1. Fertile Synthesis: Emotion in Online Digital Poetry

   Computation and networking are changing language, the art of reading, and the act of writing. Multimedia digital poetry allows for the creation and simultaneous display of visual, sonic and textual patterns with unprecedented mobility and typographic capacities. This interdisciplinary form encourages an exploratory art-research practice-based investigation using a blend of theoretical knowledge ranging from literary criticism, phenomenology, aesthetics, affective computation and neurological research. In contrast to software-centric theory and/or materiality analysis, this thesis argues for the continuing relevance of the lyric, expressive affect and aesthetics in contemporary digital poetics. It examines the evolution of digital poetry with a specific emphasis on online poetry. In the context of this thesis, poetry is considered to be an ancestor of computer code. Poetry is also considered as information visualization of emotions. Emotions are considered to be complex embodied patterns; poetry expresses those patterns in language.

2. “Som å lese en film”: Elevers lesing av elektronisk litteratur

   «Like Reading a Movie»: Students' Reading of Electronic Literature This thesis is an empirical investigation of students' reading of electronic literature. The main goal has been to study the skills required to get the most out of this kind of literature. Theoretical approaches include reader-oriented theories, where Jonathan Cullen and his concept of literary competence creates an overall basis, and media-specific theories, particularly parts of the multimodal theory derived from a social semiotic perspective. The theoretical framework also includes perspectives from researchers who have written about e- literary competence. The empirical evidence has been collected through qualitative research interviews with five 17-year-old students attending the branch of general studies performed after lessons. The students read episode 1 and 3 of Inanimate Alice by Kate Pullinger and Chris Joseph, and part 1 and 2 of Nightingale's Playground by Andy Campbell and Judi Alston. The theme of the interviews focused on how the respondents perceived these texts, and to what extent they benefited from them. The fact that the survey is carried out in a school context, is emphasized in the thesis.

3. 'Le Livre' e o 'Sintext:' A Simulação do Sonho de Mallarmé Através da Poética Digital de Pedro Barbosa

   O projeto de dissertação “Le Livre e o Sintext: A simulação do Sonho de Mallarmé através da Poética Digital de Pedro Barbosa" pretende evidenciar a relação existente entre duas obras distantes no tempo, porém íntimas em seus ideais poéticos. A obra inacabada de Mallarmé conhecida como Le Livre idealizada no século XIX e o sintetizador de textos em meio digital, o Sintext, projeto antológico da ciberliteratura, concebida por Pedro Barbosa e José Manuel Torres em 2001, protagonizam neste trabalho acadêmico um encontro simbólico entre a literatura e o computador, mais exatamente entre a poesia e o algoritmo .
   Apesar da grande obra de Mallarmé não ter sido concluída, acredita-se que seu poema “Um lance de dados”, uma verdadeira obra-prima reconhecida pelo caráter revolucionário na história da literatura tenha sido a experiência poética mais próxima do Livre realizada pelo poeta. Tal poema é, antes de tudo, um processo poético, no qual os versos, distantes uns dos outros e impressos com diversos estilos tipográficos sugerem uma leitura não-linear e infinita permitindo várias entradas e saídas para o leitor.

4. Lirismo Verbal e Virtual: Travessia de Sentidos

   The investigation subject of this dissertation is the configuration of erotic verbal lyrism and erotic virtual lyrism based on reflection sonnets by Florbela Espanca (1894 – 1930) and digital verses/poems by Rui Torres (1973). The sonnets were selected from Poemas Florbela Espanca, by Florbela Espanca and organization by Maria Lúcia Dal Farra and the digital verses/poems “Amor-mundo, ou a vida, esse sonho triste” from the electronic address www.telepoesis.net, by Rui Torres. Our purpose is to analyses the lyrism produced by both authors, indicating likeness and differences that the two lyrical forms manifests. The research problem-question was: is there a fusion between erotic verbal lyrism produced by Florbela Espanca and the erotic virtual lyrism produced by Rui Torres ? Or even better, assume that Florbela’s poetry produces a erotic lyrical voice, and the Rui Torre’s poetry, a virtual lyrical voice, we can tell that Torre’s poetry dialogues with the Florbela’s eroticism ?

5. A Interatividade na Poesia Digital

   This dissertation aims at comprehending interactivity in the digital work of art, through the perspective of Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology. For such, I combine a general
   objective – that of mapping mechanisms and strategies of interactivity in digital poetry – and
   a specific objective – that of reading Rui Torres’ work Amor de Clarice – with the intention of better understanding both through their constant dialogue, on how they intercross, as to finally comprehend the process of interaction in digital work of art. For this purpose I return to

9. Fortelling, litteratur og materialitet: En komparativ analyse av tre digitale verk

   The Intruder, Dakota and Faen. Nå har de senka takhøyden igjen. Må huske å kjøpe nye knebeskyttere are regarded as considerable works within the field of electronic literature. The works are made by Natalie Bookchin, Young Hae-Chang Heavy Industries and Tor Åge Bringsværd, and have strong bonds to the literary tradition. While using different aspects of the digital media to convey their stories, the three texts are retelling stories from earlier works of literature. The Intruder is built on a short story by Jorge Louis Borges, Dakota is a reading of Ezra Pounds Canto I and II and the third text is a html-version of a print short story by Bringsværd. With great variation in their use of different modalities, such as images, sound and animation, the retelling of these narratives are shaped by the digital works different semiotic meanings and materialities. By using a comparative method, the close readings of these works is more specifically examining: How does the digital texts physical material and context contribute to shaping the narration in The Intruder, Dakota and Faen. Nå har de senka takhøyden igjen. Må huske å kjøpe nye knebeskyttere?

10. Silicon Poetics: The Computer as Author and Artifice

    This thesis explores how various computer programs
    construct poems and addresses the way several critics
    respond to these computer generated texts. Surprisingly,
    little attention has heretofore been paid to these programs.
    Critics who have given the matter attention usually focus on
    only one of the myriad programs available, and more often
    than not, such scholarship concludes with a disparagement of
    all such projects. My work reexamines computer generated
    poetry on a larger scale than previously exists, positing
    some conclusions about how these texts affect contemporary
    theories of authorship and poetic meaning.
    My first chapter explicates the historical debate over the
    use and limits of technology in the generation of text,
    studying similitudes between certain artistic movements and
    computer poetry. This historical background reveals that
    the concept of mechanically generated text is nothing new.
    My second chapter delineates how the two main families of
    computer poetry programs actually create these texts.
    Computer programs combine existing input text, aleatory
