1. "The Digital Subject: Questioning Hypermnesia" - International and Transdisciplinary Conference

   Les technologies numériques d’inscription et de préservation permettent aujourd’hui de constituer d’importantes archives électroniques, des bases de données complexes et favorisent l’apparition de nouvelles pratiques d’archivage du savoir, comme les encyclopédies collaboratives. Un tel développement technique contient en germe une reconfiguration profonde du rapport humain au monde et au savoir mais aussi sans doute une mutation de notion même de sujet humain.

   Préfigurée dès les années 30 dans les travaux d’H G Wells (World Brain, 1937) ou ceux de Borges (« Funes el memorioso », 1944), le motif de l’hypermnésie, récurrent au sein des récits de science-fiction, essaime au sein d’autres formes littéraires, qu’il s’agisse de romans édités de manière traditionnelle ou d’œuvres littéraires sur support électronique. Parallèlement, la possibilité d’une extériorisation et d’une extension de la mémoire est un élément central dans des théories philosophiques contemporaines, notamment celle de « l’esprit étendu », de deux côtés de la frontière entre philosophies analytiques et continentales.

2. Workshop on Curating and Exhibiting Electronic Literature

   This workshop, which will include participants from Bergen cultural institutions and UiB researchers, as well as international expert speakers, is intended to examine the growing trend towards the exhibition of electronic literature in art venues, such as museums and galleries, and to examine models of curating and exhibiting electronic literature in these environments. In addition to providing an opportunity for discussion and analysis of what happens to the situation of digital literary artifacts when they are presented in gallery environments, this workshop will provide an important planning opportunity.

3. .ran - real audio netliterature

   When talking about internet and radio the term "radio theory" almost inevitably occurs. In 1927, Brecht had postulated:

   "to make radio a really democratic thing" and "to turn broadcasting from a distribution apparatus into a communication apparatus".
   [Bertolt Brecht, Complete Works, VIII, S.129].

   In other words, Brecht claimed a retour channel for the radio, a possibility to react for the listeners. And this retour channel, the possibility to interact for users in the Brechtian sense, seems to be consequently implemented with the internet for the first time ever. Alone due to the fact that every single information exchange on the web is bidirectional already on the level of protocols.

5. Exploring Paratexts in Digital Contexts

   This day-long workshop revolves around the notion of paratext, a literary theory first presented by French narratologist Gérard Genette in 1987 (Seuils / English translation "Paratexts. Thresholds of Interpretation" 1997).
   Originally envisioned in relation to manuscripts and printed text, the theory of paratext ambitioned to describe how texts materialise through the distribution and presentation of textual and contextual information that accompanies and structures text.
   In digital contexts, the paratextual dimension tends to exhibit new qualities.This workshop focuses on paratext theory in digital realms and explore how paratext may offer a common ground for scholars in information and library science and in other humanistic disciplines.

7. Digital Methods Winter School 2013 and Mini-Conference

   The 2013 Digital Methods Winter School is devoted to emerging alternatives to big data. The Barcamp, Hackathon, Hack Day, Edit-a-thon, Data Sprint, Code Fest, Open Data Day, Hack the Government, and other workshop formats are sometimes thought of as "quick and dirty." The work is exploratory, only the first step, outputting indicators at most, before the serious research begins. However, these new formats also may be viewed as alternative infrastructures as well as approaches to big data in the sense of not only the equipment and logistics involved (hit and run) but also the research set-up and protocols, which may be referred to as "short-form method." The 2013 Digital Methods Winter School is dedicated to the outcomes and critiques of short-form method, and is also reflexive in that it includes a data sprint, where we focus on one aspect of the debate about short- vs. long-form method: data capture. To begin, at the Winter School the results of a data sprint from a week earlier (on counter-Jihadists) will be presented, including a specific short-form method for issue mapping.
