1. Writing the Web with RiTa and Javascript

   This workshop presented a hands-on introduction to the RiTa.js toolkit
   It is a toolkit for digital literature designed to work natively
   in web browsers.

   RiTa.js is an easy-to-use natural language library that provides simple
   procedural tools for experimenting with digital literature. The philosophy behind
   the toolkit is to be as simple and intuitive as possible, while still providing
   adequate flexibility for more advanced users. RiTa.js is written in 100%
   JavaScript and runs natively in popular web browsers. It is both free and opensource.

2. Why ‘But is it e-lit?’ Is a Ridiculous Question: The Case for Online Journals as Organic, Evolving Works of Digital Literature

   Cordite Poetry Review, an Australian journal of poetry and poetics, was founded in 1997 as a print journal but since 2001 has appeared only online. Over the last ten years, as the magazine has grown in size and reach, the question of Cordite’s status as a journal has become more vexed. Can it be regarded as a ‘proper’ literary journal, in the way that other, offline journals are? Is it truly electronic, given the relative absence of works on the site that explore the possibilities of the online space? Or are these merely ridiculous questions, the posing of which reflects a pre-online hierarchy of prestige?

3. Performing the Digital Archive: Remediation, Emulation, Recreation

   The aim of ‘PO.EX '70-80: A Digital Archive of Portuguese Experimental Literature’ (http://po-ex.net/) is to represent the intermedia and performative textuality of a large corpus of experimental works and practices in an electronic database, including some early instances of digital literature. This paper shows how the performativity of digital archiving and recoding is explored through the remediation, emulation and recreation of works in the PO.EX archive. Preservation, classification and networked distribution are also discussed as editorial and representational problems within the current database aesthetics in knowledge production. (Project reference: PTDC/CLE-LLI/098270/2008).
