Cultural Mechanics

The Baudelaire Song Project aims to research all the song settings ever of poems by famous French poet Charles Baudelaire, building a pioneering digital dataset which brings together for the first time both pop music and classical music settings of Baudelaire's verse and prose poetry, totalling 200+ poem texts. I speak with Prof. Helen Abbott and Dr Caroline Ardrey about the project, and what it means for the ways in which we examine literature and music.

A recording of the "Feminist Horizons" panel at this year's annual gathering of the Electronic Literature Organisation, ELO2016, hosted at the University of Victoria. Featuring presentations by leading e-lit scholars and practitioners, Kathi Inman Berens, Caitlin Fisher, and Jessica Pressman. The session was chaired by Anastasia Salter.

Colleen Renihan, Andrew Prellwitz, and Liam Murphy interview Alyssa Arbuckle, Diane Jakacki, and Ray Siemens about the annual Digital Humanities Summer Institute. Furthermore, they speak to a few of the field's many voices, who share exactly what it is that DH means to them.

I speak with Alice Bell, Reader Reader in English Language and Literature at Sheffield Hallam University, on digital fiction, and her research in the field.

In December 2015, I met with Michael Maguire, and had a conversation with him about his work as a digital artist and author of electronic literature. I am currently writing extensively on e-lit in Ireland, and indeed on Maguire's work, and will post further relevant materials in the near future.
