From OULIPO to Transitoire Observable
As an early programmer of digital poetry, theorist, active participant in various literary French movements, and co-founder of journals (alire) and groups (Transistoire Observable), Philippe Bootz outlines the gradual development of a coherent French aesthetic of digital poetry. His article circles around the paradigm of text generation and its different evolving movements which he describes and relates to each other in detail by giving account to the various actors, conditions, and conceptualizations behind the scenes of the communities he analyzes.

Distributed Authorship and Creative Communities
In its requirement, for both an author and reader, art can be considered a participatory activity. Expanded concepts of agency allow us to question what or who can be an active participant, allowing us to revisit the debate on authorship from alternate perspectives. We can ask whether creativity might be regarded as a form of social interaction, rather than an outcome. How might we understand creativity as interaction between people and things, as sets of discursive relations rather than outcomes?
Whilst creativity is often perceived as the product of the individual artist, or creative ensemble, it can also be considered an emergent phenomenon of communities, driving change and facilitating individual or ensemble creativity. Creativity can be a performative activity released when engaged through and by a community and understood as a process of interaction.

Digital Literature in France
Serge Bouchardon's paper concludes with the observation that the field of digital literature "is based on each country's own conception of literariness, of the digital medium, as well as on the relation between the two" and completes his article with a question to be considered in future research on communities, asking if digital literature is a coherent international field or a mere collection of cultural specificities. Giving an account of how digital literature in France evolved theoretically and historically through the creation of creative works and their traditional filiations, within a study of two socio-technical devices, he also analyzes how a particular mailing list, "a reflexive device" of a community possibly contributes to the construction of the field. His contribution comes along with a rich collection of links to various French actors in the field.

Digital Prohibition Piracy and Authorship in New Media Art
The act of creation requires us to remix existing cultural content and yet recent sweeping changes to copyright laws have criminalized the creative act as a violation of corporate rights in a commodified world. Copyright was originally designed to protect publishers, not authors, and has now gained a stranglehold on our ability to transport, read, write, teach and publish digital materials.
Contrasting Western models with issues of piracy as practiced in Asia, Digital Prohibition explores the concept of authorship as a capitalist institution and posits the Marxist idea of the multitude (à la Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt, and Paulo Virno) as a new collaborative model for creation in the digital age. Looking at how digital culture has transformed unitary authorship from its book-bound parameters into a collective and dispersed endeavor, Dr. Guertin examines process-based forms as diverse as blogs, Facebook, Twitter, performance art, immersive environments, smart mobs, hacktivism, tactical media, machinima, generative computer games (like Spore and The Sims) and augmented reality.

Digital Litteratur: En innføring
De siste tiårene har det oppstått en ny type litterære tekster, skrevet for skjerm og ikke papir. Ved siden av skrift tar tekstene i bruk modaliteter som bilder, verbalspråk, lyd, musikk og bevegelse, og de involverer leseren og kanskje også datamaskinen i tekstskapingen gjennom organiseringsprinsipper som hypertekst og kybertekst. Boka gir en oversikt over digital litteratur med vekt på skandinaviske eksempler, og diskuterer hvordan den digitale litteraturen gir et bilde av vår tid og utfordrer vårt litteraturbegrep.
Noen spørsmål i boka:
- Hva skjer når litterære tekster må leses på en skjerm?
- Kan litteratur generert av en datamaskin være kunst?
- Hvordan kan sosiale medier legge til rette for litteratur?
Digital litteratur er aktuell for alle som arbeider med eller studerer litteratur og formidling av litteratur, for eksempel studenter og lærere i ulike litteratur- og mediefag.
