Hi, all, this is short notice but see it as a call for papers and an
invitation to attend the Congress:
The following
announcement comes from a WRT post:
http://writerresponsetheory.org/wordpress/2006/10/17/espanol-en-english-cfp/
THE 3rd OCS is looking for a few good ensayos and essays in Spanish
AND in English (along with Portuguese and others). Here's the
announcement. The specific call is for papers for section C-7 on
Digital narrative.
Cal for papers for:

3rd ONLINE CONGRESS. OBSERVATORY FOR CYBERSOCIETY. "OPEN KNOWLEDGE.
FREE SOCIETY" (10/31/2006, 11/20/206-12/3/2006)
According to their site:
The Congress is an electronic space especially designed for the
presentation and interchange of analysis, reflections, investigations,
and experiences, of people of diverse backgrounds interested in
similar themes all over the world. People who never would meet
physically nor would have the opportunity to share these experiences
and knowledge, during a fixed time, do it online.
The meetings are free and open to the public but require registration.
Topics include:
*Politics and social change
*Identity and social groups
*Communication and culture
*Education and learning
*Criticism and innovation

C-7 is just one of the many working groups currently accepting
submissios. The C group is part of the Communication and Culture
theme. In the continuing development of multi-lingual international
dialogue about new media, I hope all will consider participating.
If you want to contribute with a communication, or participate in the
online discussions, please see more details at the English site.

For this working group, the central questions are:
Is digital Literature a new Literature, different from non-digital Literature?
How do new technologies influence literary communication and literary creation?
What is the function of readers in with respect to Literature in the
digital society?
How is the author's conscience configured in digital Literature?
How to consider or to reframe the copyright in the digital society?
Are literary genres reformulated in the creation of digital Literature?
What makes of digital narrative something exclusive of electronic media?
What makes of this type of reading something attractive to the reading public?
Why is narrative important?
This panel and all of OCS should be an intellectual hotspot where all
attendees can freely access various points of view on digital
literature without having to buy a cup of coffee.
As a member of this panel, I would like to invite our readers to
attend and join the discussion.
Please contact me with any questions.
Thank you,
