2. The New Place of Reading: Locative Media and the Future of Narrative

   Locative technologies hold out the promise to transform literary space in all of its dimensions, including its represented spaces, reading interfaces, and the very spaces within which literature is produced and consumed. Yet, despite the growing use of location-based technologies, authors and readers alike have been slow to take to site-specific narrative due to limitations inherent in both the current design of locative media systems and our received notions of what constitutes the narrative experience.

4. 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,

5. Cicatrix: Pain, Sex, and Dying in E-Literature

   This panel will deal with the relationship between extreme affect and electronic literature: How are pain, sex, and death _embodied_ in E-lit, virtual worlds, and textuality so that the abstract, for the reader, performer, or user, becomes empathetically embodied within hir? In other words, how can the skipping/skimming, which characterize the Net, be delayed, so that an actuality of politics and the body emerges? This panel will explore this and related issues.

6. Quantum Feminist Mnemotechnics: The Archival Text, Digital Narrative and The Limits of Memory

   New technologies-- whether used for artistic or scientific ends--require new shapes to speak their attributes. Feminist writers too have long sought a narrative shape that can exist both inside and outside of patriarchal systems. Where like-minded theorists have tried to define a gender-specific dimension for art, Quantum Feminist Mnemotechnics demonstrates that feminist artists have already built and are happily inhabiting this new technological room of their own. This dissertation is an exploration of the architectural shapes of mnemonic systems in women's narratives in the new media (focusing on Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl, M.D. Coverley's Califia and Diana Reed Slattery's Glide and The Maze Game as exemplary models). Memory is key here, for, what gets stored or remembered has always been the domain of official histories, of the conqueror speaking his dominant cultural paradigm and body. I explore at length three spatial architectures of the new media: the matrix, the unfold and the knot.

8. Embodied Algorithms: On Space and Mobility as Structural Metaphors

   This short paper proposes the concept of "embodied algorithms" to describe the use of models borrowed or derived from other disciplines as structural metaphors in works of art. The models may originate in fields as diverse as phenomenology, linguistics, or computer science, and while they may not themselves be computational or procedural, their cross-disciplinary/cross-modal implementation imbues them with a symbolic dimension that suggests a hermeneutical methodology (hence, “algorithm”) for constructing interpretive narratives. The paper examines the constitutive role played by space and mobility in interpreting a series of the author’s own artworks. For the sake of brevity, it focuses primarily on a single interpretive model derived from the writing of phenomenologist Georg Gadamer, and relates it to a number of digital models, or algorithms, employed in the works.
