Abstract (in English):
Manuel Portela collaborates with the PO.EX archive of Portuguese media poetry.
As a scholar, he explores reflexive qualities in reading operations. For Portela, formal analysis of the processes of reading and viewing reveal a continuity that transcends apparent differences in distribution technology: meaning, recursive as a worm, burrows into the mind on a path of words.
For a thorough discussion of these issues, see Manuel`s book "Scripting Reading Motions: The Codex and the Computer as Self-Reflexive Machines" (MIT Press, 2013, forthcoming).
