Editors’ Choice: Digital Humanities & Cultural Heritage, or, The Opposite of Argumentation
Back in August, Miriam Posner’s post “What are some challenges to doing DH in the library?” initiated a wide-ranging conversation in the blogosphere examining the relationship between DH and libraries.

CFP: Electronic Literature Organization, 2013 Paris
The conference title is “Chercher le Texte: Locating the Text in Electronic Literature.” Electronic literature is explicitly defined as literature. Yet there is great confusion about the concept of text at work in it. What defines the textuality of games, visual works, and works without any evident language?
