Matter would be passive, given, neutral. Meaning, ideas, and everything that seemed \"high\" to us would be on the side of immateriality. According to this rhetoric, any activity associated with matter -- for example, everything that concerns the formatting of content, technical choices, the activities of tagging and encoding data -- would be neutral, uninteresting and to be entrusted to \"subordinates\" -- often women. In my presentation I will quickly trace the history of this \"rhetoric of immateriality\" and show its effects in a certain -- dominant -- conception of what we call \"the digital.\"</p>",

In 2021, the project got a facelift: the establishment of a common vocabulary within LQM (Littérature québécoise mobile) allowed us to refine our records. It is now crucial to continue this work!</p>\r\n<p>Throughout the year, live broadcasts have allowed us to discover works and begin archiving work.</p>\r\n<p>Now it's time to get the ball rolling, and invite you to join us for the first corpus exploration hackathon day on the repertoire's TWITCH channel: https://www.twitch.tv/ecrituresnumeriques .\r\nOn June 24, starting at 8 a.m. Montreal time (2 p.m. French time), you are all invited to share works: unseen, or already explored parts of the corpora!</p>.\r\n<p>All forms - however born digital - are welcome: audio or video literature, from networks, blogs, sites, apps or digital books, visual novels and interactive fictions, in virtual reality or augmented reality, by projection or on screen.</p>\r\n<p>This hopefully dramatic increase in the corpus will make the data visualizations and study enabled by the Directory even more valuable.</p>\r\n<p>Hope to see you soon!\r\nEmmanuelle Lescouet\r\nfor the CRCEN's Directory of Digital Writing</p>",

"content_html": "<p>While many digital creations or editions are posed in mimicry in relation to the paper medium (recreating the format of an A4 page, the structure of a content in pages, etc.), the digital can be invested as a space where to renegotiate the characteristics of what is a text and what makes literature. The architecture of this medium (between hybridity, strata of writing, modularity of inscriptions that seem to be infinitely erasable and reinscribable), but also the lack of knowledge we may have of how it works dispossess us in a way of the text in the digital.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Between what is shown to us on the screen, the Web rendering, and what concretely constitutes this text, its technical backstage, lies a world of tranquility. Thinking about text on the screen requires awareness of its digital materiality -- and in particular of the format that determines it (DOCX, PDF, TXT or other) -- but also of the fundamental unbinding between text and media. My screen may be broken, my keyboard may be broken, my battery may be dead, my text will not be affected *to the letter*; however, a crash, a bug or a hack of my file will corrupt its words without my screen, my keyboard or my machine being affected. The health of the text is actually beyond its reading or writing interface, it depends on the format that decides its accessibility. However, I am not the author of this format. My digital writing machine does not make me the owner of the text I write on its interface. Conversely, I don't need to be Bill Gates or Paul Allen to write my text in DOCX. To claim ownership of the latter, however, I would have to usurp their identities. Where then to locate our relationship of intimacy to the text?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Going beyond the rendering on the screen, into the illegibility of the digital text (in the encoding languages), into this intermediate space between human and machine, going to meet the intranquillity of the digital text, is a process of research as much as it is of creating a literary intimacy. In this paper, I wish to deepen this idea of an intranquil knowledge in the experience of an intimacy with the digital text.</p>",

"content_html": "<p>Science fiction envisions possible futures, so it is only natural that it also questions the linguistic evolutions of these possible worlds. If we can view societal and linguistic developments as extensions and inter-dynamic systems, it becomes clear that linguistics can hold a fundamental place in SF writing (Landragin 2018, 2020).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Linguistic issues already agitate our news and ways of relating to one another. The last few years have seen the expansion of inclusive writing and the visibility of questions about gender in the language, particularly in French: how can we not be in a sexist relationship if even the nominations imply that the feminine does not exist</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What if this relationship were reversed? If society were sexist... the other way around?\r\nThis is the premise of Elisabeth Vonarburg's novel <i>Chroniques du pays des mères</i>, through which I would like to explore how linguistics can be a universe-building tool, a full-fledged \"show don't tell\" of literature. The expression of both the characters and the narrators, and what it induces, will shed light on a way of telling and representing a global society, a mirror of our own, unable to think outside its system of enunciation.</p>.\r\n\r\n<p>The reader then perceives the universe no longer solely through their own linguistic system, but by measuring the gap between this used language (yet, here, it is indeed normative French, without even Quebecisms) adapted to the reality of this other society. Since language is at the heart of the construction of both the myths and the historical representation of this society as seen by itself, it is necessary to understand its possible evolutions and its uses in order to grasp its narrative functions as a tool for the construction and consolidation of a second world.</p>",
