The Textual Whole and its Vicissitudes in Digital and Ergodic Literature
The paper tries to figure out what happens to the notion of the textual whole (or the literary work) if it can appropriate and mix texts not yet published, cannot be read in its entirety, if only a few of its signifiers can or will be shared by all its readers, there’s no clear termination point to its metamorphosis, and it sets conditions and constraints to its reading process ranging from temporal limitations to personal and personalized perspectives. Perhaps something has to change, but what exactly and how and why?

About Some Programmed Forms in Digital Poetry
The paper examines how programmed literary works can been classified by using digital specific characters. The use of dual signs (signs that are for some part in the program and for other on screen), the existence of a semiotic gap (the semiotic level worked in the program differs from the semiotic multimedia level on screen) and the pluricode nature of these works allow to classify the works regarding how they use coding, time and the semiotic gap.

Filiations and History of Digital Literature in France
In this paper, I retrace the filiations and the history of digital literature in France, emphasizing the various literary and aesthetic tendencies and the corresponding social structures (groups, reviews...). I conclude with the possible characteristics of digital literature in France (which might not be specific to France).

Variability and Intermediality as Challenges to Preservation Issues: Reflections about the Design and Implementation of Digital Archives
In this presentation our intention is to present the project “PO.EX'70-80 - Digital Archive of Portuguese Experimental Literature” (Ref. PTDC/CLE-LLI/098270/2008). The corpus of works to be included in this Digital Archive include magazines, catalogs and publications in the area of concrete, visual, and sound poetry, as well as video-poetry and cybernetic literature of the 1970's and 80's. The process of digitizing the Portuguese experimental literature does not apply to some of the texts we will work with – texts that are dynamic, interactive and/or generative. Therefore, it is necessary to use processes of software emulation, accompanying them with the recovery and historical study of programming software (cybernetic literature) which is unavailable at the moment. Apart from this emulation, which corresponds to a literal archive, we will also invest in processes of digital transformation and re-creation of some of these works, with the use of multimedia and interactivity.

Aspects of Experiencing Poetry in Digital Media
Digital poetry uses both the machine and natural language, therefore the experience of digital poetry always lives on the borders of artifice and art or appearance and essence, where the borders fades. The essay searches for a native experience of poetry within digital media which is not a translation, representation or Ecphrasis of an existing piece of poetry by focusing on inter-activity and programming that make the poet-programmer and reader-player to meet and be involved in a poem; The essay tries to reveal the limitations of the machine language in creating a digital poem by concentrating on the syntax as an open-source consciousness of the natural language and the non-open-source nature of operating systems and compilers in the instant of writing poetry as the consciousness of the machine.

Biopoetry
Since the 1980s poetry has effectively moved away from the printed page. From the early days of the minitel to the personal computer as a writing and reading environment, we have witnessed the development of new poetic languages. Video, holography, programming and the web have further expanded the possibilities and the reach of this new poetry. Now, in a world of clones, chimeras, and transgenic creatures, it is time to consider new directions for poetry in vivo. In this article I propose the use of biotechnology and living organisms in poetry as a new realm of verbal, paraverbal and nonverbal.

The Aesthetics of Net Literature: Writing, Reading and Playing in Programmable Media
"During recent years, literary texts in electronic and networked media have been a focal point of literary scholarship, using varying terminology. In this book, the contributions of internationally renowned scholars and authors from Germany, USA, France, Finland, Spain and Switzerland review the ruptures and upheavals of literary communication within this context. The articles in the book focus on questions such as: In which literary projects can we discover a new quality of literariness? What are the terminological and methodological means to examine these literatures? How can we productively link the logics of the play of literary texts and their reception in the reading process? What is the relationship of literary writing and programming? With contributions by Jean-Pierre Balpe, Susanne Berkenheger, Friedrich W. Block, Philippe Bootz, Laura Borràs Castanyer, Markku Eskelinen, Frank Furtwängler, Peter Gendolla, Loss Pequeño Glazier, Fotis Jannidis, Thomas Kamphusmann, Mela Kocher, Marie-Laure Ryan, Jörgen Schäfer, Roberto Simanowski and Noah Wardrip-Fruin" (Publisher's abstract).

Hypertext Fiction in the Twilight Zone
The first hypertext fictions were written in the early eighties, and the first commercially distributed hypertext fiction was Michael Joyce's Afternoon. A Story. It was published by Eastgate Systems in 1987 - slightly over a decade ago. I would like to take a look at hypertext fiction, its history and present, and try to make some predictions of its future.
