Conversation Avec Annie Abrahams
Cette Conversation s'inscrit dans la continuite de Conversations, serie d'entretiens sur la question des dimensions sociales et politiques dans l'art actuel menee par M. Fadat (Claire Fontaine; Stephen Wright; Paul Ardenne; Alain Badiou), Editions Appendices, Collection Art et politique, Nimes, 2010, avec leur aimable autorisation. Son introduction dans l'exposition Training for a Better World (Centre Regional d'Art Contemporain de Sete du 28/10 2011 au 01/01 2012), repond au desir de l'artiste non seulement de s'interroger sur son propre travail - l'autoreflexivite est concue comme materiau de l'oeuvre - mais encore d'apporter au spectateur-acteur des eclairages sur les enjeux et perspectives contenus dans celui-ci, depuis l'interieur de ladite exposition. Partie du tout, donc, l'objet livre delivre son suc et agit, par le milieu."
from estranger to e-stranger
This book is a compilation of the 77 posts Annie Abrahams wrote for her (e)stranger website between April and August 2014. Some of these are personal, others go back to literature, art works or are more theoretical. Abrahams plays creatively with ideas of what it means to be an (e)stranger. She researches its possibilities, beyond it's handicapping proprieties and touches upon themes as different as the use of Latin in church to questions about the relation between code and emotions. PastMono, research, collage, bricolage, assemblage. An (e)stranger is invisible, exotic, unidentifiable, rude, hybrid, blurry, deformed, subversive, incomprehensible, complex, pliable, lonely, abject, harder and more fragile at the same time ... they are more resilient, more inventive, know how to protect themselves, are good observers, look around a lot, see and ask questions about things that seem to be self-evident ...

Experimental Translation
The history and future of an alternative, oppositional translation practice. The threat of machine translation has given way to an alternative, experimental practice of translation that reflects upon and hijacks traditional paradigms. In much the same way that photography initiated a break in artistic practices with the threat of an absolute fidelity to the real, machine translation has paradoxically liberated human translators to err, to diverge, to tamper with the original, blurring creation and imitation with cyborg collage and appropriation. Seven chapters reimagine seven classic “procedures” of translation theory and pedagogy: borrowing, calque, literal translation, transposition, m...
Tele-Improvisation: Intercultural Interaction in the Online Global Music Jam Session
This research monograph explores the rapidly expanding field of networked music making and the ways in which musicians of different cultures improvise together online. It draws on extensive research to uncover the creative and cognitive approaches that geographically dispersed musicians develop to interact in displaced tele-improvisatory collaboration. It presents a multimodal analysis of three tele-improvisatory performances that examine how cross-cultural musician’s express and perceive intentionality in these interactions, as well as their experiences of distributed agency and tele-presence. Tele-Improvisation: Intercultural Interaction in the Online Global Music Jam Session will provide essential reading for musician’s, postgraduate students, researchers and educators, working in the areas of telematic performance, musicology, music cognition, intercultural communication, distance collaboration and learning, digital humanities, Computer Supported Cooperative Work and HCI.
Moving Images, Mobile Bodies
The book comprises a series of contributions by international scholars and practitioners from different backgrounds researching in the fields of contemporary visual culture and performance studies. This collection addresses the issue of corporeality as a discursive field (which asks for a “poetics”), and the possible ways in which technology affects and is affected by the body in the context of recent artistic and theoretical developments. The common denominator of the contributions here is their focus on the relationship between body and image expressed as the connection between reality and fiction, presence and absence, private and public, physical and virtual. The essays cover a wide ...
Analyzing Digital Fiction
Written for and read on a computer screen, digital fiction pursues its verbal, discursive and conceptual complexity through the digital medium. It is fiction whose structure, form and meaning are dictated by the digital context in which it is produced and requires analytical approaches that are sensitive to its status as a digital artifact. Analyzing Digital Fiction offers a collection of pioneering analyses based on replicable methodological frameworks. Chapters include analyses of hypertext fiction, Flash fiction, Twitter fiction and videogames with approaches taken from narratology, stylistics, semiotics and ludology. Essays propose ways in which digital environments can expand, challenge and test the limits of literary theories which have, until recently, predominantly been based on models and analyses of print texts.
The Community and the Algorithm: A Digital Interactive Poetics
Digital media presents an array of interesting challenges adapting new modes of collaborative, online communication to traditional writing and literary practices at the practical and theoretical levels. For centuries, popular concepts of the modern author, regardless of genre, have emphasized writing as a solo exercise in human communication, while the act of reading remains associated with solitude and individual privacy. “The Community and the Algorithm: A Digital Interactive Poetics” explores important cultural changes in these relationships thanks to the rapid development of digital internet technologies allowing near-instantaneous, synchronous, multimedia interaction across the glob...
Transatlantic Memories of Slavery: Remembering the Past, Changing the Future
While the memorialization of slavery has generated an impressive number of publications, relatively few studies deal with this subject from a transnational, transdisciplinary and transracial standpoint. As a historical phenomenon that crossed borders and traversed national communities and ethnic groups producing alliances that did not overlap with received identities, slavery as well as its memory call for comparative investigations that may bring to light aspects obscured by the predominant visibility of US-American and British narratives of the past. This study addresses the memory of slavery from a transnational perspective. It brings into dialogue texts and practices from the transatlant...
