3. The Emergence of Electronic Literature

   Electronic literature has emerged as a field of creative practice and academic study over the course of the past several decades. Since the 1990s, the University of Bergen has been one of the central institutional players in the emergence of this field of practice along with peer institutions such as MIT, Brown University, and UCLA. This exhibition, including computers and computer programs, vintage works of electronic literature in original packaging, books, posters and ephemera of events, video documentaries, the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base and the ELMCIP Anthology of European Electronic Literature, will serve both to familiarize library patrons with the emergence of this field and with the special role that the University of Bergen has played in its development.

5. Electronic Literature's Past and Future

   Scott Rettberg will present his monograph Electronic Literature, which describes new forms and genres of writing that exploit the capabilities of computers and networks – literature that would not be possible without the contemporary digital context. Rettberg places the most significant genres of electronic literature in historical, technological, and cultural contexts. These include combinatory poetics, hypertext fiction, interactive fiction (and other game-based digital literary work), kinetic and interactive poetry, and networked writing based on our collective experience of the Internet. Rettberg will also present some of his own work and ask us to consider how digital literary art might help us to engage with contemporary societal challenges.

6. Electronic Literature in China

   In her article "Electronic Literature in China" Jinghua Guo discusses how the reception and the critical contexts of production of online literature are different in China from those in the West despite similar developments in digital technology. Guo traces the development of Chinese digital literature, its history, and the particular characteristics and unique cultural significance in the context of Chinese culture where communality is an aspect of society. Guo posits that Chinese electronic literature is larger than such in the West despite technical drawbacks and suggests that digitality represents a positive force in contemporary Chinese culture and literature.
