Hypertext/Hyperpoesis/Hyperpoetics
[English]
Electronic
writing is not simply the e-equivalent of paper
writing because writing that is electronic has
different properties than writing that is on paper.
The difference is in physical and material
properties. The most interesting of these are not
static properties (i.e., how many lines there are
in the text or how many bytes it occupies) but
properties that relate to the malleability of the
electronic text. These are properties that inject
the unpredictable into the work, always spinning
away from its viewers and creators the way a
listserv by nature spirals off-topic uncontrollably
or the way that, since a page doesn't seem to
display the way you intended, you just live with
it. Loss Pequeño Glazier is looking for a
better understanding of the dynamics of web-based
hypertext and asks whether a sense of hypertext can
be garnered from the people who seem to be
prominent in the field.

Explorations of
Ergodic Literature [English]
The
transformation of interface from a merely
indicative tool of navigation to a suggestive
element infused with metaphorical power in
text-based hypertext literature, and the
incorporation of hypermedia and modes of play and
games into the hypertext scenario--both strains are
gradually winning attention in electronic writing.
Topics such as the clarification of paidia (play)
and ludus (game) constituents, their formal impact
on literature, and the comprehension of the
aesthetic matrices projected by the symbiotic
infusion of literature, play and games, have been
posited, creating a new node in the network of
literary studies. Shuen-shing Lee's paper explores
these fertile new fields and aims to bring more
poetical recognition to digital textualities.

French e-poetry.
A short/long story [English]
"1964 the first
electronic poems were written by the French
Canadian engineer Jean Baudot ... 1975 the first
exhibition of automatically produced poems took
place during the "Europalia " event in Brussels.
... In 1985, during the exhibition
"Immatériaux" in the Georges Pompidou
Centre, the audience was invited to create and
print computer generated poems. ... We met some
members of the ALAMO group during the first
Conference for e-literatures in Paris in 1994. I
have been surprised by their aggressivity against
the emerging computer based poetry. For them,
nothing new could be done out of the paper
publication. There was obviously a break between
the authors who saw the computer as a tool and the
ones who are considering the machine as an
autonomous medium." - Patrick-Henri Burgaud tells
the story of French e-poetry.

Tracing back:
Netliterature and its Pre-(Hi)stories
[German]
With reference
to Queneau's sonnet combination and the
combinatorical poetry of Barock, Peter Gendolla and
Jörgen Schäfer question the "media
etiological perspective", focused on the apparatus'
disposition, drawing attention to the classical
avant garde as a reference to computer generated
literature.

Game worlds.
Relation of space and time in computer games
[German]
Game- and
webdesigner Kai Thomsen describes space as
fundamental ground for each game. Rules of a game
are the natural law for this game world. While as a
game-designer has almost complete control over
appearance of the space of his game world, he has
to part with some of the temporal control in favor
of the player. If a game recurs on narrative
elements the world has to fulfill narrative needs
as well.

Experiencing
hyperfictional readings. Reader response aspects of
narrative online-texts [German]
How do we
experience the reading of a hyperfiction? On every
journey through literary worlds of online-readings
lurks the question of how to respond to the
readings. Christian Bachmann analyzes the
experiences made in online-readings and shows two
components which are very much intertwined: the
narrative and its functions of understanding.
