  2. Electronic Literature as Action and Event: Participatory Culture and “The Literary”

    ractices of public and performative electronic writing connect our arts movement to important sites of social transformation, beginning with the resistance to neoliberalism in government and academia, and potentially touching larger questions about relations of mass and elite culture.

    This panel comprises three papers, two by creator/conveners of participatory projects, the third by an interested theorist. The creators offer reflections on the meaning of participatory engagement based on their own experiences with the form. The theory paper adds some more abstract reflections addressing questions of general concern to electronic literature as a cultural movement.

  3. Opening up the Silent World: Narrating Interaction in a Digital Comic

    This paper examines Minna Sundberg’s ongoing and award winning digital web comic Stand Still. Stay Silent as a type of e-literature increasingly found in the “gap” between digitized comics and graphic novels on the one hand and born digital e-lit on the other. While the Sunberg’s process of production will be briefly noted, the main focus explores how the comic thematizes modes of interactivity that Sundberg also encourages in her readers/followers via forms of social media. Set in a post-apocalyptic world , the comic is an ongoing tale of exploration and discovery, where a group young explorers have left the havens of plague-free safe zones in order to see what is left of the rest of the world. The supernatural elements associated with the plague, or “the illness,” are also associated with a past that somehow went wrong. Writing of “Beasts, Trolls, and Giants,” the narrator explains, “They are a shadow of our past, a distorted echo of what once there was.” Avoiding the shadow of the past and the monstrosities it has produced is a powerful theme, carrying an implied social critique that deserves examination.

  4. End Matter: Interactive Fiction and a New Linguistic Consciousness

    The possibilities for interaction in electronic literature (e-lit) are heavily shaped by the platforms on which that interaction occurs, yet audiences are rarely aware of the extent to which the digital interface may influence, if not define, their sociality. These limitations take the form of community moderation tools and explicit censorship (such as in the case of profanity filters), but also in the designs of emote systems and content popularity systems, and achievement and reputation systems, and even in gameplay design. Often players, users, and audience members must oscillate rapidly and continually between determining the affordances of the tools available to them and evaluating the capacity of those tools to provide the social aims they desire.
