Digital Literature in France (conference presentation)
The presentation briefly retraces the history of electronic literature in France, emphasizing the various literary and aesthetic tendencies and the corresponding structures (groups, magazines, etc.). The focus then shifts to French electronic literature communities. The presentation notably provides an account of a study that Bouchardon did in 2004-2007 for the Centre Pompidou in Paris (study included in the book "Un laboratoire de littératures", http://editionsdelabibliotheque.bpi.fr/livre/?GCOI=84240100044550). He analyzed a "dispositif" (mailing list, website, meetings) called e-critures, dedicated to electronic literature, with the hypothesis of the co-construction of a "dispositif", a field and a community. The presentation concludes with the possible characteristics of electronic literature in France (which might not be specific to France), both from a literary and from a sociological point of view.

Electronic Literature Organization 2010: Archive & Innovate
The 4th International Conference and Festival of the Electronic Literature Organization, dedicated to Robert Coover.
two overarching themes :
Archive
We are concerned with archive - although not primarily, in the context of this particular gathering, with preservation. (Preservation has been the focus of ELO attention in other contexts and fora.) Here and now we ask: what are the electronic literary, digital poetic works that are worth putting into any institutional archive, and why? What archives exist and how do we use them? What has been done to build the new archive and where is it?

The International Interactive Fiction Community
In this talk, I describe some details of how these communities have functioned over the years: What forums, chat systems, publications, competitions, directories, archives, and other sorts of institutions and traditions are used to build new aesthetic appreciations of IF, to enable people to learn more about programming, design, and writing, and to to connect IF authors and players. My analysis, which draws on my experience as a member of “the IF community” while also considering online artifacts and discourses could be helpful in other electronic literature communities. It will also consider how existing community activity could help to connect IF more effictively with poets, fiction writers, artists, and and others who work in creative computing.

Author's abstract: Everyone wants to be a part of community -? but someone has to break the ice and establish the infrastructure.

Answers include: food, timekeeping, meeting facilitation, psychological tenderness, seating arrangements, theatricality and deep shag carpeting.

Supercritical Creativity
Creative works are treated as a form of property in as much as they are subject to intellectual property laws (IPRs), like copyright. Owning IPRs can therefore be very lucrative and owning the copyrights a key part of what constructs a market in creative works. But creative processes differ from those embedded in a factory or machine (which in certain sense can be considered condensed physical labour) in that it is the processes or outputs of creative thought itself that is being transferred into the IPRs. The thinking actions of the creative actor (and sometimes the tacit knowledge of the workers whose skills are being encoded) are abstracted into the IPR (sometimes through the absorption of the tacit knowledge of experts) and then encoded (stabilized) within the IPR. This is what Hardt and Negri (2000) named “immaterial labour’”, pointing to the way in which contemporary capital increasingly requires that our intellectual labour is alienated in postmodern capitalism.

Catalonian Electronic Literature Communities
Starting with the famous last words of Hamlet “and the rest is silence”, I would like to introduce the Catalan e-?lit communities and their experience of Digital Literature. The Hermeneia Research Group has been one of the pioneers in the field in Spain and has been developing many different activities for the last 10 years. Lately it has been promoting a public debate in Literary Societies on Digital Literature (we will comment the last examples: Premis Octubre in Valencia, 2009, Catalan and Castillian Association of Writers, (AELC/ACEC), Barcelona 2010, Spanish Society of Comparative Literature, Alacant 2010, etc.). Of course the celebration in 2009 of the e-?poetry festival in Barcelona was one of the big events and helped this open debate on the matter. But in this paper there will be a special space for one of this activities that, for
