Global Perspectives on Digital Literature: A Critical Introduction
for the Twenty-First Century explores how digital literary forms
shape and are shaped by aesthetic and political exchanges happening
across languages and nations. The book understands ‘global’ as
a mode of comparative thinking and argues for considering various
forms of digital literature—the popular, the avant-garde, and the
participatory—as realizing and producing global thought in the
twenty-first century. Attending to issues of both political and
aesthetic representation, the book includes a diverse group of
contributors and a diverse corpus of texts, composed in a variety
of languages and regions, including East and South Asia, Europe,
Latin America, North America, Australia, and Africa. The book’s
contributors adopt a wide array of interpretive approaches to make
visible new connections and possibilities engendered by
cross-cultural encounters. Among other topics, they reflect on the
shifting conditions for production and distribution of literature,
participatory cultures and technological affordances of Web 2.0,
the ever-changing dynamics of global and local forces, and address
fundamental questions such as, what do we mean when we talk about
literature today? What is the future of literature?
