[…]produced seminal scholarship on Agrippa. Matthew Kirschenbaum, Joseph Tabbi, and Alan Liu and his group at The Agrippa Files have done extensive work in tracking the chronology and cracking the code. Stuart Moulthrop points out that “Agrippa seems to me very nostalgic for the age of print. . . Second, with all respect and seriousness, Agrippa is a piece of High Concept.” What is notable, though, about this work, is the minimal interest in the poem itself. Thus, while the entirety of the text exists on Gibson’s Website, little of the scholarly investigation has focused on this: The string he tied […]
[…]within this series, along with works having little to no relation with e-lit. What do these case studies mean for critical scholarship on e-lit? Of course, these book series will continue, but for there to be a discourse and growing field of electronic literature, there must be a place to incubate and disseminate critical scholarship that emphasizes e-lit as literature. Our analysis of these examples is not to dismiss or disparage these series. Their contributions are unquestionable. Rather, we want to highlight the way the discursive framing of scholarly publications determines the field of statements possible to make about the […]
[…]they can be borrowed and repurposed in a variety of ways, with no regard for who thought the code into being. Instead, the power of the code is registered by its application, and the measure of its authority is in its execution, not in the personality that sits behind it or even directs its use. A sloppy bit of code written by “Bill Gates” simply will not work, no matter how important the man might be. And, once a functional code is in use, it becomes very difficult to dispute the moral character of its outcomes because there is nobody […]
[…]in my approach to language, due to the sheer amount of time I’ve spent in front of screens and working with code. My memory and conceptions of space and time are imprinted with the logics of digital systems. But all language is slippery, or course, and the term ‘electronic literature’ is a useful one. I’m not making a case for its obsolescence. Rather I’m interested in taking the above as a place to start thinking about the future of the term and organization in tandem. One complaint I’ve heard often in the ELO community, and justifiably so, is that other, […]
[…]standpoint of collective behavior, there’s a crucial junction that every successful movement or group comes to in its lifetime: what do we (the movement or group) do to meet our goal? From this perspective, there are two choices: assimilate into the institution in which you are trying to affect change, or fade into oblivion knowing that the goal–whatever it was– was completed. When looking forward to the future of ELO, it makes the most sense to me that the organization moves to become sutured into the institution of literary and media studies. While the organization is definitely (not) limited to […]
[…]considering that proponents of the cultural turn (i.e., post-structuralism, social constructivism, critical race studies) occasionally reduce the sciences to their most deterministic, teleological, and imperialistic iterations. In this respect, the collection shares with recent theories of new materialism the “sense that the radicalism of the dominant discourses which have flourished under the cultural turn is now more or less exhausted” (Coole and Frost 6). And yet, because the “conflicts of interest…between social classes or nations” and “academic critique[s] of power” include the fundamental concerns of people of color, to denigrate these as “fashionable” or “no more than a shifting of […]
[…]opportunity for cross reference, and thus the dissemination and reviewing of both creative and critical works. Also the description passage in English helps open and create interest to multilingual e-writing practices. However, the KB still doesn’t allow to engage with the wider literary community interested in translating and capable of it. In this respect Translating E-lit conference at Paris 8 is a significant leap forward. Seemingly perfect solution should be found in attracting grants for translation projects, making the translation conference annual and/or including a permanent panel on translation to the ELO. However, it is only one side of the […]
[…]the extra-functional, machinic history appending each and every technological inscription encoded today, we continue to simultaneously ignore and overestimate our position as the subject of history. Human consciousness, as a lens, seems at once too general and too specific to capture the magnitude and minitude of historical inscription. The future of the Electronic Literature Organization, then, is not merely contingent on the discussion generated from conference panels nor the artistic and literary intentions of its members’ projects, but is constantly co-written by computational collaborators. In some sense, works of electronic literature, e-poetry, and digital art operate according to the same […]
[…]to the poetic to the theoretical, the following [insert number] short statements were made by a group of emerging artists, scholars, and practitioners from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. (The following comments were delivered as part of the panel “Futures of Electronic Literature” at the 2012 Electronic Literature Organization conference in Morgantown, West Virginia. Audio of this presentation can be found at: http://harp.njit.edu/~funkhous/chercher/audio/borsuk-amaranth/borsuk-ELO_1.mp3) I’ll keep my comments brief, but I would like to preface them by giving you a sense of my stake in the future of the ELO, as both a scholar and a practitioner. There are three things […]
[…]Digital Modernism shows how the close reading of a difficult digital text can lead its reader to a critical stance about the digital world in general. “Reading Code” focuses on Erik Loyer’s Chroma, a story about the quest for a universal language. In Chroma, the fantasy of universal language is revealed to be fundamentally anti-universal, itself encoded with specific ideas about race, gender, culture, and class. The story revolves around three young people who are sent into the realm of “mnemonos,” “where the things of the mind appear as real as anything your five senses perceive” (Loyer, qtd. Pressman 128).
