2. Call and response: Towards a digital dramaturgy

   In support of their belief that the truest test of a methodology is to apply it to a new set of questions/practices, Barbara Bridger and J.R. Carpenter embark on a conversation about Carpenter’s computer-­generated dialogue: TRAINS.MISSION [A.DIALOGUE]. As they attempt to find language appropriate to an extended notion of dramaturgy capable of both contributing to and critiquing a digital literary practice, their calls and responses to one another come to perform the form and content of the dialogue in question. The resulting discussion provides an example of putting performance writing methodology into practice.

4. Troubadours of Information: Aesthetic Experiments in Sonification and Sound Technology

   When Ezra Pound exchanged his initial affinities for the fin-de-siècle decadence of pre-war London poetics for a growing interest in mediaeval troubadour traditions, he was looking beyond innovations in literary form and technique; there is ample evidence in much of his critical writing even at this early stage in his career that the poet was seeking a more philosophical relationship between representation, social ethos and cultural meaning. In the song and musical customs of the troubadour, as cultivated within the “Romance” languages and traditions of southern Europe, Pound identified a rare instance where an artwork’s material form inspired shared cultural sensibilities that transcended any and all context specific references or allusions. Exemplary of this level of aesthetic idealism in the troubadour romance, for Pound, are the songs of the 13th century Tuscan poet, Guido Cavalcanti (d.1300). Cavalcanti’s remarkably precise dedication to the structure and rhythm of the line, Pound informs us, demonstrates equally the “science of the music of words and the knowledge of their magical powers” (1912).

5. Del arte de medios al new media art: estrategias de contracultura y activismo

   Si bien ya presentes desde la década del 70, las TIC (las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación) registran un crecimiento exponencial en la década del 90 a partir de su digitalización, reconfigurando las dinámicas de la comunicación de masas. En el campo del arte se registran todo un conjunto de nuevos fenómenos: net.art, hacktivismo, open source, bending, open hardware, obras colaborativas y acciones impulsadas a través de la Red que, en gran medida, se presentan como herederas de las experimentaciones de los años 60s.

6. Subvirtiendo signos: la estrategia de la apropiación en la cultura contemporánea

   Desde las artes visuales, a partir de los años 60, el pop art hace profuso uso de la apropiación. El tema de la apropiación se acerca peligrosamente al de la paranoia. Aquí aparecen alteregos y fantasmas esquizoides de lo propio-ajeno y de lo mismo-otro. En este juego de signos duplicados y dobles códigos (de expectación, de lectura, de escucha), la significación se duplica, siempre alterada, dando lugar a una serie de cuestionamientos. ¿Referencia sin referente, según planteaba Derrida? ¿Dobles de nada, al decir de Baudrillard? La apropiación nos invita a desconfiar de todo texto, de todo signo, de toda identidad.

8. The Need for Multi-Aspectual Representation of Narratives in Modelling their Creative Process

   Existing approaches to narrative construction tend to apply basic engineering principles of system
   design which rely on identifying the most relevant feature of the domain for the problem at
   hand, and postulating an initial representation of the problem space organised around such a
   principal feature. Some features that have been favoured in the past include: causality, linear
   discourse, underlying structure, and character behavior. The present paper defends the need for
   simultaneous consideration of as many as possible of these aspects when attempting to model the
   process of creating narratives, together with some mechanism for distributing the weight of the
   decision processes across them. Humans faced with narrative construction may shift from views
   based on characters to views based on structure, then consider causality, and later also take into
   account the shape of discourse. This behavior can be related to the process of representational
   re-description of constraints as described in existing literature on cognitive models of the writing

9. From the Digital to the Bookbound

   Dear Reader: How are you reading these words? On which device? Through which interface? Can you read the source code of this web ‘page’? Can you re-write it? Why does it matter? We have machines for that, we have apps! In Reading Writing Interfaces: From the Digital to the Bookbound Lori Emerson sets out to demystify the wondrous devices of our digital age by interrogating both the limits and the creative possibilities of a wide range of reading and writing interfaces. For Emerson, interface is an open-ended term – a threshold, a point of interaction between human and hardware, between hardware and software, between reader and writer, and between human-authored writing and the vast corpus of machine-based text relentlessly reading and writing itself behind the surface of the screen.

10. Antiabecedarian Desires: Odd Narratology and Digital Textuality

    Writing systems break temporal barriers and enable the sharing of knowledge and its preservation. As if they were living organisms, the narratological structures that conform textual communication are made up of replicative ordering principles and coding forms whose roots can be traced back to a Semitic proto-alphabetic script. However, literary history also includes many examples that, like viruses, have sought to disrupt the body of alphabetic textuality. This paper looks briefly at three fundamental artists, James Joyce, Jorge Luis Borges, William Burroughs, and at some contemporary pieces of electronic literature. Their questioning of ABC ordering patterns anticipates the debate on the importance or not of linear structures in representation systems.
