Des Leçons d'abîme, on intertextual "relays" in the fiction of Jules Verne.
