1. Conditions of Presence: The Topology of Network Narratives

   The development of the cultural field of electronic literature faces significant challenges today. As everyday network communication practices and habits of media consumption change, they impose expectations on how narratives are expressed, experienced and interacted with by readers and users. These expectations produce an imperative to accommodate additive and emergent participation processes that influence how narratives are structured. It is increasingly important to strike a balance between authorial agency and user generated content, between the core creative vision of a cultural creator and the contributions of casual participants, between narrative coherence and improvisational interactions. Resolving these antinomies is crucial in order for the field of electronic literature to support both the development of popular digital fiction and a continuing tradition of experimental literature.

2. Murmurs, Open Corpus of Online Written Poetry – The End of Isolated Poems

   Murmurs seeks to gather and link texts written with a poetic intention and available in the net in order to present them in a consistent form within the outline of a hypertext. These texts will be identified by an algorithm and interconnected through semantic links generated with the use of coincident words.

   Thanks to this process, the texts with poetic format, already published online, will become a sole extensive and surfable piece that can be analyzed and can receive feedback from blogs, twits, and by any other indexable means. This way we seek to generate a piece of e-poetry by uniting those expressive texts in the net that cannot individually be classified as e-poetry. In order to achieve this we will use algorithmic processes, databases, crawlers for indexing, Big Data analysis, all presented as self-generated hypertexts.

   The study of these texts through systems of computer linguistics will allow finding coincidences in the use of language with expressive intentions in the net. In a second moment, an API (application programming interface) will open and allow the free processing of the information gathered.

3. Machine Network Reading

   This paper will analyse Cayley and Howe’s project in order to discuss how reading and writing is configured by Google’s network machine. It will address Google as a primary example of a new interface industry and besides describing how it reads and writes us as readers, it will discuss whether and how we can read it. If Google (…) instrumentalizes and capitalises language as an interface industry, how can we read and write, what can we read and write and on which terms?

4. HYPER-LEX: A Technographical Dictionary

   Paul Harris hybridizes the terms of hypertextual discourse and takes it to a higher power.

   The spirit or at least pervasive desire of our age revolves around a sort of transparency: a desire to project ourselves as a surface of permeable traces, to exfoliate, let the inside become the outside, to become fully visible like the meat and bones of a Cronenberg character, while remaining invisible like the little hacker ghost (Turing’s Demon?) that tracks text in the Random Access Memory banks of the machine onto whose screen we splash words. In large part, the attractive force that transparency exerts is an effect of media culture; simultaneously, however, transparency marks a limit of im-mediacy - an unmediated, collapsed sensation where we can see the neurophysiology of our brains or the shapes of and linkages among our words. This is an immediacy of the sensory that never shades into the tactile - it is rather the immediacy of sensing the medium itself, of clicking tracks around the computer screen or dredging up hidden treasures on the Netscape of our lives.

5. Tending the Garden Plot: Victory Garden and Operation Enduring...

   Dave Ciccoricco returns to Stuart Moulthrop, considers Operation Enduring Freedom (2003) in light of Operation Desert Storm (1991), and consults the annals of World War II for a likely source of “Victory Garden,” the title of Moulthrop’s 1991 network fiction on the Gulf War.

6. La palabra en las periferias de la tecnología

   La aparición de nuevas tecnologías y su crecimiento exponencial desde hace varias décadas ha cambiado nuestra manera de entender el conocimiento. Aunque ya es un tema que forma parte del background contemporáneo, no está de más recordar que la cultura digital y las posibilidades de internet han supuesto un cambio radical, solo comparable, según Alejandro Baricco, a la revolución de la imprenta. La incorporación de la red y de los recursos transmedia al entorno literario está propiciando nuevas poéticas; nuevas formas de textualidad que, según Joan-Elies Adell, desbordan el libro y convierten el ordenador o cualquier dispositivo móvil en el espacio natural de la obra. Hipertexto, interacción, videojuego… La esencia misma de la literatura está mutando. Escritores que piensan la palabra de forma conjunta al código HTML, a la geolocalización, al processing u otras herramientas de programación. Con sus creaciones vienen a expulsarnos de nuestras áreas de confort literario. Hablamos de trabajos pensados para la red, ese nuevo ágora. Hablamos de obras hipermedia que, frente a la oralidad o la tradición impresa, investigan dentro de lo que Ernesto Zapata define como electronalidad.
