Francisca
Ricard & Roberto Simanowski: On Analytic Method in the
Digital Reading
|
This conversation
between Francisco J. Ricardo and Roberto Simanowski lays out
modes of reading new media art that can do justice to its
unique ontologies; a phenomenology that goes beyond the
formalism of the work and opens to a critical
reading.

Roberto
Simanowski: Teaching Digital Literature. Didactic and
Institutional Aspects
|
Digital media is
increasingly finding its way into the discussions of the
humanities classroom. The book Reading
Moving Letters
addresses this need and provides examinations by nine scholars
and teachers from different national academic backgrounds.
Simanowski's introduction reflects on how and why we should
teach digital literature and conduct close readings in
academia.

John
Zuern: Toward a Cross-Modal Comparative Literature
|
In his contribution
to Reading
Moving Letters
John Zuern reveals what the emerging field of digital
literature studies and the more established discipline of
comparative literature contribute to one another in terms of
defining concepts and methods of literary analysis. Considering
the aim of many present-day comparatists to overcome the
ideological strictures of "national language," Zuern
suggests scholarship in electronic literature should head in a
similar direction and cultivate skepticism about the
essentialism of the
"digital".

Francisco
Ricardo: Framing Locative Consciousness
|
What is the role of
memory in constituting placemaking. Places do not exists in
disconnection with events. Consequently, memory plays an
important role in constituting placemaking. Francisco Ricardo
explores how locative media art creates a union of place and
event.

Alexandra
Saemmer: Ephemeral passages La Série des U and Passage
by Philippe Bootz
|
The poems La
Série des U and Passage
seem to fit perfectly in the aesthetics of the ephemeral. Yet,
the mimetic aesthetics, the aesthetics of the ephemeral and of
re-enchantment alternately intertwine, merge or mutually
exclude one another, which raises a number of fundamental
questions about digital poetics. Alexandra Saemmer takes then
on in a close reading of Bootz' digital
poem.

James
Pope: The significance of navigation and interactivity design
for readers’ responses to interactive narrative
|
There is a
'mis-match' of the narrative and the delivery platform in
interactive (hypertext) fiction with negative consequences for
the audience' experiences. Refering to data from empirical
study of readers' responses to a range of examples, James Pope
discusses style and usability of the interface, aiming to offer
some guidance to
writers.

Roberto
Simanowski: Digitale Medien in der Erlebnisgesellschaft
|
How democratic is
online communication? How creative is the Facebook community?
How much grassroot construction is in Web 2.0 social
networks? How cosmopolitic is the "online-nation"?
How active is interactive art? These are, among others, the
questions Roberto Simanowski tackles in his book Digitale
Medien in der Erlebnisgesellschaft (Digital
Medie in the Event Society). This essay describes the situation
and introduces the
questions.

Florian
Hartling: Dissoziierte Autoren. Netzliterarische Autorschaft
zwischen Tradition und Experiment
|
As
we have realized: Digital media are not the death of the
author. Traditional concepts of authorship have survived and
even computer generated texts are not only gtenerated by the
machine. Florian Hartling offers a typology of authorship
online and a close reading of an early example of computer
generated poetry in
Germany.
