3. Print Is Flat, Code Is Deep: Rethinking Signification in New Media

   Lulled into somnolence by five hundred years of print, literary analysis should awaken to the importance of media-specific analysis, a mode of critical attention which recognizes that all texts are instantiated and that the nature of the medium in which they are instantiated matters. Central to repositioning critical inquiry, so it can attend to the specificity of the medium, is a more robust notion of materiality. Materiality is reconceptualized as the interplay between a text's physical characteristics and its signifying strategies, a move that entwines instantiation and signification at the outset. This definition opens the possibility of considering texts as embodied entities while still maintaining a central focus on interpretation. It makes materiality an emergent property, so that it cannot be specified in advance, as if it were a pre-given entity. Rather, materiality is open to debate and interpretation, ensuring that discussions about the text's "meaning" will also take into account its physical specificity as well.

5. Elektronisk litteratur i Norden

   Artiklen giver en oversigt over elektronisk litteratur i Norden ved at identificere dens vigtigste karaktertræk og se på, hvorledes disse afspejler udviklingen i den internationale elektroniske litteratur. Man får tillige karakteristikker og analyser af værker, som har haft markant betydning for denne litterære tradition i Norden, for eksempel Karl Erik Tallmo’s Iakttagarens förmåga att ingripa, Anne Bang-Steinsvik’s I mellom tiden og Sonja Thomsen’s Ingen elge på vejen den dag.

6. Archivierung von digitaler Literatur: Probleme,Tendenzen, Perspektiven / Archiving Electronic Literature and Poetry: Problems, Tendencies, Perspectives

   A special issue of the journal SPIEL.

   Electronic literature and E-Poetry is updated, interactive, subjective and well networked. But how durable is it? How long do texts published on web pages remain readable? What happens to the old issues if one visits a literature magazine “via the web”? How is a blog archived? Should texts that are deliberately published on the fleeting medium internet be conserved at all for the future?

   It seems ironic that the transient character of the internet is attached to a medium that seems to be very suitable for documentation and archiving. And still each website only remains available on the internet at its original address for less than 100 days on average. Afterwards it moves or is erased completely. This is of course also the case for Net literature.

   However, different genres turn the tables. These conceptions don’t even have the problems of archiving and musealization, but explicitly excluded them. The temporary and transience becomes the topic of literature.

7. "Uncle Roger", an Online Narrabase

   Uncle Roger is a "narrabase" or narrative database. It was first told as an online serial on Art Com Electronic Network (ACEN) and then was published as an interactive online database on ACEN. It is also available as computer software for both Apple II and IBM-compatible computers. The narrabase form uses a computer database to build up levels of meaning. The artist explains how this form evolved from her visual books and her information databases. She discusses the story and structure of Uncle Roger and describes how the story was told and published in an online community. In the conclusion she discusses the future of computer literature.
