Élika Ortega Guzmán

Élika Ortega's work focuses on the intersection of digital and print publishing, digital literature, cultural hybridity, digital humanities, and multilingualism in academia. Her articles on these topics have been published in venues like ASAP Journal, PMLA, Hispanic Review, Debates in the Digital Humanities, EBR, and others. Élika also created Twitter literary bots dedicated to the work of Mexican writer and artist Ulises Carrión which were included in the Antología LitELat Vol. 1 and have more recently been ported to Bluesky as @BotCarrión. She is currently one of the editors for the Electronic Literature Collection Vol. 5. Ortega’s monograph Binding Media. Hybrid Print-Digital Literature from across the Americas was published by Stanford University Press in March 2025. In it she examines a corpus of about one hundred instances of literary hybrid publishing querying their emergent meaning mechanisms, the publishing landscape that has produced them, the issues of their preservation, and their status as material substrates of processes of cultural hybridization.
