3. Is Life Like a Book or a Smart Phone? Why Form in Fiction Matters

   Rob Wittig's 17 minute video lecture, recorded for a TEDx event at the University of Minnesota / Duluth, lays out some ideas about connections between the design of printed books and a particular idea of life in contemporary culture, in contrast to a model of life based on postmodern ideas of identity. He also references the context of literary history in considering the forms of literature that might be suited to a culture of multitasking and smart phones, at one point comparing Don Quixote to a contemporary gadget-obsessed digital native. The talk and accompanying slideshow provide a useful introduction to some important questions about the relationship between contemporary technologies and literary form.

8. All Together Now: Collective Knowledge, Collective. Narratives, and Architectures of Participation

   This essay is an exploration of the history and methodologies of collective narrative projects, and their relationship to collective knowledge projects and methodologies. By examining different forms of conscious, contributory, and unwitting participation, the essay attempts to develop a richer understanding of successful large-scale collaborative projects. The essay then examines large-scale architectures of participation in Wikipedia and Flickr to extrapolate from those observations potential methodologies for the creation of collective narratives.

9. Polyaesthetics in Digital Literary Arts: Steve Tomasula's TOC and Multimedia Fiction

   The paper discusses Tomasula's digital fiction TOC as part of a group of contemporary literary works that mirror ongoing cultural, aesthetic and technical transformations. As a part of what the author discusses as the condition of polyaesthetics in contemporary arts, TOC and similar works challenge readers to engage in multiple modes of reading practices. The works are characterized by tensions and creative production across media forms, conventions, and cultural contexts of digital and printed works.

10. Walk This Way: Mobile Narrative as Composed Experience

    Raley examines mobile narratives, contrasting narratives that are simply narratives that are delivered to mobile phones, such as Japanese cell phone novels, with narrative experiences that are specific to their medial situation. That is "narrative that emphasizes the exploration of place and locality but is not strictly annotative." Rayley identifies three key terms of GPS and SMS-based narrative practice: experience, movement, and environment. Rita sees the participant in a mobile narrative as playing a function in the Nelsonian hypertext sense of branching, "performing on request." Having established a categorical frame, Raley reads a number of locative narratives including Hundekopf,  Itinerant, Ping, and 34N188W.
