1. Continuous Paper: Print Interfaces and Early Computer Writing

   Paper written for ISEA 2004 in Helsinki, on August 20, 2004 (Scott Rettberg presented). The investigation into early computer writing starts with the observation that "early interaction with computers happened largely on paper: on paper tape, on punchcards, and on print terminals and teletypewriters, with their scroll-like supplies of continuous paper for printing output and input both." Montfort traces back history and challenges the "screen essentialist" assumption about computing.

2. Continuous Paper

   Work in progress, presented at the History of Material Texts workshop at the University of Pennsylvania 23 February 2004 (references therefore are omitted).

   Montfort investigates into human-computer interaction before the screen and questions "how early print-based interfaces inform our understanding of print and paper metaphors in current computer interfaces."

7. Fuzzy Coherence: Making Sense of Continuity in Hypertext Narratives

   Hypertexts are digital texts characterized by interactive hyperlinking and a fragmented textual organization. Increasingly prominent since the early 1990s, hypertexts have become a common text type both on the Internet and in a variety of other digital contexts. Although studied widely in disciplines like hypertext theory and media studies, formal linguistic approaches to hypertext continue to be relatively rare.

8. A Performance of Reality. Handwriting and Paper in Digital Literature

   Digital literature emphasizes its own medium, and it brings to the foreground the graphic, material aspects of language. Experiments with the new medium and with the form of language are generally presented and interpreted within a framework of the historical avant-garde or the neo-avant-garde. This article aims to take a new perspective on the emerging digital materiality of language.

   The analysis of three works that remediate paper, the voice, the writing hand, or the physical presence of the author, leads to the conclusion that an ‘absent presence’ is given prominence. This paradoxical merging of presence and absence makes these forms of digital literature an expression of a specifically late postmodernist ambivalent stance regarding representation of the ‘real’. Complicity with the media culture goes hand in hand with an ironic approach of the mediatedness of the world and the body.

9. Digital Literature: Theoretical and Aesthetic Reflections

   The emergence of a new phenomenon – digital literature – within the field of
   literary studies calls for the reorganization and creation of new theoretical and
   analytical repertoires. As models of communication change, so do
   reception and production processes accompanying these changes. Within these
   altered scenarios, the dissertation Digital Literature: Theoretical and Aesthetic
   Reflections is a response to the aesthetic and theoretical challenges brought on by
   computer-based literature. As a methodological strategy, the dissertation articulates
   recent trends in the theory of digital aesthetics – remediation (BOLTER),
   eventilization (HAYLES), correlations of performativity, intermediality and
   interactivity with meaning-driven analysis (SIMANOWSKI), Medienumbrüche
   (GENDOLLA & SCHÄFER) – with theories of production of presence
   (GUMBRECHT), autopoietic communicative models (LUHMANN) and closereadings
   of digital works. By scripting a dialogue with key theorists from print
   literary theory as well as new media theorists and artists in the burgeoning field,

10. Transient Self-Portrait

    Transient self–portrait is an artistic research project with the aim of creating an interactive piece.
    I take as the point of departure two pivotal sonnets in Spanish literature that are normally studied
    alongside each other, En tanto que de rosa y azucena by Garcilaso de La Vega, a 16th Century
    Spanish poet, using Italian Renaissance verse forms and Mientras por competir con tu cabello by
    Luís de Gongora, a 17th Century Spanish poet from the Baroque period. Gongora’s sonnet is a
    homage to Garcilaso’s and the styles and the cultural aspects that appear on the sonnets are very
    different reflecting the attitudes from the Renaissance and the Baroque.
