«But how can we figure out how to est use these capabilities effec effectively to develop new kinds of poetry, new types of stories? We need to experiment to find out. Those experiments are what the field of electronic literature is all about»
«Electronic literature is most simpli described as a new forms and genres of writting that explore the specific capabilities of the computer and network – literature that would not be possible whitout the contemporary digital context».
«As Espen Aarseth established in Cybertext: Perspectives of Ergodic Literature (1997), non trivial effort is required from the reader of a cubertext ni order to traverse text – and this undestandirn of how to move throught the text must happen before any kind of interpretavite reading can take place (p.1).»
«While electronic literature must be read from a standpoint of media and platform-specificity, these new literary genres did not emerge from a cultural vacuum, but in response to and in conversation with literary and artistic traditions»
«Electronic literature» is its generality, and thus its ability to include those emerging genres that did not exist in the 1990s, when the term was first widey circulated.»

«… but also to how readers can operate the text-machine itself.»
Electronic literature, or e-lit, refers to works with important literary aspects that take advantage of the capabilities and contexts provided by the standalone or networked computer. Within de broad category of electronic literature are several forms and threads of practice, some of wich are:
Hipertext fiction and poetry, on and off the web
Kinetic poetry presented un Flash and using other plataforms
Computer art installarions, wich ask viewers to read them otherwise have literary aspects
Conversational characters, also know as chatterbots
Interactive fiction
Literary apps
Novels that take the form of emails, SMS messages, or blogs
Poems and stories that are generated by computers, either interactively or bases on parameters given at the beginning
Collaborative writing projects that allow readers to contribute to the text of a work
Literaty perfomances online that develop new ways of writting
Works of electronci literature are native to the digital enviroment – for the most part they could not easily be produced or consumed in print literary «relies on code for its creation, preservation, and display: there is no way to experience a work of e-literature unless a computer is running it- reading it and perhaps also generating it» (Strickland, 2009). These works depend in some essential way on the computer.

«… But is also the case that the new forms and the thematic concerns of electronic literarure do not merely emerge from the technology it self: instead the emerge from the interaction og new technologies with aestetics concerns that have much longer histories.»

«The aesthetics of combinatory poetry may not have been explored so extensively were it not for the Dadaist desire to overcome language, or the surrealist yearning to uncover the logic of dreams…»
«…can we even break its genre down into categories as basic as literary text, performance, or visual art?»
«Electronic literature is considerably resistant to clear lines of demarcation. Hybridity and perhaps monstrosity (see Leclarir, 2000) are part for the course and mutimedial field whose cycles of creation move at the speed of technological change.»

«I argue that the connections between genres of eleccctronic literature with moderninst and postmoderninst literature go deeper… as in certain cases both the thematic concerns and structural models of the works can ve read as clear extensions of the same cultural projects.»
«The technological apparatus plays a special role in the formation of electronic literature genres distinct from print literary genres.»
«Technology is not entir4ely determinative of genres of electronic literature,, but the capabilities and limintations of systems, platforms, and software used to create and distribute electronic literature afford and constrain digital works in ways that are essential to understanding them.»
