1. Shuffling the Sjuzhet in Marc Saporta's Composition No. 1

   Marc Saporta's Composition No. 1 is an unbound novel that can be read in any order. This essay explores how the novel's indeterminate nature affects the sjuzhet and fabula. It finds that the fabula works in an essentially normal way, but priority is shifted from the reader-determined sjuzhet to the (perceived) author-determined fabula, which shows that readers privilege the author's intention over their own activity and order.

2. The Computational Sublime in Nick Montfort's ‘Round’ and ‘All the Names of God’

   What if the post-literary also meant that which operates in a literary space (almost) devoid of
   language as we know it: for instance, a space in which language simply frames the literary or
   poetic rather than ‘containing’ it? What if the countertextual also meant the (en)countering of
   literary text with non-textual elements, such as mathematical concepts, or with texts that we
   would not normally think of as literary, such as computer code? This article addresses these
   issues in relation to Nick Montfort’s #!, a 2014 print collection of poems that presents readers with the output of computer programs as well as the programs themselves, which are designed to operate on principles of text generation regulated by specific constraints. More specifically, it focuses on two works in the collection, ‘Round’ and ‘All the Names of God’, which are read in relation to the notions of the ‘computational sublime’ and the ‘event’.

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).
