Digital Poetics.
The Making of E-Poetries
[English]
What writing is,
becomes altered by how it is physically written
through its production technology, its files, codes
and URLs. Even the URL itself contributes in a
small way to our experience of reading. (What are
you thinking as you type in:
/theories/hypertext.html versus
/theories/tomfoolery/hypertext.html?) To discover
"poetry" in coming years one must learn to see
through a new lens. The excerpt from Loss
Pequeño Glazier's book gives an idea what is
to be taken into account.

Pekka Himanens
"Die Hacker-Ethik und der Geist des
Informations-Zeitalters" [German]
Hackers have a
specific opinion about information and work.
Information wants to be free, work seeks to be
amusing. Pekka Himanen discusses this attitude as
an alternative to Max Weber's Protestant ethic of
work - work not as estrangement but as a way to
find yourself. Himanen's argument fails to address
Marx, indeed his attempt to introduce a new social
concept lacks substantiation.

Sabrina
Ortmann's "Netz Literatur Projekt"
[German]
The history of
digital literature from 1960 till
today. Ortman begins with many things and
deals with a lot of terms: Netliterature,
Hyperfiction, Computerliterature. Netliterature
consist of collaborative writings, email
literature, literary newsgroups and MUDs,
Computerliterature is hyperfiction, multimedial and
computer generated literature. Beat Suter has some
strong objections.

"Die Adresse des
Mediums" [German]
The psychology
of addressing has changed with Internet: Addresses
are independent of place and medium (email to
handy, voicemail as audio file via email); there is
only one Meier.de and behind this address Mr. or
Mrs. Schulze could be pretending to be Meier; the
aura lies in the URL, the lie as well. Especially
interesting: Sometimes the envelope is also the
postman. A conference book explains how to
understand new media; Roberto Simanowski has read
it.

Siegfried Lenz'
"Mutmaßungen über die Zukunft der
Literatur" [German]
Against the
digital devil. This is the implicit slogan of
Siegfried Lenz' "Presumptions about the future of
literature," showing how much he loves printed
literature and how little he knows about digital
literature. He repeats all the prejudices other
poorly informed writers have come up with. That he
is right sometimes is no surprise, considering the
problems digital rhetoric indeed
creates.

Pragmatic Media
Philosophy. Prolegomena for a New Discipline in the
Age of Internet [German]
Mike Sandbothe
sets out to systematically develop a long overdue
media philosophy. His approach is not
'theoreticistic' but neo-pragmatic: Sandbothe
brings the discussion between realists and
constructionists of media back to a social
political orientation and confronts us with the
question of which media epistemology is appropriate
for democratic societies. dichtung-digital
presents the abstract of Sandbothe's book.
