1. Webessay

   What happens with an essay when it abandons the set form of book pages, and steps out into the internet's virtual space? Webessay is an invitation into a digital meta-essay: an enormous text-tapestry of quotations, photos, rt and music produced from the two essayists associations and personal library, and arranged into four metaphorical trips: the scientific expedition, the internal journey, the big city holiday, and space tourism. The travelers move past over fifty different stops in all, and are sketched out with the help of many hundreds of airmail-striped envelopes. The program is organized so that the traveler can follow the predetermined routes' tracks, or take a spontaneous trip with the help of self-selected links. You can search in the depths, surf freely away in a labyrinth of hypertexts, or you can choose to be led by the webessay's composition. You're guaranteed to get lost, and find something you weren't expecting.

2. Kjærstad, hyperroman og hieroglyffer

   Jan Kjærstads seneste roman Tegn til Kærlighed handler om at finde de magiske skrifttegn, som fører til kærlighedens lige så magiske kraftfelt. Bogen går amok i bogstavernes taktile verden og deres religiøse betydningsindhold. Samtidig er romanens sætninger fyldt med ladede detaljer, hvor næsten hvert ord rummer en “linkmulighed”. Karen Wagner trækker i sit essay tråde til Kjærstads egne overvejelser om romanen i internettets tidsalder - og til den netop udkomne danske udgave af Nøgle til de ægyptiske hieroglyffer.

3. Bringing Scandinavian E-Lit in from the Edges

   For centuries, Scandinavia comprised the “ends of the Earth” to continental Europeans. As A. E. Nordenskiöld’s 1889 Facsimile-Atlas notes, “Until the middle of the 16th century…geographers took no notice of what was situated beyond lat 63° N….” (54). Today’s e-lit map might look similar. Although Scandinavia produces many creative e-lit works, a relatively small number of critics have investigated them. It is likely that Scandinavian e-lit eludes most e-lit scholars because Scandinavian languages are less familiar than English, French, German, or Spanish. However, there are also a number of excellent works of Scandinavian e-lit in English. This talk will highlight some of these, such as Anders Bojen and Kristoffer Ørum’s Radiant Copenhagen. Radiant Copenhagen is a closed-loop work that plays brilliantly with multiple timelines, incorporating visual and textual elements. The reader navigates a geomap of Copenhagen to read a multiplicity of articles about the capital city.
