2. Stitching Together Narrative, Sexuality, Self: Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl

   Landow, who praises Patchwork Girl as "the finest hypertext fiction thus far to have appeared," appreciates Jackson's mastery of hypertextual collage, which reveals, he suggests, how analogous techniques are at play when we conceptualize our gendered identities.   (Source: Eric Dean Rasmussen)

7. Humor — Technology — Gender, Digital Language Art and Diabolic Poetics

   This essay argues that the poetic turn from nothing to form art tends to “diabolic”
   strategies in present language allowing for a self-referential presentation of cultural distinctions.
   This poetic deconstruction of symbolic forms such as man/machine, male/female,
   or 0/1 is closely related to humor and gender in cultural and artistic performances.
   This shall be illustrated by discussing two examples of language art in the fi eld of digital
   electronics: the interactive installation Die Amme by Peter Dittmer and female extension, a
   subversive net art project by Cornelia Sollfrank. These projects are interpreted as gendered
   forms of the poetic as comic self-observation.

8. Autofiction on Screen: Self-representation of an Egyptian ‘Spinster’ in a Literary Blog

   In this paper the blog Yawmiyyat 3nis [Diary of a Spinster] written by the Egyptian 3Abeer Sulayman [Abeer Soliman] is conceived as a form of autofiction. In fact, two aspects of online writing are of great importance for Egyptian bloggers. Firstly, blogging has given the Egyptian young people the possibility of sharing their innermost feelings and daily frustration without the fear of identification and humiliation due to their relative anonymity. Secondly, the computer operates as a projective device that allows users to discover and create different versions of themselves (Sorapure, 2003). Thus, blog writing facilitates autobiographic writing but at the same time turns daily life into fiction. The analysis of Abeer Soliman’s blog aims to show how the computer has an impact on the way diaries are written. On a structural level, I will highlight the presence of distinct literary features that are enhanced by the medium: the use of visual/audio components, the interaction with readers, and the presence of links. All these elements are essential for the understanding of Abeer’s self-representation.

9. I, Chatbot: The Gender and Race Performativity of Conversational Agents

   Amidst the various forms of electronic literature stands a class of interactive programs that simulates human conversation. A chatbot, or chatterbot, is a program with which users can “speak,” typically by exchanging text through an instant-messaging style interface. Chatbots have been therapists, Web site hosts, language instructors, and even performers in interactive narratives. Over the past ten years, they have proliferated across the Internet, despite being based on a technology that predates the Web by thirty years. In my readings, these chatbots are synedochic of the process by which networked identities form on the Internet within the power dynamics of hegemonic masculinity. Chatbots, in this light, model the collaborative performance humans enact on electronically-mediated networks.

10. Reading and Teaching Gender Issues in Electronic Literature and New Media Art

    This dissertation has as its object of research new feminist hypermedia and it is located in the fields of hypertext theory, gender studies, and semiotics. This work offers close-readings of three recent feminist hypertext fictions written in English language exploring the problematics of gender, sexuality and multiple identities: Dollspace (1997-2001) by Francesca da Rimini, Brandon (1998) by Shu Lea Cheang and Blueberries (2009) by Susan Gibb. The aim of the study is, in the first place, show how feminist hypertext fictions can be analysed: categorising the work, interpreting its nodes and lexias, emphasizing the cultural references it evokes and studying the readers’ reactions to the hypertext. And in the second place, promote the study of electronic literature as a useful tool for literature courses as well as to demonstrate the beneficial aspects of hypertexts to work with gender studies literature.
