Anthology of Belén Gache's net-poems produced between 1996 and 2006 and one of her most widely known pieces. Here she proposes the exercise of reading as a decoding task as well as a ludic activity. The fourteen net-poems in this anthology are rooted in the historical avant-gardes, using strategies as randomness, tautology, appropriations, and are influenced by concrete and conceptual writing.
How should we explain to someone what a game is?
I imagine that we should describe games to him, and we might add:
"This and similar things are called 'games'." Ad do we know anymore about it ourselves? It is only other people whom we cannot tell exactly what a game is?
But this is not ignorance. We do not know the bounderies because none have been drawn.

Computer programming is a general-purpose way of using computation. It can be instrumental (oriented toward a predefined end, as with the development of well-specified apps and Web services) or exploratory (used for artistic work and intellectual inquiry). Professor Nick Monfort’s emphasis in this talk, as in his own work, is on exploratory programming, that type of programming which can be used as part of a creative or scholarly methodology. He says a bit about his own work but uses much of the discussion to survey how many other poet/programmers, artist/programmers, and scholar/programmers are creating radical new work and uncovering new insights.

"Do it" by Serge Bouchardon is an app that encourages the reader to be a more active participant in their lives. Posted in this issue is a sample video of Bouchardon’s app. Upon opening the app, the reader is told they are at a job interview and then is prompted through the various existential anxieties that follow. You can shake, tap, and expand the narrative, but the most important thing asked of you during the experience is: can you adapt?
The work has been presented by "The New River" for the Spring 2018 edition.

DigLitWeb is a hypertext in progress. Its aim is to reflect upon the ongoing digitisation of literature, with particular attention to the field of English and American Studies. We expect it to develop as a collective learning environment, and also as an annotated guide toelectronic works and archives. We examine both online editions of our inherited archive, and new digital genres and forms. The work published here originated in the postgraduate seminars 'Digital Culture and Literary Studies' and 'Electronic Editions and Archives', during the academic years 2003-2004 and 2005-2006.Additional material was added for the undergraduate courses 'Literature and Media in the Digital Age', in 2006-2007, 'Introduction to New Media' and 'History of the Book: From Manuscripts to Digital Texts', in 2008-2009; for 'Art and Multimedia', in 2009-2010; and also for the postgraduate seminar 'Kinetic Poetry', in 2009-2010. Sections are partially bilingual (Portuguese and/or English).
