2. Writing under Constraint of the Regime of Computation

   This chapter argues that an understanding of writing under constraint in the context of programmable networked media implies both an awareness of the productivity of constraints as means of literary production, and an understanding of the specific writing constraints inherent in algorithmic culture. It claims that the programmability of constraints and the programmability of human language define the situation of writing under constraint in networked digital media. The chapter is divided into four sections: “Constraints in Language, Discourse and Literary Form”; “Constraints as Means of Literary Production and Invention”; “Underwriting Constraints”; and “Overwriting Constraints”. An introductory reflection about the nature of literary constraints and a brief survey of constraint-based practices are followed by a description of the computability of language and the programmability of constraints.

5. The Advent of Aurature and the End of (Electronic) Literature

   Aurality may be understood either as the entirety of distinguishable, culturally impli- cated sonic phenomena or, more narrowly and with specific regard to aurature, as the entirety of linguistically implicated sonic phenomena.

8. Renderings: Translating literary works in the digital age

   The point of departure for this article is the Renderings project (http://trope-tank.mit.edu/renderings/) established in 2014 and developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in a laboratory called the Trope Tank. The goal of the project is to translate highly computational and otherwise unusual digital literature into English. Translating digital works that are implemented as computer programs presents new challenges that go beyond the already difficult ones tackled by translators of more typical forms of literature. It is a type of translation akin to the translation of experimental, conceptual, or constrained works. It is not unusual for this task to require the translator or translators to reinvent the work in a new linguistic and cultural context, and sometimes also to port the original program to another programming language.

9. Between Provocation and Experiment . Technical Reports and the Ecology of Scholarly Communication in the Humanities

   The aim of this paper is to describe a genre that is gaining import ance  incontemporary humanities, and especially in its areas devoted to digital media – the technical report. Technical reports are discussed as part of the larger trend of open notebook science. This form of communication draws from experiences worked out in the field of technology, computer science and science. In this understanding technical reports are a genre of gray literature, a form dedicated to communicating results of research projects conducted by laboratories. The case study discussed in this text is devoted to a series of technical reports from the MIT Trope Tank lab, which are interpreted in the light of a manifesto­text for this form of com­munication, Beyond the Journal and the Blog. The Technical Report for Communication in the Humanities, published by Nick Montfort. One of the aims of the article is also to contextualize technical reports against the background of other forms and methods of communication in laboratories from the field of contemporary humanities (including blogs, brochures, lab notebooks).

10. Nick Montfort’s World Clock and its Polish translation Zegar światowy – a case study

    The poster is a visual presentation of the experiment that was the translation from English into Polish of the Nick Montfort computer generated novel World Clock (2013) and its subsequent publication and distribution in print in Poland (Zegar światowy, 2014). The poster is composed of two distinct parts. The first part is devoted to the in-depth description of the problem of translating a generator, focusing on the challenges connected with the language transfer of programmed narrative work, as well as chosen issues connected with the publication process. The second part covers what occurred after the publication of the book and presents the conclusions of the analysis of the reception of the work.Zegar światowy was the first computer generated novel published as a book in Poland, thus it gained interest of some media and critics, who usually do not discuss experimental works.
