I
wrote my Ph.D. thesis within the research project "IT,
Narrative Fiction and the Literary System" (ITLIT), which was
run by the Section for the Sociology of
Literature at Uppsala
university. My thesis has the title Hyperworks
–
On Digital Literature and Computer Games
and deals with issues of hypertext fiction and narratology, structural
aspects of different kinds of works and texts in different media (storage,
presentation, organization, navigation, linking, etc.), and computer
games.
Professor Johan Svedjedal was my
supervisor.
The thesis consists of an introduction and the
following three essays:
"Berättelsens spel: berättarteknik och ergodicitet i Michael Joyces
afternoon, a story" ["The Game of Narration: Narrative
Technique and Ergodics in Michael Joyce's afternoon, a story"],
(Human IT
3:3, 1999, 27–127)
"Forming the Text, Performing the Work – Aspects of Media, Navigation
and Linking" (Human
IT 5:2–3, 2001, 81–206)
"Harry Ludens:
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as a Novel and
Computer Game" (Human
IT 7:2, 2004, 1–137)
