Titled «Electronic Literature: Affiliations, Communities, Translations», ELO’17 welcomed dialogues and untold histories of electronic literature, providing a space for discussion about what exchanges, negotiations, and movements we can track in the field of electronic literature. The three threads (Affiliations, Communities, Translations) weaved through the Conference, Festival and Exhibits, structuring dialogue, debate, performances, presentations, and exhibits. The threads were meant as provocations, enabling constraints, and aimed at forming a diagram of electronic literature today and expanding awareness of the history and diversity of the field. Our goal was to contribute to displacing and re-situating accepted views and histories of electronic literature, in order to construct a larger and more expansive field, to map discontinuous textual relations across histories and forms, and to create productive and poetic apparatuses from unexpected combinations.
