2. Would you let Mikhail Bakhtin smoke your text? : Dialogism and the Participative Rhetoric of Computer-mediated textual art

   In Stewart's presentation he will set out his theoretical understanding of computer-mediated textuality (an understanding that is derived from the dialogic philosophy of language described by Mikhail Bakhtin and others).

   In particular, he will report on how his research has identified a number of different rhetorical practices used by contemporary author-participants of computer-mediated textual art that focus on making readers actively aware of their participation in the work. He has classified these forms of rhetoric in the following ways:- 
   1. Active Participation of the Reader-Participant through Selection; 
   2. Active Participation of the Reader-Participant through Contribution; and
   3. Participation of the Reader-Participant by their Presence;

   Stewart will illustrate these three types of rhetoric, by drawing examples in the recent work of Simon Biggs, Talan Memmott, and Alan Sondheim, as well as from his own work 'gas' (developed at Textlab 2003).

   He will conclude by noting that a dialogic understanding of computer-mediated textuality flags up the significant cultural value of these works.

4. I Hold It Toward You: A Show of Hands

   "What is a book?" This is the question the text starts of with and the question the text circles around, exploring the material basis of reading and writing. Parallel to the theoretical examination and anecdotal reference to the history of the written word, the author positions a post-apocalyptic fiction about the last reader.

5. “Let my readers go”: Freedom, the ‘post-’, electronic ‘literature’

   What do Jeremy Hight’s Glacial, A Novel (whose content he has pledged to Tweet one word at a time every day between the November 2020 and June 2042), Anna Anthropy’s Queers in Love At the End of the World (a Twine romance unfolding at the eleventh minute before the apocalypse which readers are allowed to devour in just ten seconds), and Claire Dinsmore’s The Dazzle as Question (a hypermedia prose-poem about old-school artistry versus the onset of the digital with a penchant for blind(sid)ing its reader) all share in common? For one, they are narratives mediated by computer-hosted platforms and invested in wresting lection from their readers. For another, this paper will argue, they are examples of the post-literary according to a very specific and not strictly conventional definition.
