PROJECT PARTNERS ELMCIPCONSORTIUM PARTNERS 03
RESEARCH QUESTIONS & OBJECTIVES ¤ Understand how creative communities form and interact through distributed media ¤ Document and evaluate various models and forces of creative commuities in the field of electronic literature ¤ Examine how electronic literature communities benefit from current educational models and develop pedagogical tools ¤ Study how electronic literature manifests in conventional cultural contexts and evaluate the effects of distributing and exhibiting e-lit in such contexts. 04
IMPACT & IMPORTANCE In the USA, the ELO (Electronic Literature Organization) functions as a hub for practictioners and theoreticians of electronic literature. While Europe is hosting key creative, theoretical and scholarly practitioners, events and communities of electronic literature – it still lacks a shared research infrastructure. ELMCIP seeks to gather the multitude of practices and theories in electronic literature, existing in a multi-linguistic and multicultural Europe, in order to create a shared archive and research network. 05
OUTCOMES ¤ Series of case studies and research papers (for publications and conferences) ¤ Series of public seminars ¤ Online knowledge base (materials from seminars, project information and an extensive bibliographic record of e-lit works)¤ Pedagogy workshop and anthology (Resulting in extensive documentation, presented as an accessable website and DVD-ROM) ¤ International conference ¤ Public exhibition of electronic literature artworks and performances ¤ Openly distributed publications(conference proceedings, exhibition catalog, project documentation and a DVD anthology of e-lit works) 06
