2. Catalonian Electronic Literature Communities

   Starting with the famous last words of Hamlet “and the rest is silence”, I would like to introduce the Catalan e-­?lit communities and their experience of Digital Literature. The Hermeneia Research Group has been one of the pioneers in the field in Spain and has been developing many different activities for the last 10 years. Lately it has been promoting a public debate in Literary Societies on Digital Literature (we will comment the last examples: Premis Octubre in Valencia, 2009, Catalan and Castillian Association of Writers, (AELC/ACEC), Barcelona 2010, Spanish Society of Comparative Literature, Alacant 2010, etc.). Of course the celebration in 2009 of the e-­?poetry festival in Barcelona was one of the big events and helped this open debate on the matter. But in this paper there will be a special space for one of this activities that, for

5. Machine Enhanced (Re)minding: the Development of Storyspace

   This article traces the history of Storyspace, the world’s first program for creating, editing and reading hypertext fiction. Storyspace is crucial to the history of hypertext as well as the history of interactive fiction. It argues that Storyspace was built around a topographic metaphor and that it attempts to model human associative memory. The article is based on interviews with key hypertext pioneers as well as documents created at the time.

8. Ecotourism: Notes on Con-temporary Travel

   Thomas Cohen on ecotourism in Bolivia and discovering the post-humans of the past.

   What does it mean to tour, today, the outer reaches of the empire - which is an unnamed empire (America will not do, nor the West, and so on - as if some programming encompasses, now, this series of terms and its one-time others) legislating time and fashion as well as economy? When we go, say, as pleasuring witnesses to whatever still bears the trace of a certain otherness: a cultural imprint (Andean natives), the laws of a climate (tundra), a history so marked by recent disfiguration that we, today, seem to find comfort in the commodity of a readable catastrophe. Unlike several decades if not years ago (but what, now, is a “year”?), it is so easy to travel, to transfer oneself for brief episodes to distant points - which, in turn, appear woven, then, more firmly, as the mock-aura of a frontier of any sort recedes. What does it mean to write travel, today - and is not every genre of such invoked, every narrative twitch (anecdote, observation, description, rumination) mobilized, as obstacle, at the first rustling of intent?

   And whether pigs have wings.’
