In this paper, the author seeks to counter that view strongly by presenting a series of digital textworks which exemplify the performativity of form. They display the multiple ways in which the body (and by extension, subjectivity) is a necessary and vital element in the composition, distribution, reception and realisation of digital text. The question which arises from this is not so much is there a body present, but what are the myriad, embodied functions — technical and creative — which operate within the digital environment? Aujourd’hui encore le texte numérique est présenté dans bien des débats sur la littérature électronique comme une sorte d’objet immatériel, désincarné, dématérialisé. Cet article entend montrer justement le contraire, en soulignant le caractère performatif des formes numériques au travers de l’étude de quatre œuvres numériques. Ces dernières révèlent les multiples manières dont le corps (et par extension la subjectivité) joue un rôle vital dans la composition, la distribution, la réception et la réalisation d’un texte numérique. La question ici n’est pas tant de savoir si un corps est présent mais de dégager les multiples formes d’incarnation, tant sur le plan technique que créatif, qui opèrent au sein du milieu numérique.

Traces of the Body in Digital Performance
description It is still the case that in many discussions about digital literature, the digital textwork is thought of as some sort of immaterial, disembodied, dematerialised object. In this paper, the author seeks to counter that view strongly by presenting a series of digital textworks which exemplify the performativity of form. They display the multiple ways in which the body (and by extension, subjectivity) is a necessary and vital element in the composition, distribution, reception and realisation of digital text. The question which arises from this is not so much is there a body present, but what are the myriad, embodied functions — technical and creative — which operate within the digital environment?
