Aesthetics of Surface, Ephemeral and Re-Enchantment in Digital Literature: How Authors and Readers Deal with the Lability of the Electronic Device
Whenever the program of a work, created by an artist, is run by a computer, the digital device necessarily plays a role in its updating process: because of the operating systems, the software and the ever changing speed of computers, the digital device may sometimes affect the author’s artistic project, or even make it unreadable on screen. Thus, readers do not know what they should consider as part of the artist’s intentionality, and what they should ascribe to the unexpected changes made by the reading device of their personal computer. Critics who are in keeping with a hermeneutic approach may ascribe certain processes, actually caused by the machine, to the artist’s creativity. What is more, authors lose control over the evolution of their work and the many updates it undergoes. Thus, the “digital” artist is given four options when dealing with the lability of the electronic device, which will be described in this article by close readings of The Dreamlife of letters by Brian Kim Stefans, Revenances by Gregory Chatonsky and La Série des U by Philippe Bootz.

De la confirmation à la subversion: Les figures d’animation face aux conventions du discours numérique
Dans le domaine du discours numérique, le terme « figure » s’est rapidement imposé pour circonscrire certains phénomènes de sens émergeant du couplage entre le mouvement, la manipulation, et le texte ou l’image. Un transfert direct des figures linguistiques dans le domaine du discours numérique semble néanmoins problématique à cause de la nature pluricode de ces couplages. Dans cet article, nous nous concentrons sur le couplage texte / image – mouvement. Notre but est de compléter les approches existantes par une analyse sémio-rhétorique identifiant avec précision les procédés par lesquels les « figures d’animation » soulignent, confirment ou subvertissent les conventions du discours numérique.
