1. Literary Art in Digital Performance: Case Studies in New Media Art and Criticism

   Literary Art in Digital Performance examines electronic works of literary art, a category integrating the visual+textual including interactive poetry, narrative computer games, filmic sculpture, projective art, and other works specific to digital media. In recent decades, electronic art's aesthetic has been driven by new algorithmic, randomized, and emergent processes. Although this new art differs from material art or print literature, the rise of popular fascination with new media has neglected signifcant discussion of how technical mediation impacts contemporary art and literature. Presented as a collection of case studies by leading scholars, the book provides a contemporary optic on this art's forms, problems, and possibilities. Each case study is followed by a post-chapter dialogue where the editor engages authors on the foundational aesthetics of new media art and literature.

O livro reúne os textos produzidos no simpósio Acta Media III – Simpósio Internacional de Artemídia e Cultura Digital, que ocorreu não apenas no espaço físico e no tempo restrito das palestras e subsequentes debates, mas também nos domínios virtuais e nos tempos diferenciados de interlocução do ciberespaço. As palestras foram ministradas no auditório do MAC-USP, de setembro a dezembro de 2004, mas o processo virtual estendeu-se até março de 2005. A organização em livro, já prevista, ocorreu posteriormente e sua edição incorporou novos atores, com relevância no trabalho de design, tomando a cara gráfica do livro que ora lançamos.

5. A Cibercultura e seu Espelho: Campo de Conhecimento Emergente e Nova Vivência Humana (ABCiber Vol.1)

   This book brings together articles on core themes of the contemporary social, political, cultural, economic and technological scenario connected to the transnational phenomenon of cyberculture, the phase of post-industrial capitalism founded upon the media and interactive networks. The collection, which is divided into five thematic macrosections encompassing the areas of Communication, Information Science, Philosophy, Esthetics, Semiotics, Politics, Anthropology, Sociology and Arts. Its purpose is to shed light on the state of the art of cyberculture by addressing fundamental theoretical concepts of the times, such as post-mass culture and digital convergence, the issue of democracy and freedom, the vectors of space and time, quotidian life and its mediations, the imaginary, subjectivity and perception, the body and sociability, cognition and authorship, games, music and consumption, etc. Tying these themes together against the grain, most of the articles deal with and/or propose the deconstruction of the logic of modernity, of mass, and the rewriting of several of the aforementioned factors that derive mostly from this recent cultural heritage.

6. After the Digital Divide? German Aesthetic Theory in the Age of New Media

   The term "new media" is a current buzzword among scholars and in the media industry, referring to the ever-multiplying digitized modes of film/image and sound production and distribution. Yet how new, in fact, are these new media, and how does their rise affect the role of older media? What new theories allow us to examine our culture of ubiquitous electronic screens and networked pleasures? Is a completely new set of perspectives, concepts, and paradigms required, or are older modes of discussion about the relationship between technology and art still adequate? This book reconsiders the seminal work of German media theorists such as Adorno, Benjamin, and Kracauer in order to explore today's rapidly changing mediascape, questioning the naive progressivism that informs much of today's discourse about media technologies. The contributions, by internationally-recognized critics from a variety of academic fields, encourage a view of the history of media as structured by difference, complexity, and multiplicity. Together, they offer intriguing ways of understanding the changed position of media in today's Germany and beyond. Contributors: Nora M.

7. Metareference across Media: Theory and Case Studies

   'Strange as it may seem, Cervantes’s novel Don Quixote, Marc Forster’s film Stranger than Fiction, Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Pere Borrell del Caso’s painting “Escaping Criticism” reproduced on the cover of the present volume and Mozart’s sextet “A Musical Joke” all share one common feature: they include a meta-dimension. Metaization – the movement from a first cognitive, referential or communicative level to a higher one on which first-level phenomena self-reflexively become objects of reflection, reference and communication in their own right – is in fact a common feature not only of human thought and language but also of the arts and media in general. However, research into this issue has so far predominantly focussed on literature, where a highly differentiated, albeit strictly monomedial critical toolbox exists.
