Rather than offering a prescriptive definition of electronic literature, this book takes an ontological approach through descriptive exploration, treating electronic literature from the perspective of the digital humanities (DH)––that is, as an area of scholarship and practice that exists at the juncture between the literary and the algorithmic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe domain of DH is typically segmented into the two seemingly disparate strands of criticism and building, with scholars either studying the synthesis between cultural expression and screens or the use of technology to make artifacts in themselves. This book regards electronic literature as fundamentally DH in that it synthesizes these two constituents. \u003ci\u003eElectronic Literature as Digital Humanities \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a context for the development of the field, informed by the forms and practices that have emerged throughout the DH moment, and finally, offers resources for others interested in learning more about electronic literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This book connects, indeed makes inextricable, the cutting-edge fields of electronic literature and digital humanities. Situating work by pioneers in the field of electronic literature alongside emergent artists and scholars from around the world, the book draws a transversal and provides new ways of approaching born-digital literature through a focus on contexts (social, institutional, theoretical), forms (aesthetic, poetic, medial), and practices (pedagogy, preservation, publishing). This is a book that can be used for teaching students of all levels interested in understanding the current state of literary studies.” —\u003ci\u003eJessica Pressman, Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature, San Diego State University, USA\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“As digital humanities scholarship becomes increasingly involved with digital arts and culture, this publication offers a treasure trove of examples of the integration of these fields. In their collection, \u003ci\u003eElectronic Literature as Digital Humanities: Contexts, Forms, and Practices\u003c\/i\u003e, Dene Grigar and James O'Sullivan have assembled a variety of scholarly approaches to the natural relationship between electronic literature and digital humanities. The essays expand on traditional strategies in humanities research such as deep history, tracing both the print and computer origins of e-lit, and the extent of global presence. The works also examine remarkable instances of digital practice and form. The scope and the specificity of the book make it an excellent resource for researchers.” —\u003ci\u003eM.D. Coverley, author of Califia (2000)\/\/Marjorie Coverley Luesebrink, Electronic Literature Organization, USA\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781501363504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40799449743566,"sku":"9781501363504","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_b4528dcb-5da8-44a4-9bae-bac8f75e8a42.jpg?v=1642493328","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781501363504","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
