(eds.) »Digital
media« is increasingly finding its
way into the discussions of the humanities
classroom. But while we have a number of
grand theoretical texts about digital
literature we as yet have little in the
way of resources for discussing the
down-to-earth practices of research,
teaching, and curriculum necessary for
this work to mature. This book presents
contributions by scholars and teachers
from different countries and academic
environments who articulate their approach
to the study and teaching of digital
literature and thus give a broader
audience an idea of the state-of-the-art
of the subject matter also in
international comparison. Jörgen
Schäfer (Dr. phil.) is Postdoctoral
Research Fellow at the Cultural Studies
Research Center »Media
Upheavals«
(»Medienumbrüche«) at the
University of Siegen. Peter
Gendolla (Prof. Dr.) is Professor of
Literature, Art, New Media and
Technologies and Director of the Cultural
Studies Research Center »Media
Upheavals«
(»Medienumbrüche«) at the
University of Siegen.
