Call for Papers

Hybrid Storyspaces:
Redefining the Critical Enterprise
in Twenty-First Century Hispanic Literature

An Interactive, Multimedia Conference @
Cornell University, April 30th - May1st, 2010

The speed of adaptation to new communication and network possibilities have left the majority of culture critics and literary scholars struggling to find meaningful technical and theoretical language to engage the relation of new media to print culture. The goal of this conference is to rethink transnational Hispanic literary theory and practice, taking into account the evolving literary forms of our time. We will examine the contributions to text and theory suggested by new, hybrid storyspaces, including the effects on narrative of new televisual and cybernetic media spaces (reality television, YouTube, blogs, Google, yahoo jukebox), new genres (video clip novels, zapping fiction, docufiction), and new pedagogies (how media is shaping our critical universe).

A Hybrid Conference Format:

In line with the theoretical goal of this conference, we highly encourage a hybrid presentation format. We ask that participants not present papers at this conference, but rather create interactive and/or multimedia presentations whose goal it is to enter into physical and virtual dialogue with one another. For this purpose, we are not limiting presentations to 20 minutes, but ask you to propose a time limit and a format that is appropriate to your presentation content and format. We encourage interdisciplinary, collaborative and interactive presentations—live wires and ideas in motion rather than fixed and finished products.

This conference will be virtually enhanced through an interactive website. This interface (similar to an igoogle page) will be easy to use and it will allow all participants to share information about themselves and their projects, to participate in live blogs and chats, and to share visual and textual support material before their presentations.

Abstracts are due January 15th, 2010

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

What is Google Doing in My Text?
• Fiction 2.0 -or- 3.0?
• How are Blogs Redefining the Text, the Role of the Writer, Fan, and Critic?
• How is the Creative Commons, Open Source Changing our Creative and Critical Approaches to
Hispanic Literature?
• Where is the Reality in this Fiction?
• Second Textual/Sexual Lives: The Self in Virtual Spaces
• Centering the Marginal/Marginalizing the Center
• Media Literacy in the Digital Age
• The Nomad Subject and the Traveling Text
• Hybrid Genres
• Interactive Fiction
• YouTube / YouText

Fundación Adopte a un Escritor: Manifiesto Introducible - Rubén Bonet

Este manifiesto y otras linduras en Jaikús maniacos,

nuevo y esperado libro del compa Bonet.

"Primer libro de la nueva época de la EDITORIAL MOHO. El mito de Rubén Bonet lo sobrepasa: escritor maldito e insoportable, artista subterráneo y sobreviviente de todas las batallas. Jaikús maniacos (reunión de escritos lúdicos y anarquistas) representa su personal regreso a escena"

A través de un post de Kenneth Goldsmith me entero de que "A", el mítico libro-mundo de Louis Zukofsky, deambula por la red en PDF, a pesar de las absurdas diatribas de Paul Z. para proteger los derechos de autor de su padre.

Signos de la amnesia voluntaria

de Benjamín Moreno

30 de octubre de 2009, 19 hrs.

Centro de Arte Bernardo Quintana
Querétaro, Qro.

"Signos de la amnesia voluntaria es la historia de la muerte de un patriarca y las consecuencias que esto desencadena en el entorno familiar. Miguel, quien da voz a la historia, es un niño cuya infancia está marcada por la separación de sus padres y la muerte de su abuelo. El hilo que va uniendo su diálogo con los adultos y la descripción de un entorno íntimo, permite al lector reconstruir una historia a partir de distintas versiones de los hechos narrados por los personajes.

Benjamín R. Moreno se introduce en un entorno íntimo, como un diario personal donde desarrolla una historia a partir de monólogos, extractos de diálogos, crítica, fragmentos y una relación cercana a los objetos circunstanciales que rodea a los personajes."

He estado tomando algunas notas sobre Mouchette con la intención de armar un texto breve. Quizás lo cuelgue aquí o lo mande a alguna revista. A pesar de ser prácticamente una reliquia digital, esta pieza me sigue intrigando; por momentos no sé si seguir haciendo clic o salir (¿de dónde?). ¿Qué les sugiere? ¿Les mueve algo?
