1. Histories and Genres of Electronic Literature

   This lightning talk will be a presentation of a new book by Scott Rettberg, Electronic Literature, forthcoming from Polity Press in Autumn 2018. Electronic literature has rapidly developed as a field of creative practice, academic research, and pedagogy. A growing concentration of critical and theoretical activity in electronic literature has corresponded to similar growth in the corpus of creative work in the international field. With few exceptions however the research monographs have been narrow in focus and aimed at specialist researchers. University teachers in the field have had to cobble together reading lists with no core text available for adoption. There has until now however been a significant lack in the literature of the field: few books so far have attempted to constitute electronic literature in a broad sense as a subject in totality.

5. Third Generation Electronic Literature

   We are witnessing the emergence of a third generation of electronic literature, one that breaks with the publishing paradigms and e-literatury traditions of the past and present.

   N. Katherine Hayles first historicized electronic literature by establishing 1995 as the break point between a text heavy and link driven first generation and a multimodal second generation “with a wide variety of navigation schemes and interface metaphors” (“Electronic Literature: What Is It?”). Even though Hayles has since rebranded the first wave of electronic literature as “classical,” generational demarcations are still useful, especially when enriching the first generation with pre-Web genres described by Christopher Funkhouser in ​Prehistoric Digital Poetry​ and others. My paper redefines the second generation as one aligned with Modernist poetics of innovation by creating interfaces and multimodal works in which form is invented to fit content.
