1. Writing Space: The Computer, Hypertext, and the History of Writing

   From the publisher:

   This second edition of Jay David Bolter's classic text expands on the objectives of the original volume, illustrating the relationship of print to new media, and examining how hypertext and other forms of electronic writing refashion or "remediate" the forms and genres of print. Reflecting the dynamic changes in electronic technology since the first edition, this revision incorporates the Web and other current standards of electronic writing. As a text for students in composition, new technologies, information studies, and related areas, this volume provides a unique examination of the computer as a technology for reading and writing.

   Original publication date: 1991, published by Laurence Erlbaum Associates, Hillsdale, New Jersey.

   Reversed Remediation

   A Critical Display of the Workings of Media in Art

   By Saskia Isabella Maria Korsten

   JIn this paper I distinguish between the theories of remediation and reversed remediation and apply this theoretical foundation to new media art that exemplify what I call ‘reversed remediation’.

4. ELiterature Formalization and Pedagogical Implications

   This paper deals with the eLiterature formalization and its pedagogical implications. Firstly, it considers the pressing need of an official formalization of Electronic Literature. Secondly, it provides a proposal for the appropriate pedagogical theory and methodologies necessary to take advantage of the possibilities offered by New Media Writing in educational contexts. Finally, it offers some examples of possible pedagogical practices which adopt Digital Literature.

5. Generating Books: Paradoxical Print Snapshots of Digital Literary Processes

   Since the advent of the internet, advocates and critics alike have heralded the end of the book. George P. Landow observed that hypertextuality and poststructuralism emerged at the same moment, both due to dissatisfaction with the printed book and hierarchal thought. Derrida argued the question of writing could only be opened if the book was closed. Consider, then, the paradoxical position of Vienna-based publishers TRAUMAWIEN. Recognizing that although the vast majority of the text produced by computer systems – protocols, listings, error logs, binary codes – is never seen or read by those who consume it, this text is internal to our daily thoughts and actions and is thus literary. TRAUMAWIEN conceives of the print books it publishes as snapshots of computer generated literary processes which would otherwise be disappearing as soon as they are written. This paper will discuss the iterative processes by which I generated one such book published by TRAUMAWIEN in 2010.

6. BLOGS REMEDIATION TRANSMEDIALITY FROM DIGITAL TO PAPER TO EBOOK

   Through the analysis of three case-studies, I investigate what happens to blogs when they are transposed outside the web, in media such as printed books or ebooks. Starting from Walker-Rettberg's definition of blog (2008), three orders of change are identified: blog's life and function; author's life and role; blog's structure and content. These three levels open the discussion to gender and genre issues with reference to digital texts and to the possibility that, far from sealing the death of the author or the onnipotence of the reader, the web opens texts to emancipation.

7. Digital Literature: Theoretical and Aesthetic Reflections

   The emergence of a new phenomenon – digital literature – within the field of
   literary studies calls for the reorganization and creation of new theoretical and
   analytical repertoires. As models of communication change, so do
   reception and production processes accompanying these changes. Within these
   altered scenarios, the dissertation Digital Literature: Theoretical and Aesthetic
   Reflections is a response to the aesthetic and theoretical challenges brought on by
   computer-based literature. As a methodological strategy, the dissertation articulates
   recent trends in the theory of digital aesthetics – remediation (BOLTER),
   eventilization (HAYLES), correlations of performativity, intermediality and
   interactivity with meaning-driven analysis (SIMANOWSKI), Medienumbrüche
   (GENDOLLA & SCHÄFER) – with theories of production of presence
   (GUMBRECHT), autopoietic communicative models (LUHMANN) and closereadings
   of digital works. By scripting a dialogue with key theorists from print
   literary theory as well as new media theorists and artists in the burgeoning field,
