2. New Media: Its Utility and Liability for Literature and for Life

   Beginning with the title, a variation on Nietzsche's "Use and Abuse of History for Life," this paper offers a practice-based theory of how new media writing and traditional prose scholarship might converge. The essay itself will be in the form of a literary remix. Hence, the author's own sense of the affordances and constraints of new media will be conveyed primarily through the words of Nietzsche as well as selected works of critical writing in and about new media. One of the essay's themes is already evident in the essay's derivative form - namely, that the only way that literature can in fact "afford" to work in and around new media is to identify its enabling constraints, and to work through them with the self-consciousness and potential for collaborative thought that has always been present in prose fiction in print - but needn't be unique to that medium.

3. Un laboratoire de littératures – Littérature numérique et Internet

   Aux amateurs de littérature numérique, le Web offre en deux clics l’œuvre et son envers, son mystère et une partie de ses clés, le spectacle et sa machinerie intellectuelle ou technique. Qu’on l’appelle «cyberlittérature» ou «littérature numérique», cette littérature n’aurait pas de réalité sans le support numérique et le dispositif informatique grâce auxquels l’œuvre est produite, lue et souvent agie. L’ambition de cet ouvrage est de faire entrer le lecteur dans l’univers des œuvres numériques, en interrogeant au passage le modèle classique de l’édition. Les auteurs ont choisi d’observer deux dispositifs collectifs : autrement dit, deux lieux sur le Web où deux communautés d’acteurs livrent simultanément quelques-unes des clés essentielles de leur raison sociale dans le domaine littéraire en ligne.

4. Cognitive Fictions

   The first comprehensive look at the effect of new technologies on contemporary American fiction. Bringing together cognitive science and literary analysis to map a new "media ecology," Cognitive Fictions limns an evolutionary process in which literature must find its place in an artificial environment partly produced and thoroughly mediated by technological means. Joseph Tabbi provides a penetrating account of a developing consciousness emerging from the struggle between print and electronic systems of communication. Central to Tabbi's work is the relation between the arrangement of communicating "modules" that cognitive science uses to describe the human mind and the arrangement of visual, verbal, and aural media in our technological culture. He looks at particular literary works by Thomas Pynchon, Richard Powers, David Markson, Lynne Tillman, Paul Auster, and others as both inscriptions of thought consistent with distributed cognitive models, and as self-creations out of the media environment.

5. remixthebook

   A model of contemporary remixing and a groundbreaking reflection on digital media. Digital technology has transformed contemporary culture. New social media, hyperlinks, and cut-and-paste techniques have changed the way we write. E-books, which allow us to carry entire libraries with us, are bringing new browsing and reading habits. Digital editing and other on-the-fly postproduction processes have altered how we make music, films, and visual art. A key rhetorical trope employed in all aspects of digital media is the remix, the creation of innovative new works of visual, literary, and performance art through the mashup. In remixthebook, Mark Amerika explores the mashup as a defining cultural activity in the digital age. A pioneering media artist and acclaimed cultural theorist, Amerika offers a series of philosophical essays that trace the art of the remix to previous forms of avant-garde and modernist art through mashups of deftly sampled phrases and ideas from a wide range of visual artists, poets, novelists, musicians, comedians, and philosophers—among them Alfred North Whitehead, Guy Debord, William S. Burroughs, Kathy Acker, and Allen Ginsberg.

9. Literatur auf dem Rechner

   Die Diskussion über computergestützte Literatur verliert sich überwiegend in den Extremen euphorischer Reaktionen und dogmatischer Ablehnung. Bei genauerer Betrachtung erschließt sich jedoch ein weites und differenziertes Feld der Unterschiede und Ähnlichkeiten »buchförmiger« und »elektronischer« Literatur. Gegenstand der Arbeit sind nicht allein »Internetliteratur« und CD-ROM sondern auch die interaktiven literarischen Formen wie Textadventures und Chatterbots. Für die Entfaltung und Strukturierung dieses Feldes werden anhand der (informatischen) Grundfunktionen des Speicherns, Übertragens und Prozessierens von Zeichenketten die (literaturwissenschaftlichen) Grundlagen hinsichtlich der Medientechnik, formalen Beschreibung und theoretischen Ansätze gelegt.
