History of Digital Poetry in France

This two-part workshop led by Philippe Bootz and Johnathan Baillehache will focus on the history and documentation of French Digital Poetry.

Morning session: History of French digital poetry since Calliope (1952) until Transitoire Observable (2003). Lecture and discussion led by Bootz.
Afternoon session: Documenting French digital poetry in ELMCIP French Language Electronic Literature research collection.

Participants will first encounter some of the history of French digital poetry and view and interact with some early works. In the afternoon, participants will work together to document this history and these works in the ELMCIP Knowledge Base in a workshop led by Baillehache, who has been developing a research collection on the topic with students at Georgia University.
