2. Literature and the Digital Society

   There is no doubt today that computer science impacts strongly on literature. New forms have been created, works are abundant, and dynamic university has built a strong, specific field of research. The complexity of the field requires a multidisciplinary approach involving specialists in literature, communication, hypermedia, and the art.

   Along with the development of this field, innovative educational activities to teach this literature are being developed. Thecomputer also offers powerful tools to transcribe and transmit in digital form works originally intended for other media. More generally, the relationship between computers and literature creates social benefits by offering new ways to read and write,a new "being together" around a work.

   All these activities have been changing rapidly in recent years and the European workshop "Literature and Digital Society" aims to bring together researchers operating in different contexts and to federate them in a European network.

3. Digital Scholarly Communication

   HASTAC´s conference on Digital Scholarly Communication showed why and how we cannot change the academic message without transforming the medium. And vice versa. The gathering experimented with an array of new forms and formats designed not just to discuss those three terms--digital, scholarly, communication--but to show how they work together to change one another and, indeed, to contribute to the transformation of higher education more generally. Bringing together voices from many sectors of the academy in a variety of new formats, this conference presages powerful new possibilities for interdisciplinary, interactive, and multimedia research and communication both in the academy and for the general public.

4. Getting Started in the Digital Humanities with DHCommons

   Digital methodologies and new media are changing the landscape of research and teaching in modern languages and literatures. Scholars can now computationally analyze entire corpora of texts or preserve and share materials through digital archives. Students can engage in authentic applied research linking text to place, or study Shakespeare in a virtual Globe Theater. In the face of all the digital humanities buzz--from the MLA to the New York Times to Twitter--where can scholars interested in the field turn to get started? This three-hour preconvention workshop welcomes language and literature scholars who wish to learn about, start, or join digital scholarly projects for research and/or teaching. Representatives of major digital humanities projects and initiatives will share their expertise on project design, available resources and opportunities, lead small-group training sessions on technologies and skills to help participants get started, and be available for follow-up one-on-one consultations later in the day.

6. MACHINE reading series

   In a series of events between 2004-2007, MACHINE showcased the literary uses of the computer. Poets, fiction writers, and others have been combining the networked and computational capabilities of digital machines with the workings of literature to produce new sorts of writing that exists online and on-screen: writing that plays on the context of the Internet, requires interaction and input from the reader, and brings many different media together in new ways. MACHINE, was a series co-sponsored by the Electronic Literature Organization in which writers of electronic literature came to the Kelly Writers House to read from and demonstrate their work, and to discuss the literary uses of the computer with area writers and members of the Penn community.

   Members of the MACHINE Team: Charles Bernstein, Jim Carpenter, Cecilia Corrigan, Steve McLaughlin, Nick Montfort, and Catherine Turcich-Kealey.

8. Digitale Kunst in der Bibliothek - Digital Art in the Library

   Das Ende des Gutenbergzeitalters ist längst ausgerufen und Medienhistoriker konstatieren eine Entwicklung von Medien des Sinns (Schrift, Buch) zu Medien der Sinne (Fotografie, Film). Der Computer erschien in seiner textbasierten Anfangszeit als Revanche des Wortes am Fernsehen. Inzwischen gibt es Fernsehen auch im Internet. Schlechte Zeiten für den Text? Die neuen Medien führen auch zu neuen Formen der Textnutzung: interaktiv, effektvoll, dekorativ, oft eher darauf aus, mit dem Text zu spielen als ihn zu lesen. Die Ausstellungsreihe "Digitale Kunst in der Bibliothek" zeigt einige davon, beginnend mit "Overboard", einem Beispiel für animierte konkrete Poesie.

   Mittwoch 28. März um 18:15 Uhr 
   im Katalogsaal der UB: Ausstellungseröffnung "Overboard" von John Cayley und Buchvernissage: "Textmaschinen - Kinetische Poesie - Interaktive Installation" von Prof. Dr. Roberto Simanowski. Anschliessend Apéro.

10. &Now Festival (Event Series)

    &NOW is a biennial traveling festival/conference that celebrates writing as a contemporary art form: literary art as it is practiced today by authors who consciously treat their work as a process that is aware of its own literary and extra-literary history, that is as much about its form and materials, language, communities, and practice as it is about its subject matter.

    &NOW brings together a wide range of writers who are interested in exploring the possibilities of form and the limits of language and other literary modes and who are interested in literature that emphasizes text as a medium, that investigates the essential emptiness of language, and that articulates an assumption that literary form both reflects and emerges from its location in time, forming multiple associations within competing matrices of power and value.
