1. Data-Realism: Reading and Writing Datafied Text

   Pold and Erslev explore third-wave electronic literature -- a practice situated in ¨social media networks, apps, mobile and touchscreen devices, and Web API services” (Flores). At the next conceptual level, however, literary practices of this kind unavoidably take part in representing and reconstructing the metainterface - a space of data collection, standardization, commodification and redistribution that, for better or worse, is our context for a contemporary data realism.

2. Exhibiting, Disseminating, Teaching: Digital Literature in Danish Public Libraries

   Danish public libraries have since 2010 exhibited, disseminated, and taught digital literature. This paper lays out the general trajectory of their work, and introduces the notion of a post-digital literacy: a theoretical lens through which to conceptualize and articulate the importance of teaching digital literature in K-12.

   In fruitful dialogue with a variety of other parties and institutions, including Aarhus University and the ELO, a handful of public libraries have developed considerable and impressive expertise, grounded in practice-based experimentation. Their efforts, which have taken place in the course of six projects, are the case into which this paper inquires. The case represents an astute continuity in terms of exhibiting and communicating digital literature to the general public, yet the decade of work has hitherto not been presented or analyzed collectively. In doing so, this paper not only collects the efforts made by multiple librarians in multiple libraries and documented in a variety of places and formats, it also considers the general trajectory of the work carried out as an ample case for charting areas for future work.

4. A 2020 Computer-Generated Text as a Posthuman Mode of Literature Production

   A central idea of posthumanism in a technological society is the actual transition of the human towards a post-human entity, the cyborg. This entanglement between humanity and technology can not only be found in – actual and fictional – cyborgs, but also in computer-generated textproduction. Through the close collaboration between human creativity and artificial intelligence, algorithmically facilitated writing is emerging as anart form that is proving promising for literary analysis in a posthuman context. This article will examine computer-generated fiction as a new,posthuman mode of text production and use poststructuralist and related theory – mainly Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, and Susan Sontag – toexplore the implications that such forms hold for the roles of authors, readers, and that of literary critics and scholars.

6. Fall 2020 Editors' Note

   Last March, halfway through assembling the Spring 2020 issue of The New River, we had to adjust to a fully online mode of collaboration. Between then and now, though a tremendous amount has changed, our mission has remained the same. Since its foundation, The New River has devoted its platform to emerging and established artists exploring the intersection of digital art and literature. The COVID-19 pandemic has shed new light on what it means to run a digital journal, especially at a time when so many of our daily interactions and responsibilities have, by necessity, shifted to the digital realm.

   The work we have selected for our Fall 2020 issue helps us come into a deeper understanding of how this current period of crisis strips bare long-standing inequities and injustices, calling us to exercise a cache of empathy and compassion we might have never known before. These pieces demonstrate how art can be a guiding force through even the most turbulent times, pushing us beyond our private quarantine bubbles and back into the world, where art and creativity persist.

7. "These Waves …:" Writing New Bodies for Applied E-literature Studies

   N. Katherine Hayles introduced the Electronic Literature concept of second generation hypermedia, characterized by their distinctive, multimodal, en enable by newly evolving, browser-based editing and network technologies vis-a-vis stand-alone, first generation, pre-web hypertext works, which were largely monomodal-verbal and followed a somewhat booking aesthetic.
   All the electronic literature generations are overlapping, the co-exist, respond to and feed off one another - similar to, and perhaps as contested as, the so-called waves of feminism.

   Given the sheer explosion of technological developments,  is important that all reach beyond their own disciplinary boundaries and into non-academic communities. 

   It is focused on the particular case of young woman’s body image, or, more precisely and inclusively, on body image in young, women-identified and gender non-conforming individuals, sawing how girls at six already express body dissatisfaction, provoking high risk for developing eating and body related distresses (Watson, Veale and Saewyc).

8. Collaboration and authority in electronic literature

   This paper explores collaborative processes in electronic literature. Specifically, it examines writer authority as it applies to text, code, and other media. By drawing from cinematic auteur theory, Mitchell’s Picture Theory (1994), Said’s Beginnings: Intention and Method (1975), Cayley’s Grammalepsy (2018), and Flores’s (2019) generational approach to digital literature, this paper highlights unique issues that arise in the creative collaborative production of digital literary works, and the influence these processes have on how these works are ‘read’. The creative processes employed in Montfort, Rettberg, and Carpenter’s respective Taroko Gorge, Tokyo Garage, and Gorge (2009), Jhave’s ReRites (2017–2018), and Luers, Smith, and Dean’s novelling (2016)), as well as reflections on the author’s own collaborative creative experiences (Paige and Powe (2017) with Lowry and Lane, Little Emperor Syndrome (2018) with Arnold, and V[R]erses (2019–) with Breeze) are explored in detail.

9. AI narratives: a history of imaginative thinking about intelligent machines

   This book is the first to examine the history of imaginative thinking about intelligent machines, featuring contributions from leading humanities and social science scholars who detail the narratives about artificial intelligence (AI) that in turn offer a crucial epistemic site for exploring contemporary debates about these powerful technologies
