  • ENG 1131: Writing Through Media—Ergodic Literature
    Milligan i ENG 1131: Writing Through Media—Ergodic Literature Section 1983 Instructor:Caleb Milligan MWF, 6; W, E1-E3 Email:[email protected] ARCH 116 Office Hours:TUR 4367; MWF, 4 (and by appointment) Course Description Ergodic literature, according to media theorist Espen J. Aarseth, are those works for which “nontrivial effort is required to allow the reader to traverse the text,” demanding responsibilities beyond just “eye movement and the periodic or arbitrary turning of pages.” In this course, we will investigate important historical and more recent examples of ergodic texts, paying particular attention to the ways they require us to engage with and interact with the work. Our assigned texts should demonstrate that ergodic literature is not medium specific, as we investigate print literature, film, hypertext fiction, and games that all merit consideration as “cybertexts.” As we read and play these works, we will “write through media” by composing our own exercises of ergodic writing and reading through assignments that test limits of print and digital media. Course screening times will be dedicated to collaborative reading/viewing works that test ergodic and interactive possibilities, and to workshopping with print craft and required software for composition. We will regularly “read together” to emphasize the diversity of experiences ergodic texts may solicit, and to compare the differing resolutions each of you may reach to the shared resolutions we arrive at as a group. You should thus gain appreciation for the analysis and composition

  • Cybertext: a Topology of Reading
    Cybertext: A Topology of Reading Citation info: Lee, T.K. (2017) “Cybertext: A Topology of Reading”, Modern Chinese Literature and Culture 29(1): 172-203. Tong King Lee “Cybertext” was first used by Espen Aarseth as a critical term to denote dynamic forms of literature in his seminal book Cybertexts: Perspectives on Ergodic Literature. To Aarseth (1997) the cybertext “is not a ‘new,’ ‘revolutionary’ form of text” (18) exclusive to the digital or computing realm. Nor is it a radical departure from “old-fashioned textuality,” (18) that is, the codex book – often seen as having little to do with technology defined in a restricted sense. The notion of the cybertext was indeed proposed in response to the print-digital divide that continues to govern how we think about contemporary literary practice. In the popular imagination, the neologism “cyberliterature” evokes the idea of electronically-enabled literary works produced and received via computing platforms; printed literature, accordingly, is not normally considered as belonging to the “cyber” domain. Aarseth’s re-definition is therefore fundamental in unlocking the medial and generic constraints imposed on the prefix-signifier cyber. In the advent of Aarseth’s theory, the term cybertext does not refer to a particular text genre; instead, it describes “a broad textual media category,” (5) “a perspective on all forms of textuality.” (18; original emphasis) It challenges the traditional assumptions of literary criticism by encompassing a wide range of textual formations, some of which are not conventionally regarded as literature proper. The cybertext is therefore a heuristic category that cuts across media and genres “with no obvious unity of aesthetics, thematics, literary history, or even material technology.” (5) The defining characteristic of the cybertext rests not with its medium of representation – it can be instantiated in print, digital, or mixed-media formats – but within the dynamics of its design and reception.

The still narrow bandwidth of networks in the 1990s and the limited capabilities of affordable interfaces meant that encoded text became the dominant medium of information exchange on computer-based networks. And to communicate over these networks, people still, predominantly, write and read. That is, they compose (literary) texts and publish them in cyberspace, where they are read, usually in silence, by friends, colleagues, and the general public.2 All this has stimulated the emergence of an exuberant mass of new forms and proto-genres of visible language: Listserv mailing lists, online conferences or “chat” zones, MOO spaces, and so on.

