2. Digital Rhetoric and Poetics: Signifying Strategies in Electronic Literature

   Digital Rhetoric and Poetics: Signify Strategies in Electronic Literature explores computational and media-based signifying strategies in electronic literature from the point of view of reading, writing, programming and design, with a focus on the rhetoric and poetics of heavily mediated, multi-modal digital artifacts. With the introduction of images, animations, audio, and the procedural into the area of literary practice it is perhaps no longer sufficient to consider electronic literature within the domain of traditional concepts of rhetoric or poetics. Signification in media-rich electronic literary work occurs across semantic and semiological systems, and technological paradigms. As such, it is important that both practitioner and scholar understand how these attributes of digital media operate poetically and rhetorically, how they facilitate and sometimes undermine meaning-making in electronic literature.

3. Theorizing Digital Narrative: Beginnings, Endings, and Authorship

   [Published under author's previous name, Jennifer Smith] Since its development, critics of electronic literature have touted all that is "new" about the field, commenting on how these works make revolutionary use of non-linear structure, hyperlinks, and user interaction. Scholars of digital narrative have most often focused their critiques within the paradigms of either the text-centric structuralist model of narrativity or post-structuralist models that implicate the text as fundamentally fluid and dependent upon its reader for meaning. But neither of these approaches can account completely for the unique modes in which digital narratives prompt readerly progression, yet still exist as independent creative artifacts marked by purposive design. I argue that, in both practice and theory, we must approach digital-born narratives as belonging to a third, hybrid paradigm. In contrast to standard critical approaches, I interrogate the presumed "newness" of digital narratives to reveal many aspects of these works that hearken to print predecessors and thus confirm classical narratological theories of structure and authorship.

4. In[ter]venting Multi-Modal Rhetoric(s)/(a) Poetics of Emergence

   This presentation looks at electronic literary practices and the modes and methods of meaning-making there in. Using his own creative work as an example, Memmott discusses how the poetic formation and rhetorical outcomes of the work are integral to the ‘text’ of the work, and integrated into what could be called an environmental grammatology. From programming to visual design, the word to the image, user interaction to instrumentality -- we have moved from “Work to Text” to Work...

5. Digital Arena: The Phlegmatic Radio Operator —Talan Memmott

   From sonnets constructed through Google searches, to decontextualized Wikipedia entries and combinatoric poetry, The Phlegmatic Radio Operator is an exploration of Internet and computationally based writing methods. The performance combines readings of various works with a discussion of the methods and how they connect with digital culture.

6. Interaction Between Art and Literature in Arab Digital Poetry and the Issue of Criticism

   This paper aims to reveal the interaction between art and literature in Arab interactive digital poetry, and the issue of criticism.

   Most of Arab and foreign critics that study digital literature agree that interactive poetry goes far beyond the concept of Archigtext to an even broader concept than that of Archigenre, as this genre can be said to be Archiarts. Then, digital poems can be said to mean open texts that include all artistic and literary genres.
