1. The Bloomsbury Handbook of Electronic Literature

   The digital age has had a profound impact on literary culture, with new technologies opening up opportunities for new forms of literary art from hyperfiction to multi-media poetry and narrative-driven games. Bringing together leading scholars and artists from across the world, The Bloomsbury Handbook of Electronic Literature is the first authoritative reference handbook to the field.

   Crossing disciplinary boundaries, this book explores the foundational theories of the field, contemporary artistic practices, debates and controversies surrounding such key concepts as canonicity, world systems, narrative and the digital humanities, and historical developments and new media contexts of contemporary electronic literature. Including guides to major publications in the field, The Bloomsbury Handbook of Electronic Literature is an essential resource for scholars of contemporary culture in the digital era.

2. Small Screen Fictions

   Small Screen Fictions is a collection of works that reflect some of the key trends within current electronic literature and digital fiction research. This incudes children’s e-literature, gaming fictions, networked narratives and old/new aesthetics for the small screen. This publication celebrates the lively and diverse forms of digital narrative that e-lit welcomes within its fold, and identifies important trends, tendencies, and overlapping interests as the field continues to evolve.

   The various essays in the book analyse the fluid and increasingly dynamic relationship between media, narrative, authors and audiences. Specifically, the shift to small screens including laptops, tablets and mobile phones has reinvented conventions for immersive storytelling. This impacts how users interact with narrative meanings in tangible and intangile ways. These works detail how pervasively digital technologies change the way stories are made, disseminated, consumed, and understood.

5. Bodies of Information: Intersectional Feminism and Digital Humanities

   In recent years, the digital humanities has been shaken by important debates about inclusivity and scope—but what change will these conversations ultimately bring about? Can the digital humanities complicate the basic assumptions of tech culture, or will this body of scholarship and practices simply reinforce preexisting biases? Bodies of Information addresses this crucial question by assembling a varied group of leading voices, showcasing feminist contributions to a panoply of topics, including ubiquitous computing, game studies, new materialisms, and cultural phenomena like hashtag activism, hacktivism, and campaigns against online misogyny.

   Taking intersectional feminism as the starting point for doing digital humanities, Bodies of Information is diverse in discipline, identity, location, and method. Helpfully organized around keywords of materiality, values, embodiment, affect, labor, and situatedness, this comprehensive volume is ideal for classrooms. And with its multiplicity of viewpoints and arguments, it’s also an important addition to the evolving conversations around one of the fastest growing fields in the academy.

6. Disrupting the Digital humanities

   All too often, defining a discipline becomes more an exercise of exclusion than inclusion. Disrupting the Digital Humanities seeks to rethink how we map disciplinary terrain by directly confronting the gatekeeping impulse of many other so-called field-defining collections. What is most beautiful about the work of the Digital Humanities is exactly the fact that it can’t be tidily anthologized. In fact, the desire to neatly define the Digital Humanities (to filter the DH-y from the DH) is a way of excluding the radically diverse work that actually constitutes the field. This collection, then, works to push and prod at the edges of the Digital Humanities — to open the Digital Humanities rather than close it down. Ultimately, it’s exactly the fringes, the outliers, that make the Digital Humanities both heterogeneous and rigorous.

7. Explorations in Critical Discourse and New Media Studies: Essays in Honour of Rotimi Taiwo

   The interaction between critical discourse analysis and the New Media, with their extensions, has become a socially relevant tool used by scholars in interrogating different phenomena such as medical interactions, digital literature, media texts, political campaigns, insecurity and other social narratives.From the perspectives presented in this collection of research papers, it is evident that the days of linguistic research without social significance and application are gone. This finding is underlying the practical approach in the works of Professor Rotimi Taiwo to whom this book is dedicated.
