Universidade de Coimbra, FCT PhD Programme in Materialities of Literature
"Materialities of Literature" is the name of a PhD Programme of the University of Coimbra funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). Here follows an excerpt from the programme's presentation: "Changes in the technologies of communication over the past three decades have changed both the regimes of representation of media, and the regimes of representation based on the codes of writing. This modification opened up a new chapter in the critical theory of the materialities of communication, affecting research into literary forms of the past, as well as of the present. The purpose of this programme is to develop an emerging area of research dedicated to analyzing the materialities of literature – materialities of sound, voice, performance, image, book, writing, and also the digital materialities that define many contemporary literary practices and forms.

Kathi Inman Berens, Fulbright Scholar of Digital Culture visiting UiB from the University of Southern California, showed literary works set in cityscapes from Los Angeles, Toronto, Paris, London, even a locative story set in Bergen.
Humans have always scrawled stories onto their physical environs -- cave paintings, decorative friezes, eighteenth-century broadsides, graffiti, billboards. Equipped today with smart phones, artists and ordinary people are telling stories pinned to exact geospatial location using Google Maps, Twitter, and Layar (Augmented Reality).

Digital Arena: Combinatory Cinema — Scott Rettberg
Scott Rettberg presents collaborative, combinatory films, and an interactive artwork he has produced in collaboration with filmmaker Roderick Coover.
Three Rails Live (2012), a web-based combinatory film developed by Rettberg, Coover, and Nick Montfort, produces new juxtapositions of image and text on each run, delivering narrative fragments from a contemporary story of personal and environmental dissolution sandwiched between “perverbs” that deliver a “moral” to each story.
Toxi•City (2013-14) is a feature-length combinatory climate change film that layers segments of a speculative narrative of life in the toxic environment of the Delaware River Estuary after a series of hurricanes have devastated the landscape with the actual stories of area residents who perished during Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

Digital Arena: On 'New Directions in Digital Poetry' — Chris Funkhouser
Synthetic in essence and brittle in terms of longevity, digital poetry’s fluid states prevent us from considering works as being plastic. Yet since they are never completely fixed, works of digital poetry always maintain plasticity in presentation on the WWW. They exist in a state of being molded, receiving shape, made to assume many forms – often seeking qualities that depict space and form so as to appear multi-dimensionally.
C.T. Funkhouser’s lecture “On 'New Directions in Digital Poetry'” recounts the challenges and process of preparing a scholarly edition focusing on the pursuit of fully – and usefully – capturing the dynamics of this ever-changing genre. As poetry becomes a networked form, its poetics explodes and singular measurements of its pliancy resist finite definition. Recognizing plasticity as an aesthetic foundation establishes a valuable metaphor for generally qualifying the results of electronic writing to date, “On 'New Directions in Digital Poetry'” explicitly stems from Funkhouser’s experience teaching Electronic Literature courses at New Jersey Institute of Technology.
