Introducing the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base

Abstract

Focusing on a particular creative community, of electronic literature practitioners, the central research question of the ELMCIP collaborative research project is how creative communities of practitioners form within transnational and transcultural contexts, within a globalised and distributed communications environment. We seek to gain insight into and understanding of the social effects and manifestations of creativity. Our research seeks to exploit the characteristics of electronic literature in order to inquire into how a broader range of networked creative communities can develop.
