Firstly, Przybyszewska shows that, in this context, the concept of shiftart is useful because it grabs and vividly depicts a shift in literary communication which is underlined by all theorists of textual materialism. Thus, liberary work is described in the paper along with the synonymous term shiftbook. The second part of the article turns to the works of Milorad Pavić. Some other examples are used to examine how the material (shift)book can function as an interface for non-linear writing; something that works even better that any electronic interface. The last part of the paper develops this question in a broader context: it concentrates on the problem of untranslatable material literary interfaces and the differences between electronic and material versions of (shifted) books.}, doi = {10.4467/20843860PK.17.022.7792}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/przeglad-kulturoznawczy/artykul/from-shiftbooks-to-shiftliterature-categories-of-literary-interfaces-and-liberacy-in-characterizing-literature-of-transmedial-times} }
