1. Digital Literature in France (conference presentation)

   The presentation briefly retraces the history of electronic literature in France, emphasizing the various literary and aesthetic tendencies and the corresponding structures (groups, magazines, etc.). The focus then shifts to French electronic literature communities. The presentation notably provides an account of a study that Bouchardon did in 2004-2007 for the Centre Pompidou in Paris (study included in the book "Un laboratoire de littératures", http://editionsdelabibliotheque.bpi.fr/livre/?GCOI=84240100044550). He analyzed a "dispositif" (mailing list, website, meetings) called e-critures, dedicated to electronic literature, with the hypothesis of the co-construction of a "dispositif", a field and a community. The presentation concludes with the possible characteristics of electronic literature in France (which might not be specific to France), both from a literary and from a sociological point of view.

3. Catalonian Electronic Literature Communities

   Starting with the famous last words of Hamlet “and the rest is silence”, I would like to introduce the Catalan e-­?lit communities and their experience of Digital Literature. The Hermeneia Research Group has been one of the pioneers in the field in Spain and has been developing many different activities for the last 10 years. Lately it has been promoting a public debate in Literary Societies on Digital Literature (we will comment the last examples: Premis Octubre in Valencia, 2009, Catalan and Castillian Association of Writers, (AELC/ACEC), Barcelona 2010, Spanish Society of Comparative Literature, Alacant 2010, etc.). Of course the celebration in 2009 of the e-­?poetry festival in Barcelona was one of the big events and helped this open debate on the matter. But in this paper there will be a special space for one of this activities that, for

4. Digital Literature in France

   Serge Bouchardon's paper concludes with the observation that the field of digital literature "is based on each country's own conception of literariness, of the digital medium, as well as on the relation between the two" and completes his article with a question to be considered in future research on communities, asking if digital literature is a coherent international field or a mere collection of cultural specificities. Giving an account of how digital literature in France evolved theoretically and historically through the creation of creative works and their traditional filiations, within a study of two socio-technical devices, he also analyzes how a particular mailing list, "a reflexive device" of a community possibly contributes to the construction of the field. His contribution comes along with a rich collection of links to various French actors in the field.
