1. Disguised Tales: A Masqueraded Complexity in Children's Electronic Literature

   This paper explores what I define as a “masqueraded complexity”, a term that refers to the way
   children’s electronic literature disguises its multiple features to a formative reader (the child/young adult) in order to maintain/assert the whole range of semiotic and narratological creative approaches allowed in this new literary scenario. The paper paper also examines the lights and shadows of children's digital literature's inherent properties from an educational perspective. To support this exploration, I combine theoretical approaches to digital literature (Ryan, Murray, Hayles, Landow, etc.), the exploration of the digital literature landscape for youngsters and recent studies on children's literary education (Chambers, Colomer, Tauveron etc.). Some of my own research group ongoing case studies with real young digital readers will also be used to illustrate the outcomes.
   Despite its obvious heterogeneity, electronic literature presents a series of common complexities

2. Text Under Glass: The Place of Writing within Interactive Objects

   This presentation explores the theoretical implications of the ways in which text is used within
   interactive glass objects. As car windshields, kitchen counters, bathroom mirrors, restaurant
   tabletops, and other glass surfaces are increasingly wired to respond to human touch, how does
   this change our perception of the text housed therein and what stories does this text tell us about
   the state of interactive objects?
