1. Aesthetic Animism: Digital Poetry as Ontological Probe

   This thesis is about the poetic edge of language and technology. It inter-relates both computational creation and poetic reception by analysing typographic animation softwares and meditating (speculatively) on a future malleable language that possesses the quality of being (and is implicitly perceived as) alive. As such it is a composite document: a philosophical and practice-based exploration of how computers are transforming literature, an ontological meditation on life and language, and a contribution to software studies. Digital poetry introduces animation, dimensionality and metadata into literary discourse. This necessitates new terminology; an acronym for Textual Audio-Visual Interactivity is proposed: Tavit. Tavits (malleable digital text) are tactile and responsive in ways that emulate living entities. They can possess dimensionality, memory, flocking, kinematics, surface reflectivity, collision detection, and responsiveness to touch, etc…. Life-like tactile tavits involve information that is not only semantic or syntactic, but also audible, imagistic and interactive.

2. Electronic Poetry: Understanding Poetry in the Digital Environment

   This study has as its main research object the new forms of poetry based on informatics and it is located in the fields of critical theory, hermeneutics, semiotics of the text and digital culture.

   These new forms emerging from the meeting of poetry and informatics are collectively called Digital Poetry. Digital poetry – also referred to as E-poetry, short for electronic poetry – refers to a wide range of approaches to poetry that all have in common the prominent and crucial use of computers or digital technologies and other devices. Digital poetry does not concern itself with the digitalization of printed works, it relates to digital texts. This work studies only electronic poems created to be read on the computer accessible online. It offers the close-readings of 35 e-poems in 5 different languages (English, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish).

3. 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,

4. Optische Poesie: Von den prähistorischen Schriftzeichen bis zu den digitalen Experimenten der Gegenwart

   Klaus Peter Dencker, visual poet, Germanist and media theorist, documents the spectrum of forms of optical poetry from its pre-historic beginnings up to the present digital age. The compendium provides a typology of optical poetry, an international historical overview with many illustrations and several chronological tables together with indexes of subjects and names providing access to the comprehensive apparatus of notes.
