5. The Endgame or a Wake?: Tropes of Circularity in Literature Then and Now

   This paper argues that attending to the tropes of circularity featuring in print-based literature proves to be a useful foil for an analysis of electronic literature. Based on the idea that digital literary mechanisms do not obliviate previous circularity-inducing structuring motifs in analog literature, such as labyrinths, chess, rivers, and clockwork, this argument arrives at a crucial time for literature, which is currently the object of intensified debates on beginnings and ends, especially in the context of digitality and multisensory perception becoming central to some aspects of its processes. Accordingly, circular motion is here analysed in its depiction and actuation across several kinds of literary / literal machines, in reflection also on how sensory perception both mediate and is mediated. If literature is conditional upon a series of unique, though interconnected, mechanisms, it seems reasonable not to discard a certain circularity of the senses that is brought into play there and, indeed, given both thematic and formal substance in analog and digital works.

6. Through the Touching Glass: Literature for Haptic Inter[(surf)aces]

   Leaps and take-offs

   The blue sky above us is the optical layer of the atmosphere, the great lens of the terrestrial globe, its brilliant retina.
   From ultra-marine, beyond the sea, to ultra-sky, the horizon divides opacity from transparency. It is just one small step from earth-matter to space-light – a leap or a take-off able to free us for a moment from gravity.

7. Grasp All, Lose All: Loss of Grasp and Non-Functional Digital Interfaces in Electronic Literature

   “And one should understand tact, not in the common sense of the tactile, but in the sense of knowing how to touch without touching, without touching too much, where touching is already too much.” Jacques Derrida

   A “hasty conclusion”, perhaps, as stated by Derrida, yet, one that was (and still is) able to cause an intense discussion among philosophers. In his questioning of touch, Derrida draws on Jean Luc Nancy’s philosophy of touch, particularly on the latter’s paradox of intangible tangibility, as a way to explore a slightly different meaning of the verb haptein (to be able to touch, to grab, to attach, to fasten), but also meaning “to hold back, to stop” (Nancy [2003]: 2008, 15).

8. "Criar as imagens com a pele": o gesto como processo de leitura háptica na experienciação de obras literárias digitais

   A gradual substituição de interfaces mecânico-electrónicas pelo contacto tátilo-háptico com o ecrã, através de mãos, dedos e, em determinados casos, todo o corpo biológico, acarreta consigo uma série de toques e gestos literais com influência evidente no modo como lemos e escrevemos em ambientes multimodais digitais. Fazendo uso de uma retórica com base em qualidades perceptivas como “transparência” e “suavidade”, esta redução protética parece dar continuidade a um desejo ancestral imediato e não mediado de acesso ao conhecimento. Por outro lado, e de modo paradoxal, ela acaba por reforçar aquilo que à primeira vista parece contrariar: o domínio secular da visualidade propulsionado pelo paradigma de Gutenberg e um entendimento de leitura enquanto processo mormente visual. É com base nas aproximações e afastamentos que paradoxos como o acima referido despoletam que me proponho analisar neste artigo as noções de toque e de gesto, na sua relação com os processos de escrita e leitura.
