Today we discuss Dr.Ortega’s monograph Binding Media. Hybrid Print-Digital Literature from across the Americas , published by Stanford University Press in March 2025, where she proposes the notion of “binding media” and provides us with an essential account of contemporary book history and highlights the way binding media help illuminate processes of cultural hybridization that have been instigated by the expediency of globalized digital technologies and transnational dynamics.
