Resumo

Cerca de uma década depois de ter saído da direção da Electronic Literature Organization, Kirschenbaum regressou para apresentar, no encontro da ELO de 2017 no Porto, uma justaposição estranhamente precisa das afinidades da Organização com o breve período do rock progressivo. O resultado é um excesso imaginativo, cujo único precursor (em estudos impressos) poderia ser Yes in the Answer (2013), de Mark Weingarten e Tyson Correl,  que incluía romancistas aclamados da década de 1980, como Rick Moody e Joe Meno, músicos como Nathan Larson e Peter Case, e o historiador musical Jim DeRogatis, citado aqui. Este texto é uma transcrição ligeiramente reescrita da palestra. Aquilo que não é reproduzível, nesta versão textual, é a potente parede de som que acompanhou a apresentação de Kirschenbaum.
