Intent is Important (a sketch for a progressive criticism)
Miles has contributed three nodes to this issue of JoDI. In "Intent is Important (a sketch for a progressive criticism) he discusses the question of authorial intent, arguing that hypertext criticism must not only consider a work's literary merits but also consider how what may seem to be technical imperfections can be intended, crucial aspects of a work.

image + narrative
Installed as a double issue of starting in the winter of 96/97, contributors sought to explore through literature a transition already evident in the culture at large, where technology had enabled narratives of all types to undergo transformation by the image.
The first editors of the thread were Steve Tomasula and Anne Burdick.

A Bibliographic Overview of Electronic Literature
A bibliography of electronic-literature scholarship, created by Amanda Starling Gould and published in the Electronic Literature Directory.
The rapid emergence of this field necessitates a smartly curated beginners’ guide. This essay seeks to provide such by reviewing recent works that we feel represent an effective overview of current electronic literature (e-lit) scholarship. Sketching a durable architecture of critical contemporary e-lit texts is no easy task as both the pasts and the futures of the field are in dynamic shift and flow. In the service of putting forth a practical bibliography of e-lit scholarship, we here foreground the historical lineages (its disputed pasts) to focus primarily on the contemporary questions, conversations, critiques and critical theories that point toward its potential futures.

Literature in a State of Emergency
Giorgio Agamben has identified the “State of Exception” as the emergent principle of governance for the 21st Century. To summarize Agamben’s argument, alongside the emergence of modern theories of governance (democratic societies with defined human rights), a state of permanent emergency has been declared in response to the various threats (terrorism, ecological disasters, migration, etc.) that have enabled an exception to the rule to persist as the emerging norm. Parallel to this crisis in politics, there is the increasing currency of the term emergence in literary criticism, media theory, and cultural studies to describe the general state of change. Increasingly, this term is used to describe change as a benign and specifically digital determinism. This paper will consider electronic literature as both a laboratory for formal innovation and a site of critique.

“Iteration, you see”: Floating Text and Chaotic Reading/Viewing in slippingglimpse.
Crossing the tools of fluid dynamics with those of literary criticism, Gwen Le Cor casts a new light on contemporary writing in new media. Unlike first generation, “classical” hypertexts that were non-linear in the sense of using linked textual elements, Le Cor sees Strickland and Lawson Jaramillo’s poem, slippingglimpse, as a more “contemporary” instance of nonlinear writing that can be viewed (literally) as a “complex, nonlinear turbulent system.”

Computer-mediated Texts and Textuality: Theory and Practice
The majority of humanities computing projects within the discipline of literature have been conceived more as digital libraries than monographs which utilise the medium as a site of interpretation. The impetus to conceive electronic research in this way comes from the underlying philosophy of texts and textuality implicit in SGML and its instantiation for the humanities, the TEI, which was conceived as “a markup system intended for representing already existing literary texts”.
This article explores the most common theories used to conceive electronic research in literature, such as hypertext theory, OCHO (Ordered Hierarchy of Content Objects), and Jerome J. McGann’s “noninformational” forms of textuality. It also argues that as our understanding of electronic texts and textuality deepens, and as advances in technology progresses, other theories, such as Reception Theory and Versioning, may well be adapted to serve as a theoretical basis for conceiving research more akin to an electronic monograph than a digital library.Source: Author's Abstract

Literatura digital. Cul de Sac
¿La literatura electrónica está en un callejón sin salida, en un cul du sac sin escapatoria?Para el gran público sólo existe la literatura digitalizada. Los e-books, los e-readers, la industria de la autopublicación, las tabletas, las bibliotecas digitales, las editoriales en red, etc. Para que pueda revivir y encontrar una plasmación real, viva, que importe al mundo, deben darse las siguientes condiciones: 1. Que el corpus de obras digitales (no digitalizadas) de calidad y populares aumente exponencialmente. 2. Que el texto, que las palabras, vuelvan a estar en el centro de la obra, algo que la anteriormente citada van Dijk menciona al hablar de las críticas que Simanowski hace al arte digital en cuanto que canibaliza el texto, que olvida lo realmente importante, la historia, para ocultarla con unos efectos especiales que a pocos interesan. 3. Que exista una crítica profesional severa sobre las obras digitales.

Murmurs, Open Corpus of Online Written Poetry – The End of Isolated Poems
Murmurs seeks to gather and link texts written with a poetic intention and available in the net in order to present them in a consistent form within the outline of a hypertext. These texts will be identified by an algorithm and interconnected through semantic links generated with the use of coincident words.
Thanks to this process, the texts with poetic format, already published online, will become a sole extensive and surfable piece that can be analyzed and can receive feedback from blogs, twits, and by any other indexable means. This way we seek to generate a piece of e-poetry by uniting those expressive texts in the net that cannot individually be classified as e-poetry. In order to achieve this we will use algorithmic processes, databases, crawlers for indexing, Big Data analysis, all presented as self-generated hypertexts.
The study of these texts through systems of computer linguistics will allow finding coincidences in the use of language with expressive intentions in the net. In a second moment, an API (application programming interface) will open and allow the free processing of the information gathered.