  • The Emergence of Cyber Literature: a Challenge to Teach Literature from Text to Hypertext
    Proceedings | “Netizens of the World #NOW: Elevating Critical Thinking through Language and Literature” | ISBN 978-602-50956-4-1 THE EMERGENCE OF CYBER LITERATURE: A CHALLENGE TO TEACH LITERATURE FROM TEXT TO HYPERTEXT Deri Sis Nanda [email protected] Susanto Susanto [email protected] Bandar Lampung University, Indonesia Abstract In a digital era, people live in a cyberspace that they become part of modern society. The information that they have acquired is from the World Wide Web (WWW). This WWW has become an important medium for people in the world to disseminate information. Because of the technology of Web, cyber literature emerges. This study talks about the emergence of cyber literature which changes the way of reading and teaching in various institutions. It becomes a challenge for people who teach literature because they should leave the printed text and move to the digital text as called hypertext. The existence of cyber literature also drives them change their style to analyze and criticize the work of literature. So, it becomes a challenge for them to teach literature from text to hypertext. Keywords: cyber literature, emergence, text, hypertext, cyberspace, challenge, development. Introduction The influence of technology changes all aspects of people’s lives in the world. They become modern society who always get information and do communication in a virtual space. The influence can be seen in work places, homes and teaching institutions. Most of them acquire the information from the World Wide Web (WWW). It is a space for the users to read, write, and access the information with devices connected with the internet.

  • CYBERTEXT NARRATOLOGY Markku Eskelinen Introduction
    (INTRODUCTION TO) CYBERTEXT NARRATOLOGY Markku Eskelinen Introduction This paper combines Espen Aarseth´s typology and textonomy of cyber- texts with three advanced late 20th century models of narrativity: those of narratology as systematized by Gérard Genette, Seymour Chatman and Gerald Prince, the well-known constructions of postmodernism by Brian McHale, and finally the combinatorial and constrictive practices of the OuLiPo as described by Marcel Bénabou and Jacques Roubaud. In its own modestly exponential way my paper also introduces cybertext fiction, not much in existence yet. Consequently, we will focus on three main issues. At first, we’ll see how the basic and still somewhat heuristic concepts and categories of narratology have to change in order to be able to map out the possibilities and new constellations of cybertextual narration. Secondly, there is the digital dominant, that is, a new set of both epistemological and ontological problems caused or called forth by cybertext fiction and theory. And finally we’ll introduce oulipian objects and operations to temporally dynamic aspects of cybertext theory. It is important to clarify right from the start that cybertext fiction denies its users’ mastery in ways hypertext fiction does not. And in doing so it is much closer to that once hyped hypertext prophecy: print stays; electronic text replaces itself. Firstly, cybertext fiction reads its readers and reacts back by changing itself far more profoundly than by simply playing around with conditional links. In other words it operates as an average piece of 52 interactive art. It should be remembered that this so called interactivity, so far best explained and moderated by Aarseth’s user functions, has a much longer conceptual and practical history in many other forms of art.

  • Borges' “The Library of Babel” and Moulthrop's Cybertext
    Borges’ “The Library of Babel” and Moulthrop’s Cybertext “Reagan Library” Revisited Perla Sassón-Henry United States Naval Academy he works of Jorge Luis Borges are intimately related to technology and sci- Tence. In his short stories “The Garden of Forking Paths” and “The Library of Babel,” Borges anticipates hypertext and the Internet well before the advent of these technologies. Bifurcation and chaos theory have also been associated with both works. Thomas Weissert claims that “Borges discovered the essence of Bifurcation Theory thirty years before chaos scientists mathematically formalized it” (223). Weissert’s research provides the foundation for a new direction in the study of Borges’ works: the tripartite connection among “The Library of Babel,” the cybertext “Reagan Library” by Stuart Moulthrop, and chaos theory. Each element of this triad contributes to the understanding of each literary work from the perspective of digital technology, and a new perspective in the literary analysis of Borges’ works emerges. Borges’ innovative ideas about reading, writing, the role of the author, the role of the reader, and the text are reflected in the genre known as hyperfiction. This new type of literature, created on the computer to be read on the computer, allows the reader to traverse a series of lexias—electronic spaces—via links that generate an intricate narrative. In the last two decades, hyperfiction has evolved from a black- and-white electronic digital text into a rich environment where the text consists of images and sounds integral to the narrative. According to Susana Pajares Tosca, “hypertext fiction generally plays with disorientation as an aesthetic effect” and “each hyperfiction has its own reading rules embedded in its structure, and they apply often only to that text” (271).

