3. Salon March 9, 2021: African Electronic Literature

   Join us for a fast paced, fascinating romp through some of Africa's electronic literature. Digitally born from so many different countries and languages, African elit spans interactive video games(pc, mobile and web), Twitterature, interactive poetry, hypertext fiction etc. Yohanna Waliya Jospeh, at the University of Calabar in Nigeria, is a digital poet, distant writer, novelist, playwright, winner of the Janusz Korczak Prize for Global South 2020, Electronic Literature Organization Research Fellow and UNESCO Janusz Korczak Fellow. He'll lead us on a whirlwind tour of his new African elit database, and we will discuss:
   How can we recognize hypertexts in African discourse and bring them to scholars' and readers' attention?
   What are the barriers for elit in African nations and how can we overcome these?

   What would the next steps be in integrating the African elit database into other elit databases

5. ELO Salons: Beyond 2020

   First proposed by Annie Abrahams and Deena Larsen at the 2019 ELO Conference in Cork, the ELO Salons initially comprised 10 online sessions on the second Tuesday of every month from February to November 2020. The sessions encompassed close readings and ensuing discussions, collaborative writing experiments, ontological examination of elit, and approaches to increasing elit accessibility and archivability. Each session has been led by a different attendee, recorded, and archived. Conceived by Deena Larsen as "almost like an extended family, which has a core group of people that participated and could function online”, the Salons have been a point of brightness in an extremely difficult year for many.

6. Salon June 8 2021: Playable Comms

   Playable Comms is an interdisciplinary, collaborative network of projects with the aim of examining interactive digital narratives (IDNs) as tools for educating audiences on topics of science and health. More specifically, the research evaluates the efficacy of using IDNs for health and sci-comm, attempting to measure message uptake from outright rejection to holistic adoption engendering associated behavioural change. As a practice-based practitioner/researcher composing IDNs and evaluating their efficacy on multiple projects, I aim to develop a model for health and science communication through reading and writing IDNs that can be implemented in a wide array of scenarios and topic areas.

7. Salon July 13 2021: Structuring Metadata for Born-Digital Literature for The NEXT: What Artists, Editors, Scholars, and Collectors Need to Know

   This presentation details how to structure metadata about born-digital literature for collections in The NEXT. It introduces the extended metadata schema the Electronic Literature Lab (ELL) utilizes for The NEXT, showing both how information displays on the front end of the spaces, as well as organized on the back end for the database.

   Leading the discussion is Dene Grigar, Director of ELL and the Managing Director and Curator of The NEXT, and Richard Snyder, Assistant Director of ELL and the Metadata Specialist for The NEXT.

   If you currently have works held in The NEXT or are thinking of donating them in the future, this presentation will shed light on the process undertaken to ensure works are accessible and provide precise information about them. Participants will leave the presentation with a copy of both the schema ELL is using and an metadata spreadsheet template for their own use.

   8:00-8:10        Introductions—Dene

   8:10-8:30        Metadata on the Front End—Dene

   8:30-8:50        Metadata on the Back End—Richard

9. Salon September 14, 2021: Making Digital Glamour: Queer Femme Internet Aesthetics

   This fun, playful, one-hour workshop explores the queer femme aesthetic--and all are welcome!  What’s a queer femme aesthetic? I conceptualize it as a hyper-saturated, self-conscious, postmodern, performative femininity. Glitter, sequins, lip gloss, nail polish, dELiA*s magazine, ‘90s neon pink and slime green. Digitally, the queer femme aesthetic was innovated in spaces like Tumblr and MySpace, with tools like Blingee and Angelfire Dollz. Of course, there is no one definition of a queer/femme digital aesthetic, though I’d argue that the nail polish emoji is pretty key! Queer femme internet aesthetics often intentionally subvert minimalist design principles and usability heuristics, making the user aware of the platform/medium rather than concealing it.

10. Salon: October 12, 2021: Share to Heal Workshop

    Aims of this workshop  

    ·  To share a personal, social or collective story which has impacted us.  

    ·  To exchange stories, which will be randomly assigned to each participant, with the aim of healing the issues, as set out in the story, and take them as inspiration to develop creative proposals. 

    ·  Community building through meaningful conversations

     

    The platform helps to gather, distribute the stories amongst the participants by shuffling them. Each participant is allocated a story from another participant and they are given some time to read the story and come up with a creative proposal, inspired by the issues in question originated from the text, to create a generative poem, create a podcast, an audio piece, a blog, an interactive co-creative piece… you can be as creative and imaginative as you want in creating a proposal!
