(German)

Roberto
Simanowski reviews this interactive
writingproject (prizewinner of the '99
Ettlingen net-literature competition) reports
one reader's experience with this piece of
collaborative writing and examines the
following issues: the fetishism of
association as a competitive principle in the
information age; an analogy between this
writing project and Jean Paul's idea of an
all-embracing wit; the association of words
as an association of
authors.[>>>Abstract]

Perspektiven
einer Ästhetik der digitalen Literatur
(German)
|
This
essay is a theoretical approach to an
aesthetics of digital literature by Roberto
Simanowski. It presents a typology of digital
literature, distinguishes between connotative
and combinatoric openness with reference to
Umberto Eco, discusses the references to
postmodern and poststructural theory in the
hypertext discourse, and applies criteria for
an aesthetics of digital literature to
several
examples.[>>>Abstract]
