ELO2019: Electronic Literature Organization Conference & Media Arts Festival [Poster]

Abstract

The annual Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) Conference & Media Arts Festival was held at University College Cork in July 2019. This was the first time that the ELO conference, one of the major international gatherings of scholars and practitioners working at the intersection between literature and new media aesthetics, was hosted in Ireland. The theme for ELO2019 was "peripheries", with delegates invited to explore the edges of literary and digital culture, including emerging traditions, indeterminate structures and processes, fringe communities of praxis, effaced forms and genres, marginalised bodies, and perceptual failings. The Chair of ELO2019 was Dr James O'Sullivan (School of English & Digital Humanities).
