1. From Oral Poetry to Tridimensional Poetry

   Memory defines human existence both individually and collectively: it is necessary for the evolution of the person and society. The loss of memory leads to the physical and intellectual death of identity. In order to avoid and exorcise existential oblivion, mankind has developed systems to pass on memory and preserve it. One of the oldest of these is poetry that, thanks to its rhythm and rhyme, makes the precise memorizing of a text easier. Thus it effectively communicates the deeds of heroes as well as the prayers, ideals and sentiments that characterize human beings and their culture. Society, thanks also to the heritage of knowledge that has been passed down, continues to evolve and change rapidly: the new technologies transform art, modifying the codes of language and above all the inclusion and typology of the data that constitutes the collective memory. In the era of motion pictures poetry loses some of its evocative effect and its function for transmission. The visual memory is predominant because the brain assimilates information without making the effort of concentrating and decoding input, for example from the sound to the word or from the sign to the word.

2. Translating Digital Literature. The Example of “I’m simply saying”

   Translation Studies have become one of the central disciplines of the "humanities”. Recently, in the MA in Literature progaram where I am the Academic Director, we were working on Digital Poetry and I proposed that students translate a digital poem. I figured this could be a way to penetrate deeply into the meaning of the text, but also in the case of Digital Literature, to understand the dual nature of a digital text, its virtual materiality. I would like to share here a small but significant part of the process.

5. Is Life Like a Book or a Smart Phone? Why Form in Fiction Matters

   Rob Wittig's 17 minute video lecture, recorded for a TEDx event at the University of Minnesota / Duluth, lays out some ideas about connections between the design of printed books and a particular idea of life in contemporary culture, in contrast to a model of life based on postmodern ideas of identity. He also references the context of literary history in considering the forms of literature that might be suited to a culture of multitasking and smart phones, at one point comparing Don Quixote to a contemporary gadget-obsessed digital native. The talk and accompanying slideshow provide a useful introduction to some important questions about the relationship between contemporary technologies and literary form.

10. E-Formes 2: Au risque du jeu

    Présentation de l'éditeur :

    Cet ouvrage est l'occasion d'une réflexion croisée de chercheurs et d'artistes de provenances très diversifiées, sur un domaine dont les productions brouillent les frontières entre les arts et les usages et échappent aux paradigmes conventionnels de l'analyse et de la critique.

    En effet, pétries de nombres et modelées par les programmes informatiques, les " e-formes " s'actualisent néanmoins par des mots, des images et des sons. Ainsi, le plus souvent à la frontière entre les objets artistiques mis en ligne sur le Web et les objets de communication conçus pour lui, elles se réapproprient les formes traditionnelles, les incorporent dans leur propre médium et composent entre programmations et pratiques interactives.

    Que l'on s'inquiète de leur fondement ludique, de leur légèreté inconséquente, de leurs faux-semblants, ou que l'on se réjouisse de leur sens parodique ou de leur génie poétique, il importe d'admettre que ces e-formes participent d'un paysage culturel encore flou que les textes ici réunis ont le mérite d'explorer et de commencer à clarifier.
