1. From Concrete to Digital: The Reconceptualization of Poetic Space

   It has almost become self-evident in the critical discourse on digital poetry to assess digital poetry as a continuation of an experimental tradition with its origins in the historical and the neo-avant-garde. Critics such as Friedrich W. Block and Roberto Simanowski in particular read contemporary digital poetry explicitly as extension and continuation of concerns of the avant-garde and concrete poets.

   Block points out that almost all vital concerns of digital poetry can be traced back to its historical predecessors. He names the reflection upon the concrete language material, the transgression of genre boundaries, multilinearity and the exploration of spatial structures, movement and interactivity as key strategies which are vital concepts in historical avant-garde, concrete and digital poetry. Digital poetry is frequently, and I believe correctly, assigned to the wider trajectory of experimental/avant-garde poetry in many other studies as well. It is often considered as a third stage, contemporary continuation and further development of earlier experiments.

3. The Reader, the Player and the Executable Poetics: Towards a Literature Beyond the Book

   Giselle Beiguelman underlines that it is essential to be aware of the historical continuities as well as of the discontinuities that materialize in electronic literature or art. This is particularly true in Brazil where multimedia poets combine videotext and video with their texts.The essay deals both with these historical continueties and more recent trends exhibited in a number of recent works of electronic literature.

5. Concrete Poetry in Portugal Experimentalism and Intermediality

   Concrete poetry does not constitute an organized movement in Portugal. Instead, one must consider a range of contemporary Portuguese poetic experimentations achieved by several poets which come close, at a given point in time, to the aesthetics of concretism. This distinctive feature of the Portuguese context is outlined in this article in a comparative perspective, situating the poetics and politics of experimentalism within the international context of concrete poetry, but stressing specific aspects of the critical, historical and political Portuguese context. At the same time, the concrete tendency of experimental poetry points to the importance of literary and communication theories, as semiotics, information theory, and others provide background to understanding individual poems and manifestoes of the poets mentioned within. Finally, the article takes into consideration the fact that concrete poetry fits in larger poetic discourses, ultimately forcing the importance of poetic discourse and literary practices for a better understanding of our surrounding world and culture.

7. A Cross-Medial Close Reading of Swedish Digital Poetry

   In the work with my thesis on digital poetry I aim to highlight the following three axes

   1) A theoretical reflection considering language in interaction with the visual and auditory modalities as well as an investigation of the relation between language and technical media, using theorists such as N. Katherine Hayles and Friedrich A. Kittler.

   2) An analytical, methodical approach, which investigates digital works of poetry and their intermedial relations and effects of meaning.

   3) Putting into perspective the historical concrete poetry and avant-garde movements – primarily from Scandinavia.
