2. HYPER-LEX: A Technographical Dictionary

   Paul Harris hybridizes the terms of hypertextual discourse and takes it to a higher power.

   The spirit or at least pervasive desire of our age revolves around a sort of transparency: a desire to project ourselves as a surface of permeable traces, to exfoliate, let the inside become the outside, to become fully visible like the meat and bones of a Cronenberg character, while remaining invisible like the little hacker ghost (Turing’s Demon?) that tracks text in the Random Access Memory banks of the machine onto whose screen we splash words. In large part, the attractive force that transparency exerts is an effect of media culture; simultaneously, however, transparency marks a limit of im-mediacy - an unmediated, collapsed sensation where we can see the neurophysiology of our brains or the shapes of and linkages among our words. This is an immediacy of the sensory that never shades into the tactile - it is rather the immediacy of sensing the medium itself, of clicking tracks around the computer screen or dredging up hidden treasures on the Netscape of our lives.

   ‘The time has come,’ the Walrus said,
   ‘To talk of many things:
   Of shoes - and ships - and sealing wax -
   Of cabbages - and kings -
   And why the sea is boiling hot -
   And whether pigs have wings.’
   Lewis Carroll, Alice Through the Looking-Glass

6. Digital Humanities: Knowledge and Critique in a Digital Age

   As the twenty-first century unfolds, computers challenge the way in which we think about culture, society and what it is to be human: areas traditionally explored by the humanities.

   In a world of automation, Big Data, algorithms, Google searches, digital archives, real-time streams and social networks, our use of culture has been changing dramatically. The digital humanities give us powerful theories, methods and tools for exploring new ways of being in a digital age. Berry and Fagerjord provide a compelling guide,exploring the history, intellectual work, key arguments and ideas of this emerging discipline. They also offer an important critique, suggesting ways in which the humanities can be enriched through computing, but also how cultural critique cantransform the digital humanities.

   Digital Humanities will be an essential book for students and researchers in this newfield but also related areas, such as media and communications, digital media, sociology, informatics, and the humanities more broadly.

7. Semiotic Engineering: an HCI Theory That Can Be Adopted for the Analysis of Works of Electronic Literature

   An increasing number of journals and conferences have been publishing articles and critical essays about electronic literature, but still mainly adopting traditional approaches to literary texts, such as close-reading (deeply rooted in the New Criticism trend), or reporting readers’ experiences (in accordance to the Reception Aesthetics). These approaches, however fruitful and well-established in literary analysis as they are, were not originally conceived to study digital texts. Therefore, they systematically fail to grasp specificities of electronic literature, unless the critic goes beyond the limits of the method and adopts other analytical tools as well.

8. First and Second Waves of Indian Electronic Literature

   In her seminal book Electronic Literature: New Horizons for the Literary (2008), Katherine Hayles historicizes electronic literary works as first generation and second generation published before and after the advent of Web respectively. In addition to this, Leonardo Flores, in his essay “Third Generation Electronic Literature” (2019), defines three waves of electronic literature. He discusses the electronic literary works, which are mostly hypertext, kinetic and text-based, published between 1952 and 1995 as first generation, the multifaceted features of second generation works started after the rise of Web in 1995 and continues to the present. Third generation works encompass of social media networks, apps, mobile and Web API services began around 2005. These works have made important contributions to understanding the field of Western electronic literature. On the other hand, scholars have discoursed about the non-western electronic literary works and emphasised about their generations.
