CALL FOR PAPERS AND WORKS

On behalf of the scientific committee and Prof. Glazier, President of the E-poetry Festival, I am glad to inform you about the 5th edition of the E-Poetry Festival, which will take place in Barcelona in 2009 (May 24th-27th) at the Universitat Obertat de Catalunya (UOC) hosted by the Hermeneia Research Group.

E-Poetry is both a conference and a festival. The festival is the most significant digital literary gathering in the field. Authors and researchers worldwide meet and present their researches and works. This will permit researchers to present their latest research and artists to premier their newest works. A selection of the papers will be published after the conference following the peer review system and we will also like to publish proceedings of the conference. Artistic events will take place at key Barcelona venues such as the Barcelona Center for Contemporary Culture (CCCB: http://www.cccb.org/en/ ), providing authors the opportunity to present their works to a public curious about new literary and artistic trends employing technology and communication during the Setmana de la Poesia, that is also sharing a part of our artistic program.

Katherine Hayles (Duke University), Roberto Simanowski (Brown University) and Jean Clément (Université Paris 8) have already accepted to be key-note speakers.

Hoping to hear from you soon.
