3. The Heuristic Value of Electronic Literature

   What makes electronic literature interesting for researchers?
   Maybe not its artistic and literary value, but rather its heuristic value.
   Indeed electronic literature not only permits previous media to be reexamined (paper for instance), but it also allows several well-established notions to be questioned (cf. figure above) such as:
   - narrative in narratology;
   - text in linguistics and semiotics;
   - figure in rhetorics;
   - materiality in aesthetics;
   - grasp in anthropology;
   - memory in archivistics;
   - literariness in literary studies…

   Exploiting the heuristic value of electronic literature has two consequences:
   - an evolution of some notions in certain scientific disciplines, and maybe of the disciplines themselves;
   - a revealing effect regarding both digital technology and interactive and multimedia writing.

4. The Challenge of Visuality for Electronic Literature

   Whilst there may be aesthetic tropes within digital media, there is no universally accepted authority within contemporary culture nor is there an easy mutual acceptance of what is “right and proper” or indeed legitimate outside the now virtue of being popular and well followed. Indeed the now bodily distanced and disinhibited digital citizen frequently demonstrates a palpable distain for the elite and pretentious (1). Considering this, any community with Literature in its name may have an identity problem; literariness still pertains to an elevated quality of artistic or intellectual merit and is thus counter to popular cultural production. In addition, mainstream culture has successfully commoditized many counter-cultural communities (2). Electronic Literature has arguably not been through such commodification processes, and the question of interest is why not? To that extent this paper seeks to explore possible answers.
