1. Sound Rites: Relationships Between Words and Sound in New Media Writing

   While discussion of the relationship of image and word has been prominent in the discourses
   surrounding new media writing, the role of sound is rarely addressed in this context, even
   though words are sounds and sounds are a major component of multimedia. This paper
   explores possibilities for new theoretical frameworks in this area, drawing on musico-literary
   discourse, intermedia theory and inter-cultural theory, and using ideas about semiotic and cultural exchange as a basis.

2. From Audio Black to Artful Noises: Looking at Sound in Electronic Literature

   The interplay between sound and image was a vexed issue for practioners and critics of the 20th century art screen art. As the story goes, some argued for a "complex interaction of sound with image" (Kahn 142) others for the political necessity of non-synchronized sound. Early on, "the dream" of "correlating sound and image" through localization (Altman) to deploy sound so as "to reinforce the reality effect" and to "induce[...] spectators to center their gaze." (Polet). There is a sense of disappointment in this trajectory, from the "talkie"to Dolby Surround, by which the sound track comes to maintenance of an illusionistic 3-dimensional visual space.

3. Eduardo: a Multimedia Story by a Swiss Army Knife Journalist

   One thing that cannot be denied is that whereas there have been countless online publications before the world wide web, it has been the late development of the web that transformed communication patterns and, particularly information textuality and the journalistic arena. Among profound and unceasing changes, one can stand out the online versions of traditional media outlets, but obviously the originally online stories, created to be experienced as multimedia journalistic pieces. It is within this field that Eduardo’s story belongs, in the piece “O que é isso de vida independente” [What is that of an independent life?] by the Portuguese multimedia journalist Vera Moutinho. In this paper, I will explore Eduardo’s story, which elects the visual and sound plasticity as drivers of the reading experience, to examine how significance is built across multiple media and unfolds undertones throughout each moment.
