Call for papers. Special Issue: Digital Literary Studies

The journal Σύγκριση/Comparaison/Comparison has closely followed over time the debates in literary humanities and arts studies around the world and seeks to contribute to their development. In this vein, its next issue (34) will be devoted to Digital Literary Studies. It aims at exploring in a transdisciplinary direction the expanding use of digital tools and methods in literary creation, reading, study and dissemination, reflecting on existing digital methods and practices and the tools that support them and suggesting new perspectives on the development of digital literary studies.

This special issue seeks to examine the ways in which digital means influence literary creation and literary studies, with reference to the transformations of the writing, rewriting, reading and dissemination of literary works, as well as of literary research, with particular focus to the interpretative, added value of the use of digital tools in the analysis of literature. It emphasizes, but is not limited to, research on modern Greek literature in its relation to other literatures and arts. Given the possibilities offered by digital means, it considers important to invite contributions with an intercultural, multicultural, medial and/or intermedial perspective that are relevant to topics not adequately studied so far.
