AB - Electronic Literature Communities is a volume that "collects some excellent essays from two special issues of the online journal Dichtung Digital (41 and 42) that emerged from the Developing a Network-Based Creative Community: Electronic Literature as a Model of Creativity and Innovation in Practice (ELMCIP) joint research project. ELMCIP was a project of the Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA) framework program, under the theme of Creativity and Innovation. . . . The diverse collection of essays you encounter in this volume initially emerged from a seminar on Electronic Literature Communities produced at the University of Bergen in September 2010. Beyond the specific examples presented at that seminar, however at the beginning of 2011, we issued an open call for papers that engaged the broad theme of community-based research in digital artistic practices, with a special focus on electronic literature. This volume presents a number of different types of perspectives on the role and function of community in the practice of contemporary electronic literature, ranging from studies of communities that form around a particular theme, genre or authoring software, to insights into the collaborative dynamics of creating a work with practitioners coming from various disciplines and different nations, to comparisons between
emergent and planned, or institutionally-driven communities." -- Scott Rettberg and Patricia Tomaszek, "Introduction"
