Hi everyone!
I am Jenny Kleidona from Thessaloniki, Greece.
Although I was born in the 80s, I became familiar with Interactive Fiction quite recently as an undergraduate student. Yeah, I know… I’m trying hard to make up for all the lost time!
In my diploma thesis I examined Nick Montfort’s Ad Verbum and Adam Cadre’s Photopia drawing on my background in both Linguistics and English Studies. I’m currently working on my PhD, which also focuses on Interactive Fiction and its relation to space, identity and agency. Apart from the narrative itself, I am also interested in the source code, so part of my PhD draws on Critical Code Studies (Mark C. Marino, if you ever read this, thank you so much for the new horizons you have opened up for us researchers in the humanities!).
Really nice to be able to exchange ideas and experiences with you all!
Cheers!
Jenny
