In this paper, Philippe Bootz retraces the history and affiliations of electronic poetry in France, emphasizing its tendencies and significant role in the diffusion of "animated poetry." The author focuses on the vanguard of the L.A.I.R.E. group and the magazine Alire, which he and Tibor Papp founded in 1988 and 1989, respectively. This poet and researcher considers that electronic literature also has its own story. This story is an object of debate and positioning within a field of knowledge, particularly French.
