*CALL FOR PAPERS AND WORKS*

On behalf of the scientific committee and Prof. Loss Glazier, President
of the E-poetry Festival, I am glad to inform you about the 5th edition
of the E-Poetry Festival, which will take place in *Barcelona in 2009
(May 24th-27th)* at the Universitat Obertat de Catalunya (UOC) hosted by
the Hermeneia Research Group.

E-Poetry is both a conference and a festival. The festival is the most
significant digital literary gathering in the field. Authors and
researchers worldwide meet and present their researches and works. This
will permit researchers to present their latest research and artists to
premier their newest works. A selection of the papers will be published
after the conference following the peer review system and we will also
like to publish proceedings of the conference. Artistic events will take
place at key Barcelona venues such as the Barcelona Center for
Contemporary Culture (CCCB: http://www.cccb.org/en/
<http://www.cccb.org/en/>), providing authors the opportunity to
present their works to a public curious about new literary and artistic
trends employing technology and communication during the Setmana de la
Poesia, that is also sharing a part of our artistic program.

*Katherine Hayles (Duke), Roberto Simanowski (Brown University) and
Jean Clément (Université Paris 8) have already accepted to be key-note
speakers.*

The UOC's research group Hermeneia with the collaboration of Electronic
Poetry Center (University of Buffalo) and the Laboratoire Paragraph
(Univ. Paris VIII) will organize the event.

You are invited to submit original papers (not presented in other
conferences) and works for the Conference & the Festival.

Please do not hesitate in contacting us for any further information you
may require.
