El libro del fin del mundo
En el siglo XVII, Leibniz propuso crear una enciclopedia que reuniera todos los campos del conocimiento humano. Ésto lo llevó a interesarse por los trabajos de Raimundo Llull, Athanasius Kircher o John Dee y adelantarse en varios siglos a las ideas de Vannevar Bush o Ted Nelson.
El libro del fin del mundo se constituye igualmente como una enciclopedia sólo que en este caso se trata de un corpus inacabado y abierto, proporcionando un cuestionamiento acerca del espacio de identidades y diferencias según las cuales distribuimos, reconocemos y nombramos nuestro mundo.
Con reminiscencias de Aloysius Bertrand, Marcel Schwob o los bestiarios medievales, El libro del fin del mundo plantea la creación de diferentes mundos posibles, universos autónomos, cada uno con su propio orden, leyes y regularidades.
La inclusión de trabajos hipertextuales y el vínculo con el sitio del libro en Internet enfatizan las nociones de no linealidad y bifurcación implícitas en la concepción de la obra.Andrés Pardo Rodriguez - 21.10.2020 - 11:39

Escríbe tu propio Quijote
"Este poema de los Wordtoys permite a cualquier usuario reescribir el Quijote a través de su interfaz. Tal como haría el famoso Pierrre Menard de Borges, aquí, independientemente de lo que una usuaria introduzca en el procesador de texto que se nos ofrece como interfaz del poema, el programa le devuelve el texto de Cervantes. Las pulsaciones que una lleve a cabo en el teclado dejan de corresponderse al output que se muestra en la pantalla, estando este totalmente fuera de control del ahora escritor-creador."

Collaboration and authority in electronic literature
This paper explores collaborative processes in electronic literature. Specifically, it examines writer authority as it applies to text, code, and other media. By drawing from cinematic auteur theory, Mitchell’s Picture Theory (1994), Said’s Beginnings: Intention and Method (1975), Cayley’s Grammalepsy (2018), and Flores’s (2019) generational approach to digital literature, this paper highlights unique issues that arise in the creative collaborative production of digital literary works, and the influence these processes have on how these works are ‘read’. The creative processes employed in Montfort, Rettberg, and Carpenter’s respective Taroko Gorge, Tokyo Garage, and Gorge (2009), Jhave’s ReRites (2017–2018), and Luers, Smith, and Dean’s novelling (2016)), as well as reflections on the author’s own collaborative creative experiences (Paige and Powe (2017) with Lowry and Lane, Little Emperor Syndrome (2018) with Arnold, and V[R]erses (2019–) with Breeze) are explored in detail.

Monde instable
“Monde instable” is French for “unstable world.”
This is an African e-poem expressed in French and inspired by the current Covid-19 pandemic and the politicians’ responses.
A lot of politicians are turning themselves into scientists.
They proffer political sentiment as an egress to this nightmare that’s sweeping millions of souls to the next world, instead of relying on the established scientific facts to fight the disease.
Moreover, these world leaders are not humble enough to allow scientists and academics to give us lasting solutions through the help of the Heavens and the intelligentsia.
Another pandemic is climatophosis (i.e climate change, a word I coined this year in my digital poetry).
This is worse than the Covid-19 pandemic, though many don’t believe this. It is real! Climatophosis has brought humans and wild animals to share the same niches.
Notably, in the northeastern Nigeria (Adamawa and Borno), since the early 2000s, we’ve had elephants invading our backyard orchards and gardens which led to the loss of valuable forest and cash crops.

Media Archeaology: Approaches, Applications, and Implications
This book introduces an archaeological approach to the study of media - one that sifts through the evidence to learn how media were written about, used, designed, preserved, and sometimes discarded. Edited by Erkki Huhtamo and Jussi Parikka, with contributions from internationally prominent scholars from Europe, North America, and Japan, the essays help us understand how the media that predate today’s interactive, digital forms were in their time contested, adopted and embedded in the everyday. Providing a broad overview of the many historical and theoretical facets of Media Archaeology as an emerging field, the book encourages discussion by presenting a full range of different voices. By revisiting ‘old’ or even ‘dead’ media, it provides a richer horizon for understanding ‘new’ media in their complex and often contradictory roles in contemporary society and culture.

Blackness for Sale
Keith Obadike's Blackness for Sale was an eBay page advertising the sale of his blackness. The general format of eBay includes only the basic information about the product necessary to make it desirable for purchase. An item for sale typically includes a title or name of the product, a description of its uses, a starting price, and a photograph. In the case of Blackness for Sale, Obadike abided by this same format but replaces the description with a litany of pros and cons of blackness. Obadike focused on the selling points of blackness but then juxtaposed it with “warnings” of the drawbacks of owning a black identity. Although Obadike’s warnings were legitimate aspects of blackness, they were only issues of concern when inhabiting black flesh. Blackness for Sale Blackness for Sale furthered the notion that black people have been homogenized to the point where their experiences have become indistinguishable; to the outside world and the buyer, there is one black experience. Part of a person is advertised and valued much higher while systematically omitting the other elements that define their personhood.

Mendi wrote her first play and edited Focus literary journal while living in Atlanta and studying at Spelman College. She graduated with highest honors in English and was awarded a fellowship to pursue a Ph.D. in Literature and Sound Theory at Duke University and joined the Cave Canem Poetry Collective.
