Networks of Collaboration and Creation in Latin American Digital Literature

Abstract

Part of the Digital Humanities Commons, Interactive Arts Commons, Latin American Literature Commons, and the Other Arts and Humanities Commons Dedicated to the dissemination of scholarly and professional information, Purdue University Press selects, develops, and distributes quality resources in several key subject areas for which its parent university is famous, including business, technology, health, veterinary medicine, and other selected disciplines in the humanities and sciences. CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture, the peer-reviewed, full-text, and open-access learned journal in the humanities and social sciences, publishes new scholarship following tenets of the discipline of comparative literature and the field of cultural studies designated as "comparative cultural studies." Publications in the journal are indexed in the Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature (Chadwyck-Healey), the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (Thomson Reuters ISI), the Humanities Index (Wilson), Humanities International Complete (EBSCO), the International Bibliography of the Modern Language Association of America, and Scopus (Elsevier). The journal is affiliated with the Purdue University Press monograph series of Books in Comparative Cultural Studies. Contact:

“…Specific IF communities include "Libros juegos," the primary online community, groups that focus on the use of a specific authoring software, such as Twine, and those that follow specific IF authors and their works (Gomez, 2019). "La Huella de Cosmos," a project sponsored by Escuela Superior de Artes y Espectáculos of Madrid, enabled a community of writers and readers to contribute ideas in the development of Peruvian-Venezuelan writer and journalist Doménico Chiappe's IF work (Gainza, 2017). The recent development of these small, decentralized communities of IF writers provide a window into the attributes of fledgling online writer's guild communities with an added veneer of technology and digital storytelling that sets them apart from their predecessors.…”
