2. E-Lit in the Gutter: Applying McCloud's Transition Categories to Interactive Fiction

   This is a speech by Ted Fordyce concerning the Scott McCloud’s "Understanding Comics" book.

   The book is about symbolic and iconic representation, the relationship between word and image and the illustration of time. Ted Fordyce thinks it is really helpful for the digital works' interpretation.

   The main point is the McCloud’s discussion of the gutter to link-oriented electronic literature: his thought is that the gutter is the result of the author + reader collaboration. There are six different transitions: in each of them, the author determines the type and the reader is the one who provides interpretations. 

   In conclusion, Ted Fordyce thinks that the McCloud’s discussion «provides us with a useful set of tools as both creators and readers of interactive fiction».

3. Electronic Literature as Paratextual Construction

   The following discussion aims to reflect on how electronic literature and affiliated or related fields describe themselves paratextually. I will argue that the social construction of ‘electronic literature’ is dominated by its systemic self-description. The paratextual construction basically works with the ascription of the genre name ‘electronic literature’ and discursive descriptions or reflections to phenomena of artistic practice and has been institutionalized in no small part by the Electronic Literature Organization. The argument is developed by observing paratextual practices in founding narratives, archives and collections related to the ELO. This perspective is contextualized by looking at self-descriptions in the pre-history of e-lit within the artistic program of poietic experimentation.
