1. Interview with Dene Grigar

   In this interview Dene Grigar tells about her approach to electronic literature in the early 1990s and about her work as curator for the exhibit "Electronic Literature and Its Emerging Forms" in 2015. She goes on describing some distinguishing features of electronic literature and explaining her 'conceptual shift' on regard to the way of working with computers. Finally she suggests some methods of analysis for the understanding of electronic literature for both academic scholars and mainstream audience.

2. The Idiocy of the Digital Literary (and what does it have to do with digital humanities)?

   What does the category of the literary give to digital humanities? Nothing and everything. This essay considers the "idiocy" of the literary: its unaccountable singularity, which guarantees that we continue to return to it as a source, inspiration, and challenge. As a consequence, digital humanities is inspired and irritated by the literary.

   My essay shows this in three ways. First, through a speculative exploration of the relation between digital humanities and the category of "the literary." Second, through a quick survey of the use of literature in digital humanities project. Thirdly, through a specific examination of TEI and character rendering as digital humanities concerns that necessarily engage with the literary. Once again, the literary remains singular and not abstract, literal in a way that challenges and provokes us towards new digital humanities work.

3. The .txtual Condition: Digital Humanities, Born-Digital Archives, and the Future Literary

   In 1995 in the midst of the first widespread wave of digitization, the Modern Language Association issued a Statement on the Significance of Primary Records in order to assert the importance of retaining books and other physical artifacts even after they have been microfilmed or scanned for general consumption. "A primary record," the MLA told us then, "can appropriately be defined as a physical object produced or used at the particular past time that one is concerned with in a given instance" (27). Today, the conceit of a "primary record" can no longer be assumed to be coterminous with that of a "physical object." Electronic texts, files, feeds, and transmissions of all sorts are also now, indisputably, primary records. In the specific domain of the literary, a writer working today will not and cannot be studied in the future in the same way as writers of the past, because the basic material evidence of their authorial activity — manuscripts and drafts, working notes, correspondence, journals — is, like all textual production, increasingly migrating to the electronic realm.

5. Digital_Humanities

   Digital_Humanities is a compact, game-changing report on the state of contemporary knowledge production. Answering the question, “What is digital humanities?,” it provides an in-depth examination of an emerging field. This collaboratively authored and visually compelling volume explores methodologies and techniques unfamiliar to traditional modes of humanistic inquiry--including geospatial analysis, data mining, corpus linguistics, visualization, and simulation--to show their relevance for contemporary culture.

   Included are chapters on the basics, on emerging methods and genres, and on the social life of the digital humanities, along with “case studies,” “provocations,” and “advisories.” These persuasively crafted interventions offer a descriptive toolkit for anyone involved in the design, production, oversight, and review of digital projects. The authors argue that the digital humanities offers a revitalization of the liberal arts tradition in the electronically inflected, design-driven, multimedia language of the twenty-first century.

6. Digital Humanties in Praxis: Introducing the Brazilian Electronic Reseach Collection

   The Digital Humanities are in. The trendy scholarly practice for the tech-savvy literati, the DH has generated manifestos, grievances, enthusiasm, grammatical controversy (plural or singular concord?), and conferences. Said to possess both a “dark side” and a utopian core, it is humanities plus media. Humanities in media – but have the humanities ever existed outside a medium of inscription?

7. Humanidades e Informática: O Estado da Arte

   Vistas sob um certo prisma, humanidades e informática parecem dois pólos de realidades não só opostas como inconciliáveis. Porém, contrariando esse cenário de separação irremediável, defendemos aqui que algumas das oportunidades para repensar as humanidades têm sido proporcionadas precisamente pelo advento da informática. Acreditamos, por isso, que as humanidades se desenvolverão ainda mais no suporte digital e que este se tornará numa superfície de escrita e de leitura a encarar com uma normalidade que talvez ainda não seja possível esperar no actual momento histórico. Neste cenário, o computador poderá tornar-se, afinal, um “factor de união” entre “duas culturas” tradicionalmente separadas.

8. Elogio del texto digital. Claves para interpretar el cambio de paradigma

   Las mismas personas que, en el pasado sentimos un cierto rechazo hacia la idea de leer en una
   pantalla y alejarnos del romanticismo del libro, hemos terminado sucumbiendo en la tentación
   de comprarnos un libro electrónico. En la actualidad, estamos presenciando un momento decisivo
   en que la memoria documental de la humanidad está siendo transferida del papel a un
   nuevo formato constituido por las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación: el
   formato digital. Como lo defne Javier Celaya en el prólogo, Elogio del texto digital (2012) de
   José Manuel Lucía Megías, pretende ser un “quitamiedos” para todos aquellos que ven el texto
   en formato digital como una amenaza contra el libro impreso.
   Megías refexiona acerca del famoso debate, recurrente en conferencias y mesas redondas,
   sobre si el libro electrónico sustituirá por completo al impreso y si habrá consecuencias catas -
   trófcas en los derechos de autor y la distribución y publicación de los libros. Es común
   encontrar intelectuales que desprecian el acto de la lectura en una pantalla o que piensan que la

10. Interview with Leonardo Flores

    Leonardo Flores tells about his beginnings in the field of electronic literature and his current project on electronic poetry. He then makes an in-depth description of the paradigmatic change from printed literature to electronic literature with special attention on the expectations of readers who are new to new media works and the tradition, so to speak, of experimentalism in literature. With the same accuracy he ponders about the status of science of electronic literature and ends the interview with some considerations about the important issue of preservation.
