    Literatur auf dem Rechner
    (2000)
    Kamphusmann, Thomas
    This study centers around computer–based literature and texts that are generated by algorithmic means. It originates from the obvious deficiencies of the categories used by literary and media scientists to classify and analyze the object in question. The leading thesis is that current methods and theories substantially rely on but scarcly reflect a certain media–technology: the book. According to this the study starts with the fundamental terms of computer science: storage, transmission and computation as the basic categories for analysing computer based texts and literature. The chapter "‘Funktionen"’ explains these terms technically and correlates them with functions within the traditional “book–based” literary system. The chapter "‘Formen"’ checks their scope concerning formal categorisation of selected examples. Presented are not only current hypertexts but also literary CD–ROMs and text generating programs. The chapter "‘Theorien"’ looks on well established literary theories and describes specific deficiencies as well as affinities to the basic terms of computer science.
