Research overview

Broadly speaking, Martin¡¯s work centres on understanding different registers of knowledge and how they manifest in writing. Martin studies how literary reading techniques can be used to provide us with access to a set of differing epistemologies that all take inscriptive forms: historical, scientistic, digito-factual, and literary knowledges. This work is spread between contemporary American and British fiction, histories and philosophies of technology, evaluative cultures in the academy, and technological mutations in scholarly publishing. He is the author or editor of nine scholarly books.
