[Commlist] CFP ACLA2024: Seminar "Interactive Storytelling"

CFP ACLA2024: Seminar "The Evolution of Interactivity in Storytelling"

American Comparative Literature Association

Montreal, Canada, March 14-17, 2024

Abstract deadline: September 30, 2023

The ongoing evolution of interactivity in novels, films, games, and 
digital media forms a continual dialogue between human creativity and 
technological innovation.  Interactivity has long been a cornerstone in 
storytelling, engendering a dynamic relationship between creators, 
writers, readers, players, and interactors.

This interdisciplinary seminar aims to dissect the multi-dimensional 
nature of interactivity across various narrative platforms. It traces 
the phenomenon's origins in early literary forms, such as the epistolary 
novel, to its sophisticated manifestations in contemporary digital 
media. The confluence of technology and storytelling has burgeoned into 
a major cultural phenomenon, underlining the intrinsic human yearning 
for active engagement in narrative experiences.

We welcome submissions from diverse research fields, including 
literature, communication, film, digital, and cultural studies. These 
submissions should explore interactive elements within novels, films, 
comic books, games, digital platforms, or other narrative forms.  
Submissions can explore various aspects, from pioneering examples and 
historical milestones to contemporary technological advancements and 
narrative innovations.
