1. Yan Zheng

   Yan Zheng is a PhD student from the University of Glasgow. Her research investigates the narrative strategies of story apps for children. She questions how the mechanism of storytelling works and what impact such mechanism may have on the reception and perception of the story. She is interested in different affordances of different media concerning storytelling, and also the similarities of storytelling on different platforms. Yan has an MPhil degree on children’s literature from the University of Cambridge in 2012 when she started to have great interest in stories told in picture book format. In 2014, Yan worked with a French digital publisher in developing a story app, The Great Ghost Chase. Yan also tests apps for Nosy Crow, a British independent children’s publisher. Currently she is doing her PhD research in distance in Cambridge MA in the United States. (Source: author's bio ICDMT 2016)

2. 80 days: Breaking the Boundaries between Video Games and Literature

   “Moveable books” predate the printing press. Such experiments, including popular pop-up books of the nineteenth century, pushed against the boundaries of two-dimensional storytelling by crafting ways paper can mechanically foster motion and depth. iPad artists and game designers experiment with device-specific expressive capacities. I call moveable books designed for iPad “playable books” to invoke their ergodic filiation with videogames. In this presentation, I analyze one playable book, 80 Days (2014) by Inkle Studios, which won Time Magazine’s best game of the year and was named by The Telegraph a best novel of the year. Crossing the “border” between literature and videogames, 80 Days invites us to consider how popular modes of human/computer interaction in games shape new forms of reading in device-specific ways. I discuss how 80 Days’ gameful attributes adapt and contest Jules Verne’s 1873 novella Around the World in Eighty Days. The game gives the reader a physical experience of the original story’s chief mechanic, racing to beat the clock.

4. Poétique des oeuvres hypermédiatiques dans un corpus d'adaptations de littérature pour la jeunesse

   Par l’analyse d’un corpus d’adaptations de textes classiques et contemporains, l’article interroge l’hypothèse d’une poétique des œuvres hypermédiatiques, fondée sur les caractéristiques qui les constituent : leurs matières textuelles composites (et non exclusivement verbales), l’organisation des espaces de l’écran, la gestion de la page, les animations et l’interactivité.
