In EP 14, the 2013 conference Affect & Audience in the Digital Age is documented through dialogues between six participants. Affect & Audience in the Digital Age is a Crossdisciplinary Research Cluster funded by the Simpson Center for the Humanities at the University of Washington.
Excerpt:
From database aesthetics, to online communities, to crowdsourced projects, our invited guests interrogated the relationship of their own work to our titular keywords: Affect & Audience in the Digital Age. This one-day symposium on “scholarly, pedagogical, curatorial, and creative practices that attend to the digitally mediated character of contemporary poetry” was an initial foray into what has become an ongoing collaborative workgroup exploring the intersection of poetry, performance and public scholarship… We chose panelists whose work defies stereotypes of such data-driven or digitally mediated writing as authorless, emotionless and anti-lyrical. In their work, we sense the“powerful feelings” upon which Wordsworth built his poetics, even if the source of these feelings is not the “emotion recollected in tranquility” with which such writing is traditionally associated.
