  1. A Short History of Electronic Poetry

    “Una Piccola Storia della Poesia Elettronica” presents a brief history of digital poetry, from the perspective of the Electronic Poetry Center (EPC), Buffalo, and the international E-Poetry Festivals of digital literature, art, and performance (E-Poetry). The paper engages the discipline from various perspectives, considering its relation to historic contextualizing movements and institutional mechanisms. Typifying the E-Poetry festivals, it is argued, are its exuberant origins: (1) the U.S. small press movements of the later twentieth century; (2) the activities and philosophies of the Electronic Poetry Center; (3) its self-definition as more broadly-conceived than that of hypertext; (4) the pre-existing literary ground of Language Poetry practices; (5) the vibrancy of the as-then-constituted Poetics Program at Buffalo, and; (6) a "symposium of the whole", the continued emerging importance of enthnopoetic localizations to an eventual realization of contemporary poetics.

  5. eLiterature: Literature in the Digital Era. Definition, Concept and Status

    In questo contributo si analizza il concetto di eLiterature e il suo statuto digitale. Si considera quindi il rapporto tra letteratura ed eLiterature e si presentano le caratteristiche peculiari di quest’ultima. Attraversando i concetti di digital born, paper-under-glass, ibridità, mutagenabilità, ergodicità, agency e testualità digitale si offre infine una definizione di letteratura elettronica.

  7. The Virtual and The Virtuous

    Con l’avvento di Internet la quantità di materiale "elettronico" esistente è aumentata sempre di più. Il web rappresenta sicuramente un passo in avanti sconvolgente nella storia del progresso dell’umanità; pur tuttavia tale dispositivo tecnologico è stato soggetto a numerose critiche dal momento che, secondo una posizione la quale, un tempo, avremmo definito “apocalittica”, questo ci starebbe portando verso la fine della Galassia Gutenberg. Con Internet ciò che è evidente è che ci si trova di fronte ad un’omogeneizzazione a livello del supporto grazie al quale la scrittura si veicola e si innesta, ma questa continua ad esistere, sia in quanto interfaccia possibile dell’intera storia tradizionale della letteratura, sia, ed in maniera consistente, in forme innovative. L'incontro tra digitale e mondo della letteratura ha dato vita ad uno scenario assolutamente inedito, senz'altro caratterizzato da una serie di nuove possibilità, ma, al contempo, anche da paradossi e puntellato da non pochi interrogativi.

  9. E-Art: Fragmentation and Assembling

    What constitutes the distinctive aspects of digital art? In what manner is art (created by the possibilities offered by electronic writing) either breaking away from or innovating upon the previous artistic tradition? The search for an answer to these questions leads us to circumscribe five traits, many of which are common to more recent artistic traditions. These are, in order: reflections on language, the thematisation of the act of production, the conceptual value of the work, art in a place beyond its reproducibility and the consequent value of its uniqueness, but above all, the work as a fragmented assemblage.

    “Self Portrait (s) [as Other (s)]” by Talan Memmott, published in the first volume of the Electronic Literature Collection, summarizes and provides a case study, and in many ways it is exemplary of these traits.

  10. The Textual Whole and its Vicissitudes in Digital and Ergodic Literature

    The paper tries to figure out what happens to the notion of the textual whole (or the literary work) if it can appropriate and mix texts not yet published, cannot be read in its entirety, if only a few of its signifiers can or will be shared by all its readers,  there’s no clear termination point to its metamorphosis, and it sets conditions and constraints to its reading process ranging from temporal limitations to personal and personalized perspectives. Perhaps something has to change, but what exactly and how and why?
