Talk:Electronic literature

message: I've read some articles that articles that claim improvisational theater is a type of literature, so it stands to reason that flashmobs that result in improve theater would qualify. Can anyone help with the source?131.125.58.78 (talk) 18:26, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Impro/flashmobs would only be electronic literature if they incorporate computation in some meaningful way. An early example was 
* Wittig R (1994) Invisible Rendevous: Connection and Collaboration in the New Landscape of Electronic Writing. Middletown, CT: Wesleyan UP.
That book documents INVISIBLE SEATTLE, an electronic bulletin board begun in the mid-Eighties in Seattle that, in turn, gave its name to a collaborative novel of electronically assembled random contributions from the citizenry.
Netprov is a genre of e-lit that creates collaborative online improvisational literature. Online larps could certainly be considered e-lit, but haven't typically been seen that way yet to my knowledge. Some references include 
* Wittig, Rob. Netprov: Networked Improvised Literature for the Classroom and Beyond. Amherst College Press. 2021. doi:10.3998/mpub.12387128
* Burr, Lauren. “Bicycles, Bonfires and an Airport Apocalypse: The Poetics and Ethics of Netprov.” Hyperrhiz: New Media Cultures, no. 11, 2015. doi:10.20415/hyp/011.e01

text: Thanks! There's now a separate article on Netprov, and it's mentioned in this article as well.  Lijil (talk) 14:56, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

message: There is nothing on the history of EL.  A good source is http://dichtung-digital.mewi.unibas.ch/2012/41/walker-rettberg/walker-rettberg.htm. N. Katherine Hayles's Electronic Literature: New Horizons for the Literary and C.T. Funkhouser's Prehistoric Digital Poetry: An Archaeology of Forms, 1959-1995 should also be used for writing a history.Kdammers (talk) 08:07, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I see somebody added a lot of history, but it needs fixing - the predecessors section is about ebooks and audio books, not e-lit, and the rest is mostly about games. I don't currently have time to edit, but this is something that needs attention. Lijil (talk) 21:26, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for editing so much on the history. We are working on this as well. I'll get to the New Media Reader from Noah Wardrip Fruin and Nick Monfort as a source as soon as I can. LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 20:04, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh and of course we need to cite Leonardo Flores theory of the three web generations. Just a reminder to me. LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 20:06, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
