Convergent Devices, Dissonant Genres: Tracking the “Future” of Electronic Literature on the iPad
Anastasia Salter’s “Convergent Devices, Dissonant Genres” assesses the implications of the iPad for the state of literature. Looking at “traditional” approaches that re-mediate print for digital devices, “enhanced” approaches which add “special features” to extant texts and forms, pre-tablet eliterature re-experienced in the new environment, and finally the creation of original apps with literary qualities, Salter’s work is a critical document of the impact a single interface can have on the development of literary culture in the 21st Century.

Notes Towards a Semiotics of Kinetic Typography
This paper traces the development of a new semiotic mode, kinetic typography. Kinetic typography began with the experiments of filmmakers like Len Lye and Norman McLaren. Later, film title designers like Saul Bass and Pablo Ferro drew on the shapes of letters with inventive metaphors – serifs, for instance could make letters walk, because they can stand for shoes as they are elongated horizontals on which something stands. In Saul Bass’ titles for Hitchcock's Psycho, the splitting of letters became a metaphor for the split mind of the film's main character. Such inventions eventually became part of a lexicon of clichés drawn on by designers across the world. Eventually, researchers and software designers began to formalize and systematize the language of kinetic typography, and the fruit of their work is now widely available, not only to specialists, but also to anyone who uses PowerPoint or Adobe AfterEffects, even though users may not always be aware of the lexico-grammatical rules which underlie the menus they choose from.

Tacto/Contacto: Processos de Experienciação Háptica no Corpo Cíbrido
Com o presente artigo proponho-me reavaliar a utilização do adjectivo “háptico” na sua relação com a intensificação da procura de tangibilidade entre ser humano e máquina, nomeadamente através de experiências multissensoriais possibilitadas por processos de realidade/virtualidade misturada. Partindo de uma tradição haptológica de linhas filosóficas, que tem oscilado entre “ocularcêntrica” e “tactilocêntrica”, o artigo explora ainda as noções de toque, de gesto e de contacto, nas suas mais variadas acepções, utilizando-se esta última para explorar a ideia de corpo cíbrido em processos de experienciação háptica com base na Interface Humano-Máquina (IHM).
