Digital Humanities

“Digital Humanities and Digital Social Reading” discusses the concept of Digital Social Reading (DSR) and how it has emerged as the internet has evolved. DSR encompasses various activities like book reviews, inline commenting, online storytelling (e.g., fanfiction), and book discussions. The article explains that DSR provides unique opportunities for studying literature, reading, and literary communication, with computational tools playing a significant role. Additionally, the article explores the different research aspects of DSR and reviews the relevant literature for each, and in doing so, distinguishes between studies on DSR that examine broader literary exchanges versus studies focused on DSR culture.
