1. Digital Poetics or On the Evolution of Experimental Media Poetry

   The academic and literature critical discussion on new media poetry or about digital texts swings to and fro, in method and conception between two poles: one is the 'work immanent' approach of structure description and classification, and the other the deduction of abstract media esthetics. At a tangent to this the communication on media, culture and media art has been more or less committed to the priority of technological reasoning since the nineties at the latest. The concern with technology remains a dilemma: Technology has to be taken into account when dealing with concrete structure analyses of works of digital poetry, but some traps lie in wait. Is the knowledge accounted for here really sufficient? I would say that few of those taking part in the discussion who do not actually work in the specific area artistically are capable of programming digital texts (the same may be said of some artists). Another problem is something I have casually termed a new techno-ontology: a ‘cold fascination’ for technological being (also of texts), which flares up briefly with each innovation pressing for the market in the respective field.

2. Multimediality, Intermediality, and Medially Complex Digital Poetry

   In Grammophone, Film, Typewriter, Friedrich Kittler envisioned a digital future of demediation: all traditional differences between media and mediations would be ended in a fusion of digital numbers. Kittler’s vision, I argue in my paper, is premediated by Richard Wagner’s artwork of the future: despite their differences, both stage the dream of a multimedial future in which monomediality or medial compartmentalization is effectively aufgehoben. This idea of premediation is further explored by comparing Wagner’s music drama’s to digital multimedia works and events of the 1990’s and early years of our twenty-first century that try to fuse words, bodily gestures, sounds, and images.

3. Digital Literature: Theoretical and Aesthetic Reflections

   The emergence of a new phenomenon – digital literature – within the field of
   literary studies calls for the reorganization and creation of new theoretical and
   analytical repertoires. As models of communication change, so do
   reception and production processes accompanying these changes. Within these
   altered scenarios, the dissertation Digital Literature: Theoretical and Aesthetic
   Reflections is a response to the aesthetic and theoretical challenges brought on by
   computer-based literature. As a methodological strategy, the dissertation articulates
   recent trends in the theory of digital aesthetics – remediation (BOLTER),
   eventilization (HAYLES), correlations of performativity, intermediality and
   interactivity with meaning-driven analysis (SIMANOWSKI), Medienumbrüche
   (GENDOLLA & SCHÄFER) – with theories of production of presence
   (GUMBRECHT), autopoietic communicative models (LUHMANN) and closereadings
   of digital works. By scripting a dialogue with key theorists from print
   literary theory as well as new media theorists and artists in the burgeoning field,

4. Transient Self-Portrait

   Transient self–portrait is an artistic research project with the aim of creating an interactive piece.
   I take as the point of departure two pivotal sonnets in Spanish literature that are normally studied
   alongside each other, En tanto que de rosa y azucena by Garcilaso de La Vega, a 16th Century
   Spanish poet, using Italian Renaissance verse forms and Mientras por competir con tu cabello by
   Luís de Gongora, a 17th Century Spanish poet from the Baroque period. Gongora’s sonnet is a
   homage to Garcilaso’s and the styles and the cultural aspects that appear on the sonnets are very
   different reflecting the attitudes from the Renaissance and the Baroque.

5. Písanie v interaktívnych médiách. Digitálna fikcia /Writing in the Interactive Media. Digital Fiction

   The subject of the thesis is to introduce and contextualise the possibilities of writing in the interactive media as well as to study the literary art of interactive media in the Anglophone area. One of the attributes of the contemporary art pieces of interactive media is their intermedial character; the authors often link text, image and sound to introduce the fictional world. The aim of the thesis is on one hand to refer to the questions that are not new but have appeared in new circumstances due to the digital format and internet and on the other hand to refer to the questions typical for the digital fiction research. The research concentrates on the digital fiction – a digital piece written in a computer programme, in which the author offers a fictional world. The thesis addresses several aspects of digital fiction, whose combination indicates its characteristic status within the group of digital art – fragmentarity of narrative, multilinearity, interactivity, performativity, dynamics, intermediality and the principles of game and play.

6. Le récit littéraire interactif. Narrativité et interactivité

   The expression interactive literary narrative applies to a variety of works. In its diversity, the
   interactive literary narrative raises questions on narratives, interactive architecture, multimedia as
   well as on literature. It is because the interactive literary narrative is wrought by tensions that it has
   this questioning and maybe even revealing capacity. This tension is first and foremost that which lies between narrativity and interactivity and which investigates other connections or tensions :
   - with regards to the narrative, the tension between adherence and distance can be characterized by a play on fictionalization and reflexivity;
   - with regards to the interactive architecture, the tension between assistance and control roles can
   manifest itself by a play on loss of grasp,
   - with regards to the multimedia, the tension between a text-based narrative and a multimedia
   narrative can be reached by work on text as a dynamic and polysemiotic object, and also the
   theatralization of interactive objects endowed with behaviour,

7. Barroquismos Digitais

   Existe um barroquismo nas criações poética digitais contemporâneas. Seria este um barroquismo de arte e engenho no modo de as obras operarem e no modo de se relacionar com o mundo digital daquele que cria e daquele que o usufrui. Barroquismo na maneira de se dar ao mundo da obra digital, na similaridade com o modo de ser das obras barrocas, considerando três características: materialidade da obra enquanto doadora de sentido, multimidialidade da obra e a interatividade entre obra e fruidor. Este artigo se propõe a apontar para esse barroquismo e certo continuum barroco na literatura digital.
