We welcome manuscript submissions for a special issue of Enculturation. For this issue, we invite papers originating from presentations given at Computers and Writing 2012, “ArchiTEXTure: Composing and Constructing in Digital Spaces.” Under this theme, conference organizers encourage submitters to consider issues, challenges, and benefits specifically related to the production of digital texts. Additionally, submissions are encouraged to consider questions that both address “archiTEXTure” in the classroom and as part of a scholarly agenda.

Notifications of acceptance for C&W 2012 will be sent to the presenters on December 15, 2011. Should your presentation be accepted to the 2012 conference, we encourage you to consider crafting and creating your presentation now for consideration in this online special issue.

Media and Genres
We welcome a mix of media and genres to reflect the various presentation types featured at Computers and Writing 2012 individual presentations, interactive installations, CREATE! sessions, or ConstrucTEXT presentations. Traditional essays, hypertexts, videos, and multimedia projects are all suitable for publication in Enculturation.
