How does the electronic literature community of digidicht.nl
(which is based on shared cultural practices and interest in
particular e-literature) form and sustain?
Is digidicht.nl a community or a depot for e-works?
How do we deal with the ethical problem of the immersion of the
researcher in the field she is supposed to investigate?
