1. Vers de nouvelles formes en poésie numérique programmée?

   In English:

   I intend to illustrate some programmed forms among the most representative one of the
   digital poetry of today. They use two important features of the digital medium: dual performative
   signs and a semiotic gap between the author and the reader.

   Bootz Philippe. "About some programmed forms in e-poetry". Conference paper. EPC, SUNY Buffalo, 2006.

   In French:

   Cet article réalise une synthèse de mes travaux récents et propose, pour l’analyse des formes programmées, de nouveaux critères complémentaires de ceux proposés par ailleurs. La notion de forme programmée se dégage peu à peu des genres apparus en poésie numérique dans les années quatre-vingts Nous discutons les concepts à l’œuvre dans ces formes en insistant sur ceux de technotexte et d’intermédia. Ayant dégagé des axes analytiques performatif, lectoriel et instrumental, nous proposons et classifions quelques formes programmées.

2. Scripting Writing and Reading in Jim Andrews's Digital Poems

   The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the theoretical relevance of kinetic poetry for studying the interaction between language, digital media, and signifying processes. Several writers have been using digital poetry to investigate meaning production as a function of formal operations upon linguistic, computational, and other cultural codes. Interactive kinaesthesia, the main algorithmic trope examined here, enacts the temporality of writing and the temporality of reading in medium-specific forms and genres that call attention to the way their machine and human processing happens. The cinematic enactment of time in the combined motions of computer-executed code and human-activated display will be seen in digital poems by Jim Andrews. His scripts are analysed as models for specific semiotic and interpretive processes. Computer performance and reader performance become co-dependent and intertwined as an entangled field.

5. Gestural Manipulation and Digital Poetics

   Presents a semiotics of gestures, using many examples from online advertising and electronic literature. The act of clicking is in itself an act of interpretation in these works.

6. Reader/Readers

   The paper will present a percepto-cognitive theory of e-poetry. This theory uses a non-ontologic approach of literature in which the concept of "text" cannot be defined independendly from the mind representation for the system. This conception, named "theorie du texte lié à une profondeur" (theory of text linked to a deep) will be present. In this theory, the main concepts are the mind representation of the system, named the "profondeur de dispositif" (system-deep), and the set of elements which can be perceived as a classical text. This set is named the "texte-à-voir" (text-to-be-seen). The system-deep which seems to govern the real behaviour of the system in e-literature is named the procedural archetype. The paper will present the main caracteristic features of it, specially the particular position of the reader. The most important features relative to the reading are the "double reading" and the "aesthetics of frustration": to construct the sense of a work, the reader "has to read his reading", even if the work is non-interactive. This particularity is named "double reading".

7. 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
