>> Welcome to Writing and the Digital Life.
>>
>> This list is now open. You are warmly invited to introduce yourself and
>your
>> projects. Where are you based? What is your interest in Writing and the
>> Digital Life? What are the burning issues for you? What would you like us
>> to talk about?
>>
>> There will be a new discussion topic on or around the first of each month,
>> but you are also free to post news and other items of interest. The first
>> topic will be announced on 1st May 2005.
>>
>> _What is the purpose of this list?
>> Text, in whatever language or script, is the passport to digital life.
>> Without it we cannot use email, web content, chat, discussion boards, or
>> instant messaging. In the ecology of global connectedness it is vital we
>> understand how writing and reading are being used, extended and changed.
>>
>> This list will explore the impact of digital technologies upon writing and
>> lived experience within an interdisciplinary context. We will talk about
>the
>> relationship of writing and reading in the context of many subjects
>> including 'new and old' media; craft, art, process and practice; social
>> networks; cooperation and collaboration; narrative and memory; human
>> computer interaction; imagination; nature; mind; body, and spirit.
>> Contributions related to research, writing and teaching in the arts,
>> sciences, and humanities are all welcome.
>>
>> _Isn't that rather ambitious? Can't you narrow it down a little?
>> No. The field is enormous but if we try to limit the focus important
>> connections will be lost. The list operates on the principle of the
>> cornucopia of the commons where - to quote from Dan Bricklin
>> http://www.bricklin.com/cornucopia.htm - 'use brings abundance', i.e. the
>> more you put in, the more you get out. Please note, however, that I
>reserve
>> the right to delete irrelevant, offensive or abusive posts.
>>
>> _So what is of interest to the list?
>> Anything that addresses the impact of digital technologies upon writing
>and
>> lived experience, from vague, barely expressible notions to passionate
>> manifestos. This is the place for conjecture, imaginings, mappings and
>> propositions.
>>
>> _What will I get out of it?
>> With luck we will birth some inventive projects, successful
>collaborations,
>> and unusual networks. Our conversations will stimulate innovative grant
>> proposals and help locate specialist courses, external examiners and PhD
>> supervisors. Researchers will find it invaluable as a place to discuss
>> ideas and pose questions. Writers and artists can obtain feedback on their
>> work and glean inspiration from the mass of information collected here.
>>
>> _How this list operates
>> As host, I intend to keep a low profile and allow the list to develop its
>> own tempo. I will, however, provide a rough structure in the form of a
>> monthly theme to provide a focus, and I will interject where useful or
>> necessary.
>>
>> _Is there an RSS feed?
>> Not yet, although I understand that JISC are working on one. I considered
>> starting this discussion on a blog but in the end decided to use a
>JISClist
>> because it is fast and functions very smoothly on a range of platforms. I
>> also rather like the idea of this very basic interface which is easy to
>use
>> and accessible by both email and web.
>>
>> _Is there a web archive for this list?
>> http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/writing-and-the-digital-life.html
>>
>> _Will there be more than this? Website, events, perhaps a blog?
>> Grant applications are in progress now. More as I know it.
>>
>> _Who manages this list?
>> My name is Sue Thomas and I live in Leicester, in the Midlands of England.
>> In 1995 at Nottingham Trent University I founded the trAce Online Writing
>> Centre http://trace.ntu.ac.uk where I was Artistic Director until December
>> 2004. In January 2005 I took up a new post as Professor of New Media in
>the
>> Faculty of Humanities at De Montfort University. I am also the author of
>> several books, most recently 'Hello World: travels in virtuality'
>> http://travelsinvirtuality.typepad.com Contact me at [log in to unmask]
>> for information about postgraduate study, research projects at the
>> forthcoming DMU Centre for Creative Technologies, or any other enquiries.
