Electronic Literature in the University
Commentary on the "Electronic Literature in the University Panel" at the 2002 Electronic Literature Symposium: State of the Arts, organized by the Electronic Literature Organization and hosted by the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) . Larry McCaffery moderated the panel, which featured Loss Pequeño Glazier, Alan Liu, Sue Thomas, and Victoria Vesna. Panelists discussed challenges facing academics trying to integrate electronic literature within existing arts and humanities programs, where electronic literature was most likely to find institutional support within university systems, the need for accessible, well-designed digital archives, and the dangers that interdisciplinary e-lit scholars might encounter.
