Abstract (in English)

A timeline relating digital literature and computation divided into three main topics: technological context (brown), cultural context (blue) and digital literature [littérature numérique] (green).

Digital literature started at the same time as electronic computation. This timeline presents digital literature in context, showing its roots in terms of pioneering scientific issues and literary issues, from the poetic avant-garde of the 20th century to more traditional writing systems. Digital literature progressively transforms itself with technological updating.

Abstract (in original language)

La littérature numérique est apparue en même temps que l'informatique. Elle s'enracine dans des problématiques scientifiques pionnières et des questions littéraires issues des avant-gardes poétiques du 20e siècle ou des écritures plus traditionnelles. Elle se transforme au fur et à mesure des progrès technologiques.

Description (in English)

Like the sky the eyes is conceived from the start as a hypertext novel: as a set of links and intertextual relations. Once you click on the access to the novel, appears to us a grid, in which each section is occupied by an eye. On the vertical axis we read three names (Javier, Iñaqui and Paco) and the horizontal axis is numbered from 1 to 13. Three characters, thirteen times and one novel, a single trigger event, "Elizabeth is dead ..." Not only imports text about the story but the layout is the principal: "Select character and pressing time on a eye on the grid "pray bold lines. [Source: http://www.badosa.com/bin/obra.pl?id=m001 ]

Description (in original language)

Como el cielo los ojos se concibe desde el primer momento como una novela hipertextual: como un juego de vínculos y de relaciones intertextuales. Una vez que pulsamos en el acceso a la novela, aparece ante nosotros una cuadrícula, en la que cada sección está ocupada por un ojo. En el eje vertical leemos tres nombres (Javier, Iñaqui y Paco) y el eje horizontal está numerado del uno al trece. Tres personajes, trece tiempos y una sola novela, un solo acontecimiento desencadenador: «Isabel ha muerto...» No sólo importa el texto en cuanto a la narración sino que la disposición ocupa un lugar principal: «Seleccione personaje y tiempo pulsando sobre un ojo en la cuadrícula» rezan unas líneas en negrita.
