7. Electronic Literature as an Information System: A Foundational Framework

   Electronic literature is a term that encompasses creative texts produced for printed media which are consumed in electronic format, as well as text produced for electronic media that could not be printed without losing essential qualities. In this paper we propose that works of electronic literature, understood as text (with possible inclusion of multimedia elements) designed to be consumed in bi or multi-directional electronic media, are evolving to become n-tier information systems. By "n-tier information system" we understand a configuration of components clearly separated in at least three independent layers: data (the textual content), process (computational interactions) and presentation (on-screen rendering of the narrative). In this paper, we build two basic arguments. On the one hand, we propose that the conception of electronic literature as an information system exploits the essence of electronic media, and we predict that this paradigm will become dominant in this field within the next few years. On the other hand, we propose that building information systems may also lead in a shift of emphasis from one-time artistic novelties to reusable systems.

8. Literary Computation: The Role of Computers in the Construction of Literary Artifacts

   Over the last decades, the progressive adoption of information systems (IS) by artistic fields deemed to be the exclusive domain of creative humans provides some insights as to what the future may hold. The question addressed in this paper is: has literature missed out in this race to explore new horizons with the aid of the new technologies? In an attempt to answer it, we will start by studying how the adoption of IS came about in some of these fields, and we will try to postulate which particular ingredients may have played significant roles in turning little steps of modernization into revolutionary steps for the field. Then we will address the issue of which current advances in IS may be waiting to revolutionise literature, and what are the conditions that must be fulfilled for this revolution to come about.

9. Examining The Information Systems Of The Electronic Literature Collection

   The Electronic Literature Collection proves that e-lit is a multiplicity that cannot be easily categorized. The information systems framework offers one coherent approach that applies to these works beyond the characteristics of any one element: text, image, sound, or interactivity. In this talk, I will demonstrate the ways in which educators and students can apply this framework to pieces as varied as Michael Joyce's "Twelve Blue," Jim Andrews' "Stir Fry Texts," and Maria Mencia's "Birds' Singing Other Birds' Songs." When read as information systems, these works not only reveal new generic differences but also present themselves as models for future works.
