4. Authors, Readers, and Progression in Hypertext Narrative

   George Landow, Espen J. Aarseth, Stuart Moulthrop and many
   others have heralded the development of hypertext because they
   believe it represents a revolution in textuality that will radically
   alter how we read and write, including of course how we read and
   write narrative. Print texts, we are reminded by the champions of
   this new medium, are linear while hypertexts are nonlinear.
   Consequently, the argument goes, print narratives encourage reading
   in a fixed, straight-line sequence—one word after another, one
   page after another—under the control of the author. Even postmodern
   attempts to subvert the fixity of the print sequence cannot
   overcome the stability of the printed page and the restrictions on
   format imposed by the traditional book. Hypertext narratives, on
   the other hand, are fluid by design; their sequence changes based
   on readerly decisions. To put it another way, as those who advance
   this argument sometimes do, readers approach hypertext narratives
   from variable positions within the narrative, and so their progression
   through the text—indeed, the progression of the text—is not

5. Autofiction on Screen: Self-representation of an Egyptian ‘Spinster’ in a Literary Blog

   In this paper the blog Yawmiyyat 3nis [Diary of a Spinster] written by the Egyptian 3Abeer Sulayman [Abeer Soliman] is conceived as a form of autofiction. In fact, two aspects of online writing are of great importance for Egyptian bloggers. Firstly, blogging has given the Egyptian young people the possibility of sharing their innermost feelings and daily frustration without the fear of identification and humiliation due to their relative anonymity. Secondly, the computer operates as a projective device that allows users to discover and create different versions of themselves (Sorapure, 2003). Thus, blog writing facilitates autobiographic writing but at the same time turns daily life into fiction. The analysis of Abeer Soliman’s blog aims to show how the computer has an impact on the way diaries are written. On a structural level, I will highlight the presence of distinct literary features that are enhanced by the medium: the use of visual/audio components, the interaction with readers, and the presence of links. All these elements are essential for the understanding of Abeer’s self-representation.

6. Writing the Ephemeral […] and Re-Enchanting the Remnants: The Lability of the Digital Device in Literary Practice

   Whenever the program of a work is run by a computer, the digital device necessarily plays a role in its updating process: because of the operating systems, the software and the ever changing speed of computers, it may sometimes affect the author’s artistic project, or even make it unreadable on screen. Thus, authors lose control over the evolution of their work and the many updates it undergoes. Thus, the artist is given four options when dealing with the lability of the electronic device: (1) she demands the ‘right’context of reception for his work – a requirement which, over time, will be confronted with the impossibility to preserve obsolete machines, software and operating systems; (2) she ‘re-enchants’ the lability of the electronic device and ascribes a ‘technological sublime’ to it; (3) she simply ignores the lability of the digital device and creates at once, as if the digital framework was immutable; (4) she is fully aware of the instable environment in which his digital creation will be updated; he even considers the ephemeral and uncontrollable nature of his work as its fundamental aesthetic principle.

9. From Theo Lutz to Netzliteratur. The Development of German-Language Electronic Literature

   How and where would we have to begin if we want to bring the rather diverse
   German-language scene of net literature to a closer attention of our European colleagues?
   This definitely is no easy task, since today there are virtually no forums and archives of
   German-language net literature existing anymore. Therefore it may not be possible to get an
   accurate picture of the last 20 years’ net literature. Many sites and forums have been deleted
   from the net, while others remain virtually inactive for years and have to be perceived as
   internet archive corpses. A few are still active and provide material for current discussions.
