Re-mediating Literature
My expensive typewriter‘s email program recently popped up with the CFP (deadline November 6) for a digital literature conference in the Netherlands with an impressive lineup of keynotes:
An international conference on literature and the new media entitled Re-mediating Literature will take place at Utrecht University (the Netherlands) 4-6 July 2007, with keynote speakers Katherine Hayles, Marie-Laure Ryan, Jan Baetens, and Samuel Weber. The aim of this conference is to examine how technological changes have affected the ‘old’ medium of literature in the present (digital media) and the past (writing machines, film, radio, phonograph, grammophone, television). Our website features all relevant information concerning the conference including the call for papers (deadline is November 6, 2006):
