Electronic Literature: Reimagining Digital Tools in/and the Humanities
In my PhD project, I study the social and technological aspects of the digital practices by scholars in the field of electronic literature in order to provide new insights into the importance of digital tools as theory-building methodologies in the humanities. I distinguish three intertwined attributes of digital tools that shape research practices and outcomes: Databases (storing), Experimentation (playing), and Platforms (showing).
