A model for a virtualLdoD

The Fragmentary Kinetics of Writing in the Book of Disquiet

“…This understanding of the work as an expression of the fragmentary kinetics of writing -which manifests itself as internal formal feature and external textual condition -makes it particularly suitable for an open exploration of the processability and modularity of the digital medium. Within the LdoD Digital Archive -a collaborative archive where readers will be able to see facsimiles and topographic transcriptions of the authorial documents, compare edited versions of the book, create their own virtual editions of the Book of Disquiet, and even rewrite fragments of their own -such textual encounter takes place in a network of editorial versions and authorial drafts that simulates the very dynamics of textuality (Portela and Silva 2014). The tension between part and whole, inherent in the fragmentary kinetics of writing, implies that the form of the book works as a conceptual space of articulation that we cannot materially totalize just by selecting and ordering its writings.…”

TEI4LdoD: Textual Encoding and Social Editing in Web 2.0 Environments

“…In this section we oer a synthesis of the four functions and three dimensions of our model for a virtual LdoD, as described in Portela and Silva (2014). This description has been diagrammed in gure 1.…”

“…Since we do not want to disregard the existing practice of encoding in TEI by expert users, the architecture needs to support the traditional encoding in TEI by the experts while enabling dynamic user interactions with the platform, as highlighted in the static and dynamic aspects of gure 2. This database contains the object model described in Portela and Silva (2014). For the support of Web 2.0 interactions, the :LdoD Application Server component provides a web clientserver interface that users, experts and non-experts alike, use to interact with the object-oriented repository.…”

Machines of Disquiet: Textual Experience in the LdoD Archive

“…In our model of the reconfigurative iterability of the work's genetic and editorial archive, Pessoa's book project can be virtualized according to four functions: reader-function, editor-function, book-function, and author-function. Through interaction between textual representation and textual transformation, the LdoD Archive becomes an engine for the experimental simulation of literary processes (Portela andSilva, 2015 and2016).…”
