1. These Waves of Memories: A Hyperfiction by Caitlin Fisher

   The web-based ‘hypermedia novella’ These Waves of Girls by Caitlin Fisher won the first prize in the fiction category awarded by the Electronic Literature Organization in 2001. In this article I’ll take a closer look on some of the aspects of this work, a confessional autobiography about a girl coming to terms with her lesbian identity. The article is structured around a set of relations: the relation between the critic and the work; textual and audio-visual representation; personal and social relations; hypertextual structure and autobiographical, unreliable narration. These Waves is a class-room example of the so-called associative hypertext. The hypertextual structure is also closely linked to the problematics of autobiographical narration.. As readers we get to ponder about the nature of remembering, of telling stories about one’s life. One of the genuine accomplishments of Fisher’s work is to bring forth these questions in a tangible, and still discreet, way.

2. Compte-rendu critique de l'oeuvre "Étang" de Alexandra Saemmer

   Dans l’article qui suit, nous aborderons Etang d’Alexandra Saemmer comme un artéfact littéraire à remettre dans un contexte en utilisant le vocabulaire de la sémiotique littéraire et en l’envisageant dans l’esprit du rhizome développé par Gilles Deleuze et Felix Guattari. Le poème virtuel fera d’abord l’objet d’un résumé dans lequel l’importance de l’eau sera mise en relief afin de replacer le poème dans le contexte qui l’englobe.  Par la suite, à travers paradoxes, contrastes et jeu d’emboîtement relevés dans le texte, nous verrons comment s’articule le thème de la mort dans ce poème sombre. Nous terminerons l’analyse en tentant de voir à quel type d’exercice de style se sont livrés les deux théoriciens de Mandelbrot.fr et dans quel but celui-ci a été réalisé.

3. Preservation of Digital Literature: From Stored to Reinvented Memory

   Regarding preservation, the digital age is the most fragile and complex context in the history of humanity. the added-value of digital technology is thus not where one expects. The digital medium is not a natural preservation medium, but digital technology makes us enter another universe which is a universe of reinvented and not stored memory. From this point of view, digital literature can be regarded as a good laboratory to address digital preservation: it makes it
   possible to raise the good questions and presents the digital age as a move from a model of stored memory to a model of reinvented memory.

4. Electronic Literature in the Database and the Database in Electronic Literature

   Due to the constant threat of technological obsolescence, documentation practices of archiving and database construction are of vital importance, to warrant that artists and scholars can continue developing and understanding this field of practice and study. To this end, multiple e-lit databases are being developed in the context of research projects.
   Within the field of Digital Humanities, database construction is too often regarded merely as a preparatory task. But from the perspective of its developers, the e-lit database is both a research space, a form of dissemination, and a cultural artefact in itw own right. By no means neutral containers, database carry out diverse processes including storage, distribution, and exposition. Scholarship and artistic practice entangle: scholars attempt to document and research a field. Artists interrogate the database structure in their works, and the production of databases further develops the field, which leads to more (varied) creation and dissemination of electronic literature.
