1. A Humument app by Tom Phillips as a work of liberature: between text and embodiment

   In my paper I would like to propose reconfiguration of “literariness” through the concept of liberature formulated by Zenon Fajfer and Katarzyna Bazarnik (Bazarnik, 2005), updated to some extent with the theory of affordances (Norman, 1990, 2004). The term which according to Bazarnik (2005) denotes a transgenre where content (text) and its medium form a whole, seems to offer rich theoretical possibilities – especially if “literariness” is to be conceived also as a media-specific, embodied yet emergent and contigent phenomenon (Hayles, 2002). However, the concept of liberature - set from the ouset as both a theoretical tool against a form/content dualism and means to study multimodality of a literary text – still offers an interesting proposition when it comes to instances of e-literature developed for touch screen devices. A particularly interesting example to illustrate such interrogations is The Humument App by Tom Phillips. It is a part of the ongoing project coming from the artist known, among others, from his cooperation with Peter Greenaway on TV Dante.

2. (Electronic) Literature and the (Post)human Condition

   Electronic literature exists in a perpetual state of flux, due to its reliance on digital technology; with the rapid progression of processing power and graphical abilities, electronic literature swiftly moved from a reliance on the written word into a more diverse, multi-modal form of digital arts practice. The literariness of early electronic literature is manifest: the work was primarily textual, the centrality of reading paramount. The current crop of electronic literature--with its audio-visual, multimodal nature--calls into question the literariness of this work, however, as is evidenced by this year's call for papers. I propose that this ambiguity as regards literariness and written textuality in electronic literature disadvantages the field, in both academic circles and in the search for a wider reading audience. If electronic literature as field is to assert and validate its position within the greater literary tradition, links between electronic literature and past literary achievements need to be uncovered and illuminated.

3. Reconfiguração do conhecimento no espaço hipermediático. Análise e avaliação de cinco arquivos digitais

   Esta dissertação é um dos resultados da participação como bolseiro de investigação no projecto "PO.EX'70-80 – Arquivo Digital da Literatura Experimental Portuguesa" e tem como pano de fundo a problemática dos arquivos digitais para conteúdos variáveis e multimodais. A partilha é hoje em dia uma palavra contestada por muitas causas, e é esse mesmo facto que está na base desta dissertação. Isto é, através da distribuição de informação e obras de arte em diversos arquivos digitais. Com essa partilha pretende-se dar a conhecer autores e formas artísticas distintas, tornando-os presentes num mundo onde a integração multimodal e a diversidade cultural parecem andar juntos, mas também caracterizado pela efemeridade das suas produções. Partindo do princípio de que os arquivos digitais são fundamentais para a preservação e divulgação de conteúdos artísticos e literários, será objectivo desta dissertação dar a conhecer esse mundo da cultura participativa, multimediático e hipertextualizado, acabando com uma visão geral sobre as formas de arquivamento que hoje em dia o meio digital torna possíveis.