  • Cybertext Poetics: Internet, Multimedia, and Pluralism Phenomena of Indonesian Literature
    Proceedings CYBERTEXT POETICS: INTERNET, MULTIMEDIA, AND PLURALISM PHENOMENA OF INDONESIAN LITERATURE Joko Santoso Universitas Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa, Yogyakarta [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: The multimedia era supported by the sophistication of the internet system raises serious problems regarding poetic, either textual poetic in general or literature in particular. This paper is an attempt to introduce the poetic of cyber text over the development of media and the rapid internet in the case of Indonesian literature. The examples of this idea are the appearance of memes and poems on the web Dewan Kesepian Jakarta that spread to various networks by the internet. The main idea is that print culture or print literature is no longer dominant, and followed by multimedia in pluralistic digital packaging. The tendency is consist of four (4) main ideas, namely: imitation, transformation, fusion, and creation. The conclusion is that the cyber text poetic is produced by media plurality. The literary boundaries of print literature has become fuse, not dominant, not single. New genres of Indonesian literature emerged in a form that was not original—incomplete, changed as it pleased, appeared in the form of fusion and certain creations. Keywords: cybertext poetic, plurality of media, plurality of Indonesian literature INTRODUCTION The dominance of print culture (print media) is very significant in many fields. The influence is not only attached to literacy, but also to culture in general, social, political, economic, and so forth. Such dominance also spawned a variety of approaches, theories, and methodologies based on "print culture orientation". In turn, the orientation of the print culture influences the mindset and consciousness of the subjects living in it and living the culture.

  • Cybertext Poetics
    [Title Page] Cybertext Poetics The Critical Landscape of New Media Literary Theory by Markku Eskelinen [Logo] Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Points of departure Cybertext Poetics has three different points of departure: theoretical, strategic, and empirical. It uses ludology and modified cybertext theory as a cross-disciplinary perspective to solve four persistent and strategically chosen problems in four separate, yet interconnected fields: literary theory, narratology, game studies, and digital media.i The problems in the first three fields stem from the same root: hegemonic theories are based on a subset of possible media behaviors that is far too limited, and this limitation seriously undermines their explanatory and analytical power. The cumulative effects of this lack also obscure our understanding of transmediality, media ecology, and digital media. An example may perhaps help demonstrate what I mean. If we take an ordinary printed and bound book, what are the facts that we just might agree upon? The color of its covers, the number of its pages and words if we bother to count, but all this is deemed banal for a good reason: the rest and with it everything that really interests us is up to interpretation. By now we know very well where that road leads: irreducible differences in reception, contexts and communities and also in competence and skill. But let’s try another kind of book, B.S. Johnson’s The Unfortunates: it comes with simple instructions allowing the reader to decide in which order to read the bundles of text. Here we can also agree, in addition to those banal facts, on a certain operational procedure of how we should make this literary work function.

  • Planning for Hypertexts in the Writing Center... Or Not
    WCJ_winter2004 2/19/04 11:26 AM Page 9 Planning for Hypertexts in the Writing Center... Or Not by Michael A. Pemberton It will come as no surprise, perhaps, to say that writing centers have long been grounded in – some would say "bounded by" – the conventions of printed text. True, writing centers, like most of the rest of the world, have been influenced by advances in computer technology, most recently through the explosive growth of Online Writing Labs (OWLs) and computer-mediated conferencing with students, but fundamentally, most of the interactions between students and tutors still center on the handwritten or printed texts that are placed on a table between them or, perhaps, shared in a word- processed file. These texts are structured linearly and hierarchically, moving along a single path from beginning to end, following well-known and universally taught dis- course forms that have emerged from a print-based rhetorical tradition. But times may be changing. As we enter an era when electronic publishing and com- puter-mediated discourse are the norm, an era when new literary genres and new forms of communication emerge on, seemingly, a weekly basis, we must ask ourselves whether writing centers should continue to dwell exclusively in the linear, non-linked world of the printed page or whether they should plan to redefine themselves – and retrain themselves – to take residence in the emerging world of multimedia, hyper- linked, digital documents. To put it plainly, should we be preparing tutors to confer- ence with students about hypertexts? This is not a simple question to answer, but it is About the Author Michael A.
