Digitality,
Intermediality, and the Miracle of the Monomedium
Abstract
In Grammophone, Film, Typewriter,
Friedrich Kittler envisioned a digital future
of demediation: all traditional differences
between media and mediations would be ended
in a fusion of digital numbers. Kittler’s
vision, I argue in my paper, is premediated
by Richard Wagner’s artwork of the future:
despite their differences, both stage the
dream of a multimedial future in which monomediality
or medial compartmentalization is effectively
aufgehoben. This idea of premediation is further
explored by comparing Wagner’s music
drama’s to digital multimedia works
and events of the 1990’s and early years
of our twenty-first century that try to fuse
words, bodily gestures, sounds, and images.
Keywords: pre-mediation,
intermediality, Wagner, Kittler.

Vers
de nouvelles formes en poésie numérique
programmée?
›Title
in English: Toward new forms in programmed
digital poetry?
Abstract
This paper makes a synthesis of some of recent
works of mine. It purposes new criterions
for analysing programmed forms.
The
notion of programmed form get out of genres
that appeared in the eighty’s. One discuss
the concepts implemented in these forms. One
stress on the concepts of technotext and intermedia.
One constructs performative, reading-position,
and instrumental axes for analyse and one
propose and classify some programmed forms.
Keywords: programmed form
in poetry, technotext, intermedia.

Rhetorics
of Surface and Depth in Digital Poetry
Abstract
This paper explores the rhetoric of surface
and depth in two different kinds of digital
poetry. Kinetic and time-based compositions,
such as John Cayley’s “overboard”
and “lens”, explore new parameters
of visual and spatial representation –
the ‘complex surface’ of the digital
screen. The other type of digital works, the
so-called ‘codeworks’, such as
“%Location” by JODI, thematise
the underlying technological prerequisites
and specificities of the medium. Both sets
of examples upset and challenge established
conceptions of depth and surface.
Keywords: kinetic and time-based
compositions, visual and spatial representation,
codeworks.

For
an Asthetic of Digital Poetry
Abstract
The aim of this study is to identify the strategic
elements which constitute the poetics of digital
poetry: infographic images, poeticity of several
elements, [il]legibility, the pluri-signification
of the relation image-text and the flow of
the reading process in the textual rearrangement.
This article aims to identify the ways electronic
writing has the possibility to determine the
new aesthetics of poetic expression.
Keywords: Web-poetry, aesthetic,
collective poetry, image-text.

Structures
temporelles et logiques du récit hypertextuel
›Title
in English: Temporal and logical structures
in hyperfictions
Abstract
In
this article, I do not want to deplore once
again the loss of reflexive practices of reading
in hypertextual environments. By comparing
the hyperfictions Apparitions inquiétantes
(Cecile Brandenbourger) and Histoire d’@
(Marc ETC), I would like to show that this
loss is often compensated by the emergence
of new forms of immersion. These forms are
certainly not based on the reflexive reading
of a precise text, but on the connections
that this text maintains with other elements
of a hypertextual environment. The tools I
want to propose in this article, will help
to evaluate with exactitude the function of
hyperlinks in the temporal and logical structure
in hyperfictions.
Keywords: hyperfiction, new
forms of immersion, connections, link.

›Title
in English: Analysis of webliterarity

Berkenheger
Abstract
Hypertextual theory is epystemologically
close to postmodernism. Hypertext is often
described as a result of their theoretical
ideas of text opposite to print text. Hypertextual
rhetoric is based upon utopian freedom from
traditional forms of literarity, which generally
pass off the analysis of works. In this article
I analyse the components of webliterarity
through a concrete hyperfiction.
Keywords: hyperfiction, rhetoric,
hypertextual theory, webliterarity.

Les
blogs: un effet littéraire?
›Title
in English: Blogs: a literary effect?
Abstract
Blogs' success confirms that blogs
are an emergent social phenomenon. Now, this
sucess contrats to the more confidential reception
of hyperfiction, which take advantage of the
structural resources of digital media. In
this article, I analyse and try to determine
how these works generate and feature blogs'
reception: their «effect» or their
«implicit reader».
Keywords: blogs, hyperfiction,
reception, effect, implicit reader.

«Claviers
intimes»: les journaux en ligne comme
nouvel espace d’intimité?
›Title
in English: "Intimate Keyboards":
online journals as new spaces for intimacy?
Abstract
This article aims at exploring the
phenomenon of intimate and «in time»
publishing practices as well as the flourishing
of private journals online, which are written
and take form before the readers' eye. Throughout
the analysis of two journals online (French
and German), it is possible to trace the continuous
comings and goings between the private and
the public spheres, exhibition and discretion,
which takes the appearance of a game. The
classic private journal is far from giving
a sanctuary image of the self, moreover it
conveys an ambiguous message which hiddens
and shows the self at the same time. In this
context, do new intimacy formats and spaces
consolidate the «constituent paradox»
of the private journal?
Keywords: private journal,
Internet, intimacy, exhibition, «in
between».

Abstract
In this article, I survey an interactive
dramatic experience performed in Internet.
I describe this work which puts together,
sometimes in a disturbing way, digital content
and living performances. This study aims at
determining the role of interactivity within
the "writing" and performance dimensions
of a dramatic work and the reassessement of
spectacle codes in Internet.
Keywords: e-theater, digitality,
life, spectacle, interactivity.

Pour

des œuvres de littérature informatique
›Title
in English: Toward new forms in programmed

Abstract
Some new aesthetic objects born with
computers can be classified résolument
dans le champ des arts plastiques, tandis
que d’autres explorent de nouveaux espaces
musicaux, et que d’autres encore, parce
qu’ils accordent une importance tout
particulière au texte, sembleraient
appartenir au champ de la littérature.
Ces œuvres à visée littéraire
sont tout à la fois lisibles et visibles
et leurs procédures d’interactivité
invitent à les regarder d’une
façon tout à fait particulière.
Keywords: electronic literature,
readability, visual, interactivity, reception.
