1. 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.

2. 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

4. Electronic Literature Publishing in Europe: Sample Cases from Finland

   The publication of electronic literature, globally, has taken place outside of the traditional literary publishing field. The main modes have been either self publication by the authors, or, literary online magazines and portals. E-­lit competitions have played also a role. In a situation where no established publication system exists, the authors have had to invent new publication strategies. The activity has been characterised by noncommerciality, collegialism, and close
   connection to academia. Publication of electronic literature has often been happening side by side with critical writing on electronic media. Also, a considerable amount of electronic writing is such by nature, that it comes close to visual and auditive arts. It has then found publication channels through these non-­?literary connections: many of the works have been presented in art gallery settings.
   In our project, an investigation on organized European electronic literature publication and distribution will be carried on. This means that self-­?publication by authors will be excluded. The investigation will cover the following forms:

8. Genre, Form, and Cultural Practice in Contemporary Electronic Literature

   “Born Digital: Writing in Digital Media” examines practices of digital literary writing. Through “close reading” of digital works Engberg argues that digital poetry has characteristics that take it beyond the bounds of the poem as a traditional literary artifact. Digital poems offer themselves as “poemevents” that are enacted in ways particular to the digital medium. On the one hand, digital poetry (as well as literary and artistic digital works in general) can be considered in literary and artistic traditions such as concrete poetry, language poetry etc, and thus requires the literary-critical community’s response. On the other hand, it is also increasingly evident that “digital writing” exists in multifarious and emergent forms that require an expanded way of analyzing which is rooted in the individual poetics of the practitioners as well as the cultural and technological situation of networked digital media today. The paper addresses possible critical responses to this dialectic of past and present, avant-garde and popular, influenced in particular by Johanna Drucker’s discussion of complicity (Sweet Dreams, 2005).
