1. The Programming Era: Building Literary Networks Through Peer-to-Peer Review

   A noted literary scholar, Mark McGurl, has dubbed the postwar period in American literary history “The Program Era.” This phrase alludes to the fact that after World-War II most American literary production occurred in and around creative writing programs. Today, electronic literature continues the trend of literature’s institutionalization within higher education systems. E-lit literalizes the concept of “program” fiction inasmuch as its authors must also be adept at coding and programming. Taking the systematic coupling of literary art and higher-educational institutions as a necessary given, what can we—i.e. the authors, artists, critics, coders, scholars, students, writers and readers thinking at the interface of these social systems—do to create environments in which e-lit can flourish?

3. Electronic Literature Publishing and Distribution in Europe

   A preliminary presentation of Publishing E-Lit in Europe,  a report detailing efforts to systematically survey and analyze the publication of electronic literature within Europe. Due to the immensity of their investigation and the limitations on what two researchers could achieve in three months' time, the authors emphasized that their report was a work in progress: at this point, they had been able to collect primary data about the publications, portals, collections, contests and other forums that supported the creation and distribution of electronic literature in Europe. The revised version of the report would feature more content analysis - of the type of material published and trends that distinguished various e-lit communities writing within specific linguistic and cultural traditions.

5. Reconfiguring Publishing

   301. Reconfiguring Publishing

   Friday, 6 January, 1:45-3:00 p.m., Grand A Sheraton

   An Electronic Roundtable Exhibiting the Future(s) of Publishing

   Presiding: Carolyn Guertin, Univ. of Texas, Arlington; William Thompson, Western Illinois Univ.

   This session intends not to bury publishing but to raise awareness of its transformations and continuities as it reconfigures itself. New platforms are causing publishers to return to their roots as booksellers while booksellers are once again becoming publishers. Open-access models of publishing are creating new models for content creation and distribution as small print-focused presses are experiencing a renaissance. Come see!

8. In the Absence of the Publisher's Peritext

   To Genette, the basic “nature of the paratext” is functional (7). In his theoretical account, he
   presents a number of paratextual units (title, dedications, epigraphs etc.) and proofs its functionality through the analysis of respective examples. At the same time, he alerts that
   paratexts may be unproductive and notes: “from the fact that the paratext always fulfills a
   function, it does not necessarily follow that the paratext always fulfills its function well” (409).
   That said, paratexts may be dysfunctional in that a paratext does not meet the function Genette
   originally envisioned. A paratext is also dysfunctional if it is absent where it’d be expected: based
   and bound to the materiality of the book-as-object, Genette has developed a map to locate the
   types of paratexts he designates. As per Genette, a preface supposedly precedes a work and an
   epigraph shouldn’t intervene a body’s text. Likewise, the publisher’s peritext spans around and
   within the body of a work, while the epitext is located outside of a work’s material body. A paratext’s location thus defines its function.
