Trends and challenges in modern literature
Literature issues
The world is changing at a fast pace. It becomes more and more like a giant stage with numerous postmodern scripts flashing tremendously before our eyes.
Don’t you share this opinion? This is just a brief reminder of the recent news:
Geneva, September 10, 2008. The first beam from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider successfully traversed the 27 kilometers of the world’s most powerful particle accelerator at 10:28 this morning.
A European court says the idea that a new supercollider project could create a “celestial void” (a good name for a black hole) and eventually consume Earth is worth discussing, but the project may go ahead on schedule anyway. modes.
We wake up every morning to a cheap 70’s sci-fi movie. Just a mirror reflection of the “state of the art” in human evolution. You have to admit it. We split the atom, the center of everything, and in doing so we create chaos.
Contemporary Poets reflect this chaos. Postmodern literature does the same. Select the fragments. Out of the chaos, modernists and postmodernists extract fragments of life around them. They then leave it to the reader to put these fragments back together.
But don’t allow yourself to think in traditional ways when addressing modern and postmodern issues. literature questions. You have to be open to the experience and it will make sense! The modern author intentionally leaves the work open to interpretation by readers. Endless endings, much like the world we live in. Are these just signs of new artistic trends or a definitive literary answer to literary questions? of a new altered reality?
Literature response
It is increasingly difficult to get today’s new media generations to acquire a taste for reading classic literature, given the powerful influence of cinema, the Internet and the aforementioned circumstances.
You can blog, phlog, vlog, and podcast all for free, and brace yourself, grateful readers too. You can write and publish your own books (ebooks) at a fraction of the cost of a printed book. You can tell that this is a letter from the bright side of life. Everyone can be a writer and writing doesn’t look very good anymore.
There are opinions that chatting on the Internet or sending messages frequently through mobile phones harms the language skills of our children.
Communication and language skills have improved with the advent of the Internet. Basically, as we chat more, be it through the net, email or mobile phone, we write more, express more and somewhere communication skills improve and fear of English, French, German, Serbian or any other language disappears.
Emerging trends and technologies in literature
Understanding the symbolism of the new literary medium can seem like a terrifying experience. The first step to understanding is observation. So let’s look at what are the main carriers of literary response in new millennium.
collaborative writing
Wikipedia definition of collaborative writing (this famous web encyclopedia is an illustrative example of collaborative writing itself): “The term collaborative writing refers to projects in which multiple people create written works together (collaboratively) rather than individually “.
There is a saying “teamwork makes the dream work”. Collaborative writing can often lead to books that are richer and more complex than those produced by individuals. Having many people working on a project has added to the creative process. Also, they can be very supportive of each other and you never know where the story is going! Endless endings?
Begin to recognize postmodern symbols?
Another analogy: instead of the sequential method of tracing in traditional writing, collaborative writing takes full advantage of interactivity in the creative process. Through the use of communication tools such as the Internet, mobile phones, collaborative writing software, etc. , the writing process is deconstructed and reassembled, preferably managed by the group, the community, even the readers – the audience, rather than just and selfishly controlled by one person.
Literature born of chaos. Is it another symbol of postmodernism that we have just discovered in the practice of applied literature?
That is why, despite many tangible complexities related to the idea of Collaborative Writing, it presents a phenomenon of respectful literature. It has come to stay. The main challenge in the future will be how to put it in the written context, “acceptable to all”, instead of continuing to deny its relevance.
desktop publishing
Thanks to digital technology and the distribution possibilities offered by the Internet, small publishing is now more feasible than ever. Independent voices can be made available to the general reading public at affordable prices, providing new titles, both fiction and nonfiction.
However, setting up and running a small publishing house can seem like a daunting task. Acquire international standard book numbers, Purchase a unique Internet domain name for your publisher’s website, Determine a niche for your publishing efforts, Locate the most appropriate book printer for your needs, Contact friendly book reviewers with Small press and sending attractive press kits, visiting small press trade shows and networking with other small publishers are just some of the puzzle pieces that many freelance writers are not ready or willing to tackle.
While the big publishers can claim most of the profit margin, the small publishers continue to be more and more alive and kicking among the small business group.
Literature display
This is a “hot term,” one of those that can make you look smart at the party. However, the roots of literature visualization go back to the first half of the last century. We all remember “The War of the Worlds”, by HG Wells, famous radio broadcast, and few of you also remember with nostalgia the Musical Version of Jeff Wayne with a star like Richard Burton as narrator-leader.
In its broad context, the visualization of literature implies all the interpretations of literature by different media. From recorded narrations, popular movie stars’ children’s literature reading video sessions, big-budget movie projects, literature digitization and e-book publishing, to major international projects like Project Gutenberg, for example. The Book Teaser Videos industry is becoming more and more prominent.
Another important aspect and interpretation of the term Literature Visualization is related to new and novel writing techniques. Summarized in two words: “Show, don’t tell”. Anticipating the growing aspirations of the new generation of movie-going readers who mostly think visually, authors tend to think of their books as mini-movies, with multidimensional characters with a defined point of view.
Media in social networks and new copyright models
In the WEB 2.0 era, Social Networks create a completely new medium to distribute the message to the masses.
The music industry was the first to recognize the full potential of the Internet and online communities. Many popular music stars and bands posted their work first on the Internet. They well understood the potential of live and close interaction with their audience and the benefits it brings in the short and long term, respectively.
The same processes are taking place within the literary community. The main problem of copyright was successfully solved by the introduction of the ingenious Creative Common License that offers creators the best way to protect their works while encouraging certain uses of them.
Literature is changing inexorably, closely following global trends. For scholars of literature, authors, and consumers, it is important to recognize the significance of the questions of contemporary literature and the symbolism of literature’s genuine response to the challenges of the new age. This new understanding will add quality tools to our literature arsenal allowing us to enjoy it in many new and exciting ways.
