The Digital Literary Discourse: Creation and Reception in Microfiction by the Writer Dorria Farhat

Abstract

     A significant debate has arisen in the critical arena due to the tremendous advancements in the fields of media, multimedia, and the use of modern technologies. This shift from the realm of paper texts to the realm of digital texts has affected two essential aspects of literary theory: creativity and reception.ىThis has necessitated attention to the specific nature of digital literary discourse and the characteristics of the digital text itself. In the digital text, the word is combined with images, sound, and color, and is linked to interactive connections and channels. A careful observer of digital texts, especially the very short story as a model, both in terms of writing and literary reception, raises profound questions, seeking to understand how the paper-based story, relying on written language, transitions into the digital story using digitization techniques. When a digital reader's senses encounter the visual image (the formation of images, colours, sentence movements, and videos) and the audible music (auditory formation), they continue to search for the nature of producing narrative meaning and deepening the artistic vision in the very short story. For this reason, the study will aim to answer various issues related to the concept of digital literature and reveal the procedural tools capable of creating digital literature through the very short story. It will seek to clarify the key technical concepts in the structure of digital literary texts and the various links that govern the interactive nature.
