1. Creative Practice and Experimental Method in Electronic Literature and Human Experimental Psychology

   This article discusses issues arising from the relationship between practitioners in Electronic Literature and researchers in the field of Human Experimental Psychology, including the possible emergence of new communities that cross over this boundary. The introduction (1) considers the possible drivers of this process, including technology, interdisciplinarity and research funding policy, after first explaining the source of the article in an interdisciplinary project, Poetry Beyond Text: Vision, Text and Cognition (2009-11). This project involved literary critics, psychologists and creative artists and studied works that combine (poetic) text with images, including digital poetry, concrete poetry, artists’ books, visual poetry and poetry-photographic works. In section 2 we discuss the concept of the “experimental” in aesthetic and scientific contexts, identifying the relatively universal model of the subject constructed through experimental procedure in Psychology and contrasting it with the radical idea of the subject implied by avant-garde aesthetic practice.

3. Písanie v interaktívnych médiách. Digitálna fikcia /Writing in the Interactive Media. Digital Fiction

   The subject of the thesis is to introduce and contextualise the possibilities of writing in the interactive media as well as to study the literary art of interactive media in the Anglophone area. One of the attributes of the contemporary art pieces of interactive media is their intermedial character; the authors often link text, image and sound to introduce the fictional world. The aim of the thesis is on one hand to refer to the questions that are not new but have appeared in new circumstances due to the digital format and internet and on the other hand to refer to the questions typical for the digital fiction research. The research concentrates on the digital fiction – a digital piece written in a computer programme, in which the author offers a fictional world. The thesis addresses several aspects of digital fiction, whose combination indicates its characteristic status within the group of digital art – fragmentarity of narrative, multilinearity, interactivity, performativity, dynamics, intermediality and the principles of game and play.

5. Le récit littéraire interactif. Narrativité et interactivité

   The expression interactive literary narrative applies to a variety of works. In its diversity, the
   interactive literary narrative raises questions on narratives, interactive architecture, multimedia as
   well as on literature. It is because the interactive literary narrative is wrought by tensions that it has
   this questioning and maybe even revealing capacity. This tension is first and foremost that which lies between narrativity and interactivity and which investigates other connections or tensions :
   - with regards to the narrative, the tension between adherence and distance can be characterized by a play on fictionalization and reflexivity;
   - with regards to the interactive architecture, the tension between assistance and control roles can
   manifest itself by a play on loss of grasp,
   - with regards to the multimedia, the tension between a text-based narrative and a multimedia
   narrative can be reached by work on text as a dynamic and polysemiotic object, and also the
   theatralization of interactive objects endowed with behaviour,

6. Transdução: Processos de Transferência na Literatura e Arte Digitais

   Electronic Literature and Digital Art share many processes, themes, creative and theoretical guidelines. In this sense, I developed a critical framework that could resist to a hyperdisciplinary analysis and include one of the characteristics of this sharing pattern: the transfer and transformation processes. In order to recognize these processes I have done an approach of the transduction concept that could perform a theoretical migration on these aspects: the transducer function. Thus, the transducer function appears in the critical analysis of the works by Mark Z. Danielewski, Stuart Moulthrop, R. Luke DuBois and André Sier. The selected works are representative of the following genres: novel, hyperfiction, net.art and digital installation, drawing on phenomena and concerns resulting from the creative production within the digital culture. In this research I have enhanced mechanisms, patterns, languages and common grounds: authorship, user, cybertext, surface, hypertext, infoduct, interactivity, pixel, algorithm, code, programming, network, software and data.

7. Galatea’s Riposte: The Reception and Receptacle of Interactive Fiction

   Type enough questions, Lisa Swanstrom suggests, and "Galatea" answers Socrates' ancient call for a poetry that talks back. Using Emily Short's interactive fiction as a model, Swanstrom argues that the khora - the strange Platonic intermediary between form and copy - might serve as a guide for understanding the peculiar nature of literary interactivity itself.

8. Barroquismos Digitais

   Existe um barroquismo nas criações poética digitais contemporâneas. Seria este um barroquismo de arte e engenho no modo de as obras operarem e no modo de se relacionar com o mundo digital daquele que cria e daquele que o usufrui. Barroquismo na maneira de se dar ao mundo da obra digital, na similaridade com o modo de ser das obras barrocas, considerando três características: materialidade da obra enquanto doadora de sentido, multimidialidade da obra e a interatividade entre obra e fruidor. Este artigo se propõe a apontar para esse barroquismo e certo continuum barroco na literatura digital.

9. A Interatividade na Poesia Digital

   This dissertation aims at comprehending interactivity in the digital work of art, through the perspective of Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology. For such, I combine a general
   objective – that of mapping mechanisms and strategies of interactivity in digital poetry – and
   a specific objective – that of reading Rui Torres’ work Amor de Clarice – with the intention of better understanding both through their constant dialogue, on how they intercross, as to finally comprehend the process of interaction in digital work of art. For this purpose I return to

10. Engineering stories? A narratological approach to children’s book apps

    With the rise of smartphones and tablet pcs, children’s book apps have emerged as a new type of children’s media. While some of them are based on popular children’s books such as Mo Willems’ Pigeon books or Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit, others were specifically designed as apps. This paper focuses on examining book apps under the aspects of implied user strategies and narrative structure. Using a narratological framework that also takes into account the unique characteristics of the medium, a terminology for the analysis of book apps will be sketched out. Furthermore, an exemplary analysis of iOS book apps for pre- and grade school children comes to the conclusion that, far from offering the child users room for individual creativity, a large number of apps rather train their users in following prescribed paths of reading.
