Exe.cut[up]able statements - Poetische Kalkuele
und Phantasmen des selbstausfuehrenden Texts
Florian Cramer (NL/DE)
Florian Cramer's dissertation Exe.cut[up]able
statements - Poetische Kalküle und Phantasmen des
selbstausführenden Texts investigates
literature-older works as well as contemporary
ones-that are based on calculation and
algorithms. This text analyses cabbalistic
combinations of utterances, word permutations,
aleatory (combinational), stochastic (random) and
recursive (running in reverse) texts,
computer-generated literature as well as the
poetics of programming languages and encoding
systems. In going about this, calculations and
algorithms are regarded as dimensions of language
and literature like graphics and phonetics are
perceived as dimensions of visual and acoustic
compositions. A general characteristic of
algorithmic literature is that calculations and
algorithms cannot be separated from the text (and
its meaning); rather, they possess their own
poetics, which is why the text is
"self-executing." Its meaning (semantics) thus
refers to the encoding system on which it is
based and vice versa. Exe.cut[up]able contains a
brief account of the history of this literary
genre and also analyses two concrete texts:
"Quirinus Kuhlmann's 17th-century permutational
sonnet XLI" and "Vom Wechsel menschlicher Sachen
and mez' _Viro.Logic Condition][ing][ 1.1_" by
Libeskuß.
