1. Scripting Reading Motions: The Codex and the Computer as Self-Reflexive Machines

   In Scripting Reading Motions, Manuel Portela explores the expressive use of book forms and programmable media in experimental works of both print and electronic literature and finds a self-conscious play with the dynamics of reading and writing. Portela examines a series of print and digital works by Johanna Drucker, Mark Z. Danielewski, Rui Torres, Jim Andrews, and others, for the insights they yield about the semiotic and interpretive actions through which readers produce meaning when interacting with codes. Analyzing these works as embodiments and simulations of the motions of reading, Portela pays particular attention to the ways in which awareness of eye movements and haptic interactions in both print and electronic media feeds back onto the material and semantic layers of the works. These feedbacks, he argues, sustain self-reflexive loops that link the body of the reader to the embodied work. Readers’ haptic actions and eye movements coinstantiate the object that they are reading.

4. Scripts for Infinite Readings

   Material representations and simulations of reading motions can be embodied and enacted through expressive uses of formal devices in programmable works. These interactions between reading self and embodied codes are reflexively choreographed in ways that illuminate the performativity of cognition and interpretation. Meaning production through acts of reading that become scripted in the textual field will be analyzed in 'The Readers Project' by John Cayley and Daniel Howe.

5. An Emerging Canon? A Preliminary Analysis of All References to Creative Works in Critical Writing Documented in the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base

   As of July 2013, the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base includes documentation of more than 2,000 creative works and more than 2,000 articles of critical writing. Many of the records of critical writing include cross-references to the creative works they address. This article presents a preliminary analysis of all of the critical writing-to-creative work cross- references currently documented in the Knowledge Base in the aggregate. By developing static and interactive visualizations of this data, we might begin to see the outlines of an emerging “canon” of electronic literature.

   A slightly revised version of this paper was published in 2014 in ebr.

6. Distant Readings of a Field: Using Macroanalytic Digital Research Methods to Data Mine the ELMCIP Knowledge Base

   The ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base (http://elmcip.net/knowledgebase) is a human-edited, open-access, contributory Drupal database consisting of cross-referenced entries describing creative works of and critical writing about electronic literature as well as entries on authors, events, exhibitions, publishers, teaching resources and archives. The project has been developed by the Electronic Literature Research Group at the University of Bergen as an outcome of the ELMCIP project. All nodes are cross-referenced so users can see at a glance which works were presented at an event, and follow links to see which articles have been written about any given work or which other events they were presented at. Most records provide simple bibliographic metadata about a work or event, but increasingly we are also gathering source code of works, PDFs of papers and dissertations, videos of talks and performances, and other forms of archival documentation.

7. Poesia Experimental e Ciberliteratura: por uma literatura marginal izada?

   Rompendo com “a literatura dominante, oficial, consagrada, académica e mesmo clássica”, a poesia experimental (concreta, visual, sonora ou cibernética) não peca por “menos estruturação, menos elaboração estética, menos conceptualização, ou menos ambição cultural”. Mas parece ser, continuando a adaptar a proposta de Arnaldo Saraiva ao assunto de que nos ocupamos, marginalizada por razões de “ideologia literária” e de “economia do mercado editorial”. Na verdade, mais do que uma literatura marginal, a poesia experimental tem sido uma literatura marginalizada: pela cultura literária, pois o experimentalismo promove “o desrespeito das leis clássicas, a novidade nas técnicas ou nos motivos, a contaminação dos géneros, (...) a complicação estrutural”; e pelo marketing literário, pois este não consegue compartimentar, nos formatos convencionados pelo mercado, poesia que vai sendo publicada em folhetos, catálogos, registos de acontecimentos, graffitis, fotocópias, objectos, jardins, CD-ROMs, na Internet ou em outros espaços virtuais e artificiais.

8. Nature’s Agents: Chreods, Code, Plato, and Plants

   In “Nature’s Agents,” Lisa Swanstrom discusses the agency of objects operating within networks. Specifcally, Swanstrom addresses works which allow nature to correspond with humans in a shared environment, posing provocative questions about the idea of agency itself as expressed in an ecology of action.

9. Roundtable on remediation of French literature

   Syntonie is a project of digital review for ipad that would prefigure an anthology of French digital poetry. Only 3 works originally designed for a computer will be carried on ipad. The choose of the works, the new computing and the semiotics design will be done at the laboratory Paragraphe in relationship with the publisher. We will examine here the questions that this remediatisation asked: what is lost? What is preserved? What is changed? What balance between mediation for present audience and fidelity to the work? Are they facets of the work we can only document (semiotic representations inside the original program for instance)? Is remediatisation an act of preservation?

   All these questions will be asked in technical, semiotics, literary and publishing points of view. The project will only begin in February and we will document all the process.
