Abstract
Abstract:How will we contend with born-digital texts, in archives and beyond, as artifacts of literary history in the future? Looking from the present forward, this essay considers the significance and challenges of born-digital texts for computational literary studies. Briefly exploring the new media paratexts that postcolonial writers are now creating, Risam asks what it would take to ensure that our capacity for computational analysis in the future reflects, rather than elides, the diverse and inclusive literary history of the present.
期刊介绍：
New Literary History focuses on questions of theory, method, interpretation, and literary history. Rather than espousing a single ideology or intellectual framework, it canvasses a wide range of scholarly concerns. By examining the bases of criticism, the journal provokes debate on the relations between literary and cultural texts and present needs. A major international forum for scholarly exchange, New Literary History has received six awards from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals.
