  2. Figures in the Interface: Comparative Methods in the Study of Digital Literature

     This paper, which is part of the collection of essays Reading Moving Letters (see introduction) reflects on what the emerging field of digital literature studies and the more established (but continually evolving) discipline of comparative literature might contribute to one another in terms of defining concepts and methods of literary analysis. My discussion is guided by the tentative proposition that the vexed status of the "national language" for comparative literature can be seen as analogous to the status of the "digital" for scholars undertaking research on computer-based literary texts. Aiming to overcome the ideological strictures of nationalism, many present-day comparatists are returning to the old question "what is literature?" and are placing renewed emphasis on the role of figurative language as a defining feature of literary texts and, consequently, as the appropriate focus of comparative textual analysis.

Päätoimittajina toimivat Markku Eskelinen ja Raine Koskimaa. Teemanumeroilla on usein myös vieraileva toimittaja. Nimestään huolimatta julkaisuja ei välttämättä ilmesty vuosittain.

  4. Digital Literature and the Modernist Problem

    What is the status of digital literature in contemporary culture? After more than 20 years of production, the audience for digital literature remains small in comparison with the audience for "serious" or popular fiction. Many scholars and practitioners assume that digital literature constitutes a contemporary avant-garde, which does its work of experimentation outside or in opposition to the mainstream. Recent comparisons of digital poetics and early modernist art practices (e.g. by Scott Rettberg and Jessica Pressman) indicate continued interest in this issue. The notion of the avant-garde might seem thoroughly out of date in a consideration of the digital future. Important theorists (e.g. Huyssen, Drucker) have argued that the avant-garde is no longer viable even for traditional media and art practices. On the other hand, the avant-gardes of twentieth-century modernism made claims about the function of art that remain surprisingly influential today, within the art community and within popular culture.

  8. Wo ist der Online-Ulysses? Kanonisierungsprozesse in der Netzliteratur

    "Net literature" is a relatively young phenomenon that has its roots as well in the experiments of visual and concrete poetics as in the application of hypertext. With the extensive use of computer- and network-technologies this new kind of literature has grown up and is now considered to be one of the most important influences of recent art. Not only does "net literature" connect sound, video and animation with interactivity and allows new forms of artistic expression. It also destroys the traditional functions in the literary system: The ‘death of the author’ gives birth to the writing reader.In this study a first attempt is made to apply the concept of "canon" to "net literature": Is there already a "canon" existing and if so, what are the techniques that are used to form this "canon"? Based on a theory of action and a modification of Karl Erik Rosengren’s "mention technique" a sample of German reviews on "net literature" was analyzed.

  10. Un laboratoire de littératures – Littérature numérique et Internet

    Aux amateurs de littérature numérique, le Web offre en deux clics l’œuvre et son envers, son mystère et une partie de ses clés, le spectacle et sa machinerie intellectuelle ou technique. Qu’on l’appelle «cyberlittérature» ou «littérature numérique», cette littérature n’aurait pas de réalité sans le support numérique et le dispositif informatique grâce auxquels l’œuvre est produite, lue et souvent agie. L’ambition de cet ouvrage est de faire entrer le lecteur dans l’univers des œuvres numériques, en interrogeant au passage le modèle classique de l’édition. Les auteurs ont choisi d’observer deux dispositifs collectifs : autrement dit, deux lieux sur le Web où deux communautés d’acteurs livrent simultanément quelques-unes des clés essentielles de leur raison sociale dans le domaine littéraire en ligne.
