Prakruti Bhatt's Assignments

As a part of my specific area of research, I have opted to work on the field of Electronic and Digital literature. And since it is important to study how publishing, as a significant process of literary production, functions in the Digital Age; I have prepared this presentation to provide an insight into the Digital Publishing Sphere and the element of the Attention Economy within the same.

Being a research scholar working in the field of Electronic and Digital literature, I have encountered questions regarding the modality of the texts produced through the digital platform as well as works which are 'born digital'. Hence, in this presentation I have attempted to address these questions. The presentation also attempts to explain how multimodality is a crucial aspect to consider while studying works created on and for the digital space. Digital Humanities.pptx from Prakruti Bhatt

Often while conducting a research study in the field of Literature, research scholars are faced with the problem of not finding enough scholarly articles and reliable reading resources for justifying their arguments. Snowballing is one method which can address and solve this issue to some extent. Hence, this presentation focuses on introducing Snowballing as a significant method of research and contextualising it for the field of literary research.

"E-literature." Cambridge Companion to Literature and the Posthuman . Ed. Bruce Clarke and Manuela Rossini. Cambridge University Press, 2016. 231. web. 15 May 2022. < https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/The_Cambridge_Companion_to_Literature_an/ydx7DQAAQBAJ > E-lit has been defined by N. Katherine Hayles as literature that is ‘digitally born’. This chapter by Ivan Callus and Mario Aquilina therefore, explores the question of whether it can be considered a post-human phenomenon. To fulfil this objective, they consider E-lit as a post-literary space and its affinities with the seemingly post-human aspects of literary output in the Digital Age. They conclude the chapter with the statement: “E-lit is itself as complex and diverse a metaph...

The Global Initiative of Academic Networks in Higher Education is a program initiated by the Government of India and it is aimed at ' tapping the talent pool of scientists and entrepreneurs, internationally to encourage their engagement with the institutes of Higher Education in India so as to augment the country's existing academic resources, accelerate the pace of quality reform, and elevate India's scientific and technological capacity to global excellence.'

"As the sun rose over Washington, Langdon looked to the heavens, where the last of the night time stars were fading out. He thought about science, about faith, about man ." Yes that's what the book is about. Science, Faith and Man. And that's why its arguments, reflections, ideas are relevant in our times. Science, Religion, Literature/Art and Philosophy are considered the four foundations of human life. And Brown presents a crisis where all four of them are shaken. And yet, is able to end his work with one word i.e. Hope .  We live in times when so many false statements, arguments, etc are based on pseudoscience. People, especially students and academics, find it difficult to distinguish between what is true and what is false in terms of scientific explorations and research. Also dreadful is the reality of people praising their ancient cultural knowledge, considering it better than the modern technological advances. In India, considering all technological adv...

Walter Scott is my favorite Romantic. Especially because I love Historical fiction and when you talk about this genre you can't miss out its pioneer. Whether it is the Heart of Midloathian or The Bride of Lammermoor, Scott always has a fascinating story to tell; providing a new perspective towards the historical event he deals with. The blend of reality, or more specifically, history and fiction which he presents in his works has always attracted me. Though I haven't traditionally studied any of his works, I've read them for my personal liking. And which is why, I'm introducing, what is popularly known as his masterpiece; Waverly. Here's a quick overview of what the novel is about: The protagonist is a young Englishman, Edward Waverly. Neglected by his pro-Hanoverian father he is raised by his elderly uncle, the Jacobite leaning Sir Everard Waverly (yes! they have similar sounding names!). Having obtained a commission in the army he is sent to Scotland in 1745....
