What is literary creation without experimentation? How can we consider the literary regime since W.J.T. Mitchell has proclaimed, alongside the rise of new media, the pictorial turn as the contemporary ruling paradigm? Exploring further the idea of a neo-literature that would incorporate its visual feature, including screens and spectacular events, this volume scrutinizes contemporary experimentations through medias and disciplines: artist books, theoretical dialogues, transmedia, appropriation, musical, poetical or digital performances, various contemporary types of writing questioning the borders of what is—or is not—literature. These manifestations of literary facts, the role of the reader-viewer or the presence of the author invalidate the central position of canonical text and its fixation in a book: these manifestations of the literary push forward the critical horizon into the realm of sensorial perceptions and cognitive experience, which widens the literary space and triggers new theoretical speculations.
