2. On Polish Translation of Sea and Spar Between

   Stephanie Strickland's and Nick Montfort's See and Spar Between is in many respects a translational challenge that in some languages might seem an impossible task. Polish, our target language, imposes some serious constraints: one- syllable words become disyllabic or multisyllabic; kennings have different morphological, lexical and grammatical arrangement, and most of the generative rhetoric of the original (like anaphors) must take into consideration the grammatical gender of Polish words. As a result, the javascript code, instructions that accompany the javascript file, and arrays of words that this poetry generator draws from, need to be expanded and rewritten. Moreover, in several crucial points of this rule-driven work, natural language forces us to modify the code. In translating Sea and Spar Between, the process of negotiation between the source language and the target language involves more factors than in the case of traditional translation. Strickland and Montfort read Dickinson and Melville and parse their readings into a computer program (in itself a translation, or port, from Python to javascript) which combines them in almost countless ways.

3. What I See and What You Read: A Narrative of Interdisciplinary Research on a Common Digital Object

   This paper presents the dual narrative of a shared research combining approaches from LIS and literature studies. Content and textual analyses of the digital novel The Unknown help identify areas of common interest, such as genesis and access. Interdisciplinary issues, such as methodology and reporting styles, are also addressed.

4. Animated Concrete Poetry Between Stillness and Motion - a Close-Up on Ottar Ormstad's Oeuvre of Works

   Throughout the last seven years, Ormstad experimented with both moving images and letters, conceived narratives, and styles that according to him reflect a continuum of the printed work he created in the 60’s. If the continuum also holds true for concrete poetry and poetry-films in general is a question addressed in my talk.

7. Intervista a Carlo Cinato

   In this interview, Carlo Cinato, author of the hypertext novel L’uomo senza cappello e la donna con le scarpe grigie (The man without a hat and the woman with grey shoes) and curator of the blog Parolata, explains how he started getting interested in electronic literature and how he conceived his novel. Through the study of hypertextual and non sequencial books in printed form he discovered a new way of writing which was adaptable to the technical possibilities of the web and the ebooks. According to Cinato there are analogies between literary works of the print tradition and the digital tradition, but in particular the latter are characterised by the possibility of making a leap inside the text. The hypertextual structure alters the role of the reader, the materiality of the text, the way of reading and the way to write for an author. Moreover Cinato sees the writing of the novel as an experiment. It was an occasion to write by using one of the seven hypertext links he has pinpointed. In the end he explains in which way the hypertextual structure changes the way of reading and how it can be installed also in ebooks.

8. Hypertext Revisited

   This article proposes a new approach to literary hypertext, which foregrounds the notion of interrupting rather than that of linking. It also claims that, given the dialectic relationship of literature in print and digital-born literature, it may be useful to reread contemporary hypertext in light of a specific type of literature in print that equally foregrounds aspects of segmentation and discontinuity: serialized literature (i.e. texts published in installment form). Finally, it discusses the shift from spatial form to temporal form in postmodern writing as well as the basic difference between segment and fragment.

10. Fortelling, litteratur og materialitet: En komparativ analyse av tre digitale verk

    The Intruder, Dakota and Faen. Nå har de senka takhøyden igjen. Må huske å kjøpe nye knebeskyttere are regarded as considerable works within the field of electronic literature. The works are made by Natalie Bookchin, Young Hae-Chang Heavy Industries and Tor Åge Bringsværd, and have strong bonds to the literary tradition. While using different aspects of the digital media to convey their stories, the three texts are retelling stories from earlier works of literature. The Intruder is built on a short story by Jorge Louis Borges, Dakota is a reading of Ezra Pounds Canto I and II and the third text is a html-version of a print short story by Bringsværd. With great variation in their use of different modalities, such as images, sound and animation, the retelling of these narratives are shaped by the digital works different semiotic meanings and materialities. By using a comparative method, the close readings of these works is more specifically examining: How does the digital texts physical material and context contribute to shaping the narration in The Intruder, Dakota and Faen. Nå har de senka takhøyden igjen. Må huske å kjøpe nye knebeskyttere?
