Highlighting databases in electronic literature with the community in our showcase day.

This year, the annual CELL event will be online, which is the perfect opportunity to highlight databases in electronic literature with the community. Much essential database work is done around the world and it is vital that we know of eachothers' work to incorporate it into our teaching, research, and creative work. We have all built up different expertise on databases in our field, which also gives us the opportunity to help and advice one another. 

September 10 is Showcase Day. We will showcase the CELL Index, and we invited everyone with an e-lit database project to submit a presentation to showcase it for the e-lit community, especially if your database is in its early stages, non-English and/or relatively unknown in the community. There will be information for database coordinators looking into joining CELL as well.

The Consortium of Electronic Literature (CELL) is a cross-database collaboration in the field of electronic literature. Currently, CELL is hosted and led by the Center for Digital Narrative (CDN) at the University of Bergen, Norway, in collaboration with all member databases.

About the Center for Digital Narrative (CDN)

CDN is a Norwegian Centre of Research Excellence funded by the Norwegian Research Council from 2023-2033. CDN focuses on algorithmic narrativity, new environments and materialities, and shifting cultural contexts. We will investigate how the interactions of human authors with non-human agents result in new narrative forms, how the materiality of digital narratives has changed, and how cultural contexts are reshaping the use and function of digital narrative. 

CDN hosts approximately 40 funded and affiliated researchers and regularly hosts international guest researchers at all career stages.
