'Breathe': an artist interview with Kate Pullinger
Full text linkThis chapter is the third of three interviews that explore how the concepts and precepts of ambient literature are exemplified through the creation of a work of digitally mediated fiction. In this chapter, Kate Pullinger discusses how 'Breathe' utilises the affordances of the reader’s smartphone by leveraging data, including weather, time and location, in order to personalise the story to every reader. Pullinger describes the collaboration behind the project, developing the narrative through the use of variable or conditional text, as well as discussing decisions about the grammar and mode of storytelling used in creating the work

Critically Analyze a Digital Novel "The Inanimate Alice" by Kate Pullinger and Chris Joseph using Post-Modernism and New Media Theory
Full text linkThe Inanimate Alice is a digital novel that has gained critical acclaim for its innovative use of new media and its postmodern narrative structure. Written by Kate Pullinger and Chris Joseph, the novel tells the story of Alice, a young girl who grows up in a digital world, navigating the complexities of virtual reality and the internet. In this research paper, we critically analyze The Inanimate Alice by using postmodernism and new media theory. The researcher examines how the novel challenges traditional modes of storytelling and how it employs new media technologies to create a unique and immersive reading experience. Using postmodern theory, the researcher explores how The Inanimate Alice disrupts traditional narrative structures, blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction, and challenges the notion of a unified self. The researcher argues that the novel's fragmented narrative and non-linear structure reflect the postmodern condition of the contemporary world, where reality is increasingly constructed through digital media. Drawing on new media theory, we analyze how The Inanimate Alice utilizes digital technologies such as hyperlinks, video, and sound to create a multimodal reading experience. We argue that the novel represents a new form of literature that embraces the affordances of digital media and challenges traditional print-based modes of storytelling. We also examine the themes of the novel, including the relationship between technology and identity, the impact of digital media on human relationships, and the role of the artist in the digital world. We argue that The Inanimate Alice offers a nuanced and complex exploration of these themes, challenging simplistic and reductive views of the relationship between technology and society
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
