Eine Theorie der Medienumbrüche 1900/2000
Nicola Glaubitz, Henning Groscurth, Katja Hoffmann, Jörgen Schäfer, Jens Schröter, Gregor Schwering und Jochen Venus:
Eine Theorie der Medienumbrüche 1900/2000
202 Seiten, EUR 4.00
Das Buch versteht sich als ein Diskussionsbeitrag zur medienhistoriographischen Methodik. Unser Ziel war es, einen Weg zu finden zwischen der sensiblen und dichten Beschreibung heterogener historischer Medienpraktiken und einer Begrifflichkeit, die Orientierung verschafft sowie Differenzen und Veränderungen hinreichend pointiert. Wir hoffen, mit unseren Begriffen die Umbrüche, die mit dem Auftreten neuer Medien verbunden werden, jenseits von Evolutionismus und Revolutionismus beschreiben zu können.
Da alle Texte in intensiver Diskussion der Arbeitsgruppe entstanden sind, versteht sich das vorliegende Buch als gemeinsame (!!!) Monographie von Nicola Glaubitz, Henning Groscurth, Katja Hoffmann, Jörgen Schäfer, Jens Schröter, Gregor Schwering und Jochen Venus. Das Buch spiegelt auch manche offene Frage wider, der manchmal kontroverse Prozess der konzeptuellen Arbeit zeigt sich auch in manchem offenen Ende und losen Faden. Das Buch zeigt aber auch, dass Teamwork kein leeres Wort sein muss. Es ist Zeugnis einer sehr produktiven und von Freundschaft geprägten Zeit.

CELL International Workshop on Databases and Bibliographic Standards for Electronic Literature in Bergen, June 20-21st
This CELL workshop is a follow-up of the meeting we held in Sydney last December. It presents international projects that document, curate, and present research on electronic literature: born-digital literary forms such as hypertext fiction, kinetic poetry, interactive drama, location-based narrative, multimedia literary installations, and other types of poetic experiences made for the networked computer.
Since June of 2010, as part of the HERA-funded ELMCIP Project, the University of Bergen's Electronic Literature Research Group has been developing the ELMCIP Knowledge Base (http://elmcip.net/knowledgebase), a platform positioned to become one of the leading research tools in this area of the digital humanities.
The primary goal of the workshop is to bring together members of several international projects working on the documentation of electronic literature. Representives of projects from the United States, Canada, Portugal, Germany, Spain, Australia, and Norway will gather to pubicly present work on their projects, and to discuss how to best establish an international research infrastructure for the field.
Among the goals of the workshop will be the establishment of a standardized set of bibliographic fields used to describe works of electronic literature, and to work towards implementation of data-sharing arrangements between databases. Participants will include humanities researchers, research librarians, and digital-humanities developers, so that we can both conceptualize and begin implementing standards in all the databases concerned.

Electronic Literature Pedagogy, June 15-17, 2011
hosted by Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlskrona, Sweden, June 15-17, 2011.
This workshop aims to examine the educational models of the study and practice of electronic literature that exist in Europe. Currently, there are relatively few European examples of such courses and programs. Such courses exist in a diverse range of disciplinary contexts and thus courses are informed by different theoretical and practical traditions. Therefore, the workshop will serve to both map and consolidate the educational models in practice in Europe today and to build upon shared experiences and knowledge so as to further develop educational models and policies in European higher education. The title of my presentation is "In Search of Sustainability: Institutional and Curricular Limitations of Teaching Electronic Literature."
