ABSTRACT
In this contribution, I identify rhetorical figures that are specific to interactive writing: figures of manipulation (meaning gestual manipulation). It's a category on its own, along with figures of diction, construction, meaning and thought. In many computer art works, the artists use the figures of manipulation to introduce a loss of grasp.
What is emphasized in such figures is the coupling action/behavior, which could be considered as a basic unit in interactive writing. This coupling can be conceived independently from the medias it relies on. Thus, an a-media approach seems relevant when attempting to define an art of rhetoric in interactive writing.
