1. The (Problematic) Issue to Evaluate Literariness: Digital Literature Between Legitimation and Canonization

   The first experiments in digital literary forms started as early as
   the 1960s. From then, up to the mid-90’s, was a period that,
   according to Chris Funkhouser (2007), can be considered as
   a ‘laboratory’ phase. The rise of the Internet has resulted in the
   proliferation of creative proposals. The first involves indexing
   creative works in the form of databases, sometimes giving access
   to hundreds of works without any hierarchical order. Since 2000,
   digital literature has been experiencing a new phase, marked by
   the creation of anthologies. Over the years, the evaluation and
   selection criteria have proved to be as problematic as they are
   necessary for these projects. The main issue of this paper is to
   provide a critical discussion of these criteria.

2. Performing the Digital Archive: Remediation, Emulation, Recreation

   The aim of ‘PO.EX '70-80: A Digital Archive of Portuguese Experimental Literature’ (http://po-ex.net/) is to represent the intermedia and performative textuality of a large corpus of experimental works and practices in an electronic database, including some early instances of digital literature. This paper shows how the performativity of digital archiving and recoding is explored through the remediation, emulation and recreation of works in the PO.EX archive. Preservation, classification and networked distribution are also discussed as editorial and representational problems within the current database aesthetics in knowledge production. (Project reference: PTDC/CLE-LLI/098270/2008).

3. After 391: Picabia's early multimedia experiments

   This essay attempts to answer a simple question: why did Francis Picabia stop publishing 391? By October 1924, when the final issue was published, 391 was the longest running magazine related to dada and the burgeoning surrealist movement, and Picabia was well established as one of the premiere avant-gardists in Paris and beyond, with literary, artistic and personal connections to all the major players in the movements that had turned the art world upside down for almost a decade. What caused him to suddenly cease publication of his provocative (but well respected) journal?

7. Computer-Mediated Collaborative Writing

   Many different kinds of works of literature, text works, or text-inclusive performances have been created in computer-mediated collaborative systems, and computer-mediated collaborative writing projects are an integral approach to new media writing. Examples range from a few writers working together with the same authoring system to global telecommunications projects where writers, artists and readers contribute to a work from many nodes around the world.

8. Toward a Semantic Literary Web: Setting a Direction for the Electronic Literature Organization’s Directory (2007)

   Electronic Literature is not just a "thing" or a "medium" or even a body of "works" in various "genres." It is not poetry, fiction, hypertext, gaming, codework, or some new admixture of all these practices. E-Literature is, arguably, an emerging cultural form, as much a collective creation of new terms and keywords as it is the production of new literary objects. Both the "works" and their terms of description need to be tracked and referenced. Hence, a Directory of Electronic Literature needs to be, in the first place, a site where readers and (necessarily) authors are given the ability to identify, name, tag, describe, and legitimate works of literature written and circulating within electronic media. This essay grew out of practical debates among the ELO's Working Group on the Directory, established in the Spring of 2005 and active through the Winter of 2006. The essay offers a set of practical recommendations for development, links to potentially affiliated sites, and an overall vision of how literary form is created in a networked culture.

9. The Compelling Charm of Numbers: Writing for and thru the Network of Data

   In postmodern times writing is different. With Facebook the personal diary has returned, reformulated for the 21st century. But this is not the diary as we use to know it. Here time gains a persistence and epistemological import and the person or persons recorded shift from being narrator to the quantified subject. This is not only a philosophical or psychological issue but also an economic and political one.

10. Of People Not Machines: Authorship, Copyright and the Computer Programmer

    Authorship of computer programs merits close attention, on one level, because it illustrates what is one of my more general observations about the relationship between ideas of authorship in law and the "digital arts": its complexity. The sphere of "digital arts" is characterised by a multiplicity of creative practices and consequently a diversity of ideas about “authorship”, which resist simplistic conclusions as to what the challenge of the digital should mean for law. At the same time, the status of computer programmers as authors draws attention to what for modern lawyers is likely to be an unexpected and counter-intuitive observation about certain aspects of the relation between digital art and law: far from always a source of challenge, the discourses of authorship in the "digital arts" can also provide the law with assistance. Indeed, as we will see, in humanising technology and exalting the computer programmer as a creative poet, certain discourses of digital art can in fact provide coherence and legitimacy to legal concepts of authorship, rather than challenging them.
