5. A Vida Secreta dos Objetos: Materialidades, Medialidades, Temporalidades

   There are strong indications that a significant transformation is underway in the so-called “human sciences” (Geisteswissenschaften, sciences humaines, Humanities). After a period of intense crisis and uncertainty, in which human sciences have frequently sought to mirror or approach the hard sciences, the beginning of the twenty-first century seems to witness a broad renewal of disciplines, approaches and methodologies. From the questioning of its traditional foundations, humanities are reinventing themselves by a broad reconfiguration of its borders and even of the notion of “humanity” that served as its cornerstone. One of the areas where the wealth of this new scenario is most clearly displayed is that of media studies. Spurred by the impact of new digital technologies, media studies cleverly learned to appropriate the epistemological principles and major theoretical issues that have come to characterize the contemporary cultural scene.

6. "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.

7. 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.

8. .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.

10. 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.
