1. Towards the Recognition of the Shell as an Integral Part of the Digital Text

   Although the theory of hypertext fiction does not regard the Shell as a text, writers of digital fiction, have long started to blurr the boundaries between the Reader and the “main” text. Both interpreters of (fictional) hypertexts and pt-ogrammers of hypertext-environments need to acknowledge this fact in order to accomodate current wrltlng practices.

2. Approaching the Real: Materiality in Digital Literature

   Digital literature foregrounds its own medium, and it foregrounds the graphic, material aspects of language. Experiments with the new medium and with the form of language are generally presented and interpreted within a framework of the historical avant-garde or the neo-avantgarde. This paper aims to take a new perspective on the emerging digital materiality of language.
   The analysis of the work of work that use digitalized handwriting or graffiti-like drawing (for example in Jason Nelson, the digital artist of hybrid works between games, literature and video) leads to the conclusion that the effect of this materiality is an ambivalent relation to affect, reality and the body.
   In other words: an ‘absent presence’ is foregrounded. The paradoxical and spectral merging of presence and absence makes these forms of digital literature an expression of a specifically late postmodernist stance towards representation of the ‘real’. Complicity with the media-culture goes hand in hand with an ironic approach of the mediatedness of the world and the body.

4. Mapping the Convergence of Networked Digital Literature and Net Art onto the Modes of Production

   In this paper I argue that the restrictions imposed by technological barriers within select forms of digital literature and net art are cause for the success of these works from the early internet to the present—the technological restrictions themselves guided their formulation. Arguably, the
   constraints create the aesthetic context in which the works thrive, while the artist figure
   transforms into mechanical producer.

5. Posthumanism and Electronic Literature

   Posthumanism, according to Cary Wolfe, "names a historical moment in which the decentering of the human by its imbrication in technical, medical, informatic, and economic networks is increasingly impossible to ignore" (xv-xvi). This conference paper brings the framework of posthumanist philosophy to bear on the field of electronic literature, at a critical moment in time wherein our conception of the human, and of literature, are fundamentally questioned through digital technology. I argue that humanist philosophy is explicitly tied to the rise of print literature, via Elizabeth Eisenstein (1979), while posthumanism is linked with digital media (Wolfe 2010) and, by extension, electronic literature. Furthermore, posthumanism interrogates assumptions of autonomy and subjectivity inherited from humanism, and via cybernetics articulates an image of the human as another information-processing machine. Electronic literature's reliance and amalgamation of natural and artificial languages (most noticeable in “codework”) reflects the posthumanist critique of the supposed binaries between human and machine.

6. The tensions of digital literature

   Les tensions de la littérature numérique

   La littérature numérique repose sur des tensions qui contribuent à asseoir sa spécificité : tension des supports, de l’écriture programmée, des médias, de l’expérience esthétique. Le terme tension ne signifie pas forcément conflit, mais suggère qu’il y a des évidences déconstruites des deux côtés. Ce peut être une tension créatrice.

   - Tension des supports
   La LN met en tension des formes culturelles, littéraires et artistiques héritées de l’imprimé et des formes nées avec le numérique. La tension des supports ne concerne pas seulement la tension entre support numérique et support imprimé, mais également la tension entre les différents supports de restitution (pouvant correspondre par exemple à tout un dispositif de monstration dans le cadre d’une installation ou d’une performance).

7. WYSIWYG and WYSIWII: the Materiality of Digital Literature.

   In this paper, I depart from the notion of digital literature trying to look beyond the linguistic layer of digitability as proposed by Simanovski (2010). Thus, the main goal of my discussion is to face some specific problems regarding both theoretical and instructional perceptions of digital literature: the creative process, the technological conditions and software limits in the production of a media art object, and the literary materialities digitally present. To demonstrate how these constructs and circumstances affect the production and the reception of an object perceived as literary and digital from its planning, I will propose a challenging reading of O Cosmonauta by Alckmar dos Santos and Wilton Azevedo.
