1. Electronic Literature: New Horizons for the Literary

   Hayles’s book is designed to help electronic literature move into the classroom. Her systematic survey of the field addresses its major genres, the challenges it poses to traditional literary theory, and the complex and compelling issues at stake. She develops a theoretical framework for understanding how electronic literature both draws on the print tradition and requires new reading and interpretive strategies. Grounding her approach in the evolutionary dynamic between humans and technology, Hayles argues that neither the body nor the machine should be given absolute theoretical priority. Rather, she focuses on the interconnections between embodied writers and users and the intelligent machines that perform electronic texts.

2. Prehistoric Digital Poetry: An Archaeology of Forms, 1959-1995

   In this book, the author, Chris Funkhouser provides a comprehensive historical, descriptive, and technical account of early works of computer-assisted poetry composition. Focusing on examples of digital poetry before the world wide web rather than on literary precursors to web experiments. Funkhouser demonstrates how technological constraints that would seemingly limit the aesthetics of poetry have instead extended and enriched poetic discourse. As a history of early digital poetry and a record of an era that has passed, this study aspires both to influence poets working today and to highlight what the future of digital poetry may hold. The book is divided into five different sections: origination, visual and kinetic design poems, hypertext and hypermedia, alternative arrangements and techniques enabled.

3. Digital Literature: Theoretical and Aesthetic Reflections

   The emergence of a new phenomenon – digital literature – within the field of
   literary studies calls for the reorganization and creation of new theoretical and
   analytical repertoires. As models of communication change, so do
   reception and production processes accompanying these changes. Within these
   altered scenarios, the dissertation Digital Literature: Theoretical and Aesthetic
   Reflections is a response to the aesthetic and theoretical challenges brought on by
   computer-based literature. As a methodological strategy, the dissertation articulates
   recent trends in the theory of digital aesthetics – remediation (BOLTER),
   eventilization (HAYLES), correlations of performativity, intermediality and
   interactivity with meaning-driven analysis (SIMANOWSKI), Medienumbrüche
   (GENDOLLA & SCHÄFER) – with theories of production of presence
   (GUMBRECHT), autopoietic communicative models (LUHMANN) and closereadings
   of digital works. By scripting a dialogue with key theorists from print
   literary theory as well as new media theorists and artists in the burgeoning field,

4. Formalisation d’un modèle fonctionnel de communication à l’aide des technologies numériques appliqué à la création poétique

   This work develops a theoretical model of the communication which is established in e-poetry between an author and a reader by use of two computers. One is used to create the work and the other to read it. The files are transmitted with a CDROM.

   We make first a diachronic study of the field. It shows that conceptions gradually evolve. The study of visual forms shows that the mind representation of the system made by the actors are important in this communication.

   The model of linked text is purposed. The concept of text depends upon the global representation of the situation for each actor. This model is developed in cognitive and semiotic approaches. The notions of texte-à-voir, texte-écrit and texte-lu are introduced.

5. Archiving Roundtable

   Listed as one of the main themes of the Bergen 2015 ELO conference is the following question: is “electronic literature” a transitional term that will become obsolete as literary uses of computational media and devices become ubiquitous? If so, what comes after electronic literature?

   The notion of obsolescence has been a recurring issue in electronic literature since at least 2002, the date of the ELO Conference at UCLA. At that time, archiving became a general concern in the field. ELO responded with documents such as Born-Again Bits, Acid-Free Bits, and the ELC 1 and 2 Collections. Since that time, with the continual evolution of computational media and devices, the problems of archiving have continued to grow more complicated. The panel proposes to address issues of Archiving based on this re-wording of the conference theme: is electronic literature a transitional practice that will become obsolete as the multiplication of forms of both computational media and devices make literary artifacts more and more difficult to preserve?
