1. Derivative Writing: E-literature in the World of New Social and Economic Paradigms

   This paper seeks to broaden the conceptual field of e-literary studies by exploring the social and economic context that shapes e-literature as an emerging field of textual practice in new media. It is also an attempt to analyse the current positioning of e-literature in the broader field of algorithmic culture and to explore its interactions with new media art. Our research is driven by the idea that e-literature and its institutions might also be explained by applying some key concepts taken from the social sciences (including economics). E-literary text is viewed as a social event: It needs the presence of the audience, and the process of its creation is embedded in its social context.

2. Remediating English Pedagogy: Nurturing Immersive, Complex and Creative Literary Experiences for Students in Contemporary Times

   In the past decade there has been a significant uptake of new forms of storytelling in a multimedia digital communication culture (Alexander, 2011; Page, 2010; Wardrip-Fruin & Harrigan, 2004; 2009; 2010). The examples reported in this paper both provide new opportunities for schooling to offer children opportunities for critical understanding and participatory capacity development in this shift in the cultures of the new media age. A number of studies have recognised that schooling has some way to go to offer students the kinds of practices with new media which they are frequently engaged in during their out of school activities (Chandler-Olcott & Mahar, 2003; Lankshear & Knobel, 2004; 2006; Thomas, 2007). Both examples are discussed in light of demonstrating how a technology enhanced, new media infused, reconceptualisation of English teaching can prepare children for their roles as both creators and consumers in participatory interactive fictional narratives for the future.

3. R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX - an artist's presentation

   This is an artists' presentation of the project R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX (remixworx) as a case study for Remediating the Social Conference.

   R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX, the blog, began in November 2006 as a collaborative space for remixing digital art, visual poetry, e-poetry, playable media, animation, photography, music and texts. Since then it has grown to include more than 500 individual works of media, many strewn about in comment areas. Where possible, each new piece is remixed, literally or conceptually, from others on the blog and linked to the appropriate page(s). New work is welcome too because R3/\/\1X\/\/0RX needs to be fed. Source material is made available and all media is freely given to be remixed. Thus, the project has no single author.

4. How It Is in Common Tongues

   How It Is in Common Tongues was composed by searching for the text of Samuel Beckett’s How It Is using a universally accessible search engine, attempting to find, in sequence, the longest common phrases from How It Is that were composed by writers or writing machines other than Beckett. These phrases are quoted from a portion of the commons of language that happens to have been indexed by a universally accessible engine.
