1. Writing Machines

   Tracing a journey from the 1950s through the 1990s, N. Katherine Hayles uses the autobiographical persona of Kaye to explore how literature has transformed itself from inscriptions rendered as the flat durable marks of print to the dynamic images of CRT screens, from verbal texts to the diverse sensory modalities of multimedia works, from books to technotexts.

2. Cognitive Fictions

   The first comprehensive look at the effect of new technologies on contemporary American fiction. Bringing together cognitive science and literary analysis to map a new "media ecology," Cognitive Fictions limns an evolutionary process in which literature must find its place in an artificial environment partly produced and thoroughly mediated by technological means. Joseph Tabbi provides a penetrating account of a developing consciousness emerging from the struggle between print and electronic systems of communication. Central to Tabbi's work is the relation between the arrangement of communicating "modules" that cognitive science uses to describe the human mind and the arrangement of visual, verbal, and aural media in our technological culture. He looks at particular literary works by Thomas Pynchon, Richard Powers, David Markson, Lynne Tillman, Paul Auster, and others as both inscriptions of thought consistent with distributed cognitive models, and as self-creations out of the media environment.

3. Literatur auf dem Rechner

   Die Diskussion über computergestützte Literatur verliert sich überwiegend in den Extremen euphorischer Reaktionen und dogmatischer Ablehnung. Bei genauerer Betrachtung erschließt sich jedoch ein weites und differenziertes Feld der Unterschiede und Ähnlichkeiten »buchförmiger« und »elektronischer« Literatur. Gegenstand der Arbeit sind nicht allein »Internetliteratur« und CD-ROM sondern auch die interaktiven literarischen Formen wie Textadventures und Chatterbots. Für die Entfaltung und Strukturierung dieses Feldes werden anhand der (informatischen) Grundfunktionen des Speicherns, Übertragens und Prozessierens von Zeichenketten die (literaturwissenschaftlichen) Grundlagen hinsichtlich der Medientechnik, formalen Beschreibung und theoretischen Ansätze gelegt.

5. Of Two Minds: Hypertext Pedagogy and Poetics

   In Of Two Minds, noted hypertext novelist and writing teacher Michael Joyce explores the new technologies, mediums, and modalities for teaching and writing, ranging from interactive multimedia to virtual reality. As author of Afternoon: A Story, which the New York Times Book Review termed "the most widely read, quoted, and critiqued of all hypertext narratives," and co-developer of Storyspace, an innovative hypertext software acclaimed for offering new kinds of artistic expression, he is uniquely well qualified to explore this stimulating topic. The essays comprise what Joyce calls "theoretical narratives," woven from e-mail messages, hypertext "nodes," and other kinds of electronic text that move nomadically from one occasion or perspective to another, between the poles of art and instruction , teaching and writing. The nomadic movement of ideas is made effortless by the electronic medium, which makes it easy to cross borders (or erase them) with the swipe of a mouse, and which therefore challenges our notions of intellectual and artistic borders.
