ABSTRACT
The study of electronic literatures in comparative literature curricula is apt, given that e-lit is constituted by artistic languages, media, and expressive traditions in relation–relations that require comparative attention on the part of both its audience and its critics. Curating is very much like editing and one of the futures of comparative literature. Platforms’ concurrent exhibitions and events featured an array of e-literatures and a discussion of their modes of communication and distribution: graphic literatures, sound poetics to emphasize the integration of visual and auditory forms of expression, and an array of technological avant-gardes. So Platforms of the Imagination grew into a series of “e-literature” exhibitions and events in arts and cultural venues across Mexico City over a three-month period, from October 2015 to January 2016. Platforms of the Imagination had its origin in a small working group called laboratory of extended literatures and other materialities.
