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.

Do not share this opinion? This is just a brief reminder of recent news:

Geneva, September 10, 2008 – The first beam from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider successfully traveled 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” (good name for black hole) and eventually consume Earth is worth discussing, but the project may go ahead on schedule anyway. .

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 draw 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 approaching 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 circumstances mentioned.

You can blog, phlog, vlog, and podcast, all for free, and get ready, grateful readers too. You can write and publish your own books (eBooks) at a fraction of the cost of a printed book. You can say that this is a letter from the bright side of life. Anyone can be a writer and writing doesn’t look very good anymore.

There are opinions that chatting on the Internet or frequently sending messages through mobile phones harms our children’s language skills.

Communication and language skills have improved with the advent of the Internet. Basically, as we chat more, whether it’s 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’s 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 written works are created by multiple people together (in collaboration) in instead of 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. Plus, 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 brings out all means 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, managed preferably by the group, the community, even the readers – the audience, instead of being alone 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 non-fiction.

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 book reviewers Small press friendly and sending out attractive press kits, visiting small press trade shows, and networking with other small publishers are just a few of the pieces of the puzzle that many freelance writers are unprepared or unwilling 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, the famous radio broadcast, and few of you also, fondly remember Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version with a star like Richard Burton as narrator-protagonist.

In its broad context, the visualization of literature involves all 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 big 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 a new generation of readers who watch many movies and mostly think visually, authors tend to think of their books as mini-movies, with multidimensional characters with a defined point of view.

Means of dissemination in social networks and new models of copyright

In the era of WEB 2.0, 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 published their work first on the Internet. They promptly understood the potential of live and up-close interaction with their audience and the benefits it brings in the short and long term, respectively.

The same processes are developing within the literary community. The main issue of copyright was successfully addressed through 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 literary scholars, authors, and consumers, it is important to recognize the significance of contemporary literature’s questions 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 several new and exciting ways.
