1. In Praise of "In Praise of Overreading"

   Is ‘overinterpretation’ good or bad? Is it even possible, and is it ever enough? (Or are we reading too much into this?) Clint Burnham shadows Colin Davis as he traces the interventions of a “wild bunch” of critics, theorists, and philosophers, who grapple with the question of what counts as a reading of a literary text.

8. Chinese Literature's Transformation and Digital Existence in the New Century

   The reform ignited by digital media provided strong impetus to literary transformation at the turn of century in China. The market‐led rise of online literature has destroyed the balance of traditional literature and resulted in a fundamental digital readjustment of the overall literary structure. The fourth medium, with its irresistible technological force, has led to a large‐scale literary shift towards “being digital,” thereby changing literary traditions of existence and expression. Such being the case, we need to clarify digital media's dual function of “deconstruction” and “construction” in this literary shift so as to input new ideas from a different academic perspective into literary theory of the digital era, turn digital media's challenge to tradition into a chance for literary innovation and make the new media into a powerful driving force and effective resource for Chinese literature in the new century.

10. 'Living Letterforms': The Ecological Turn in Contemporary Digital Poetics

    In this keynote for the Digital Poetics and the Present seminar, RIta Raley offers a reading of David Jhave Johnston's Sooth, a cycle of six video poems, where the reader's clicks draw out lines of poems superimposed on video that drifts around a natural scene. Raley argues that Sooth is emblematic of a recent shift in digital poetry towards a concern with ecology, where non-human actors are animate and lively. She describes this as a step away from the intense focus on the code, the technical and computational processes that dominated digital poetry at the start of the last decade. Jhave's project, Rita Raley argues, is to create digital poems that respond as though they are animate, alive. This isn't about artificial intelligence or simply about emulating life but about prompting (in us, the readers) an embodied recognition of life.
