Abstract [en]
In what ways can the coded literature that circulates in the digital realm be interpreted in light of the logic of change? At present, pre-individual hyperlinks and hypermedia, encompassing the internet, social media platforms, blogs, hashtags, Twitter, and the world wide web, are utilized to represent the database of encoded literary texts. The correlation between the internet and AI is a captivating subject in the age of artificial intelligence. The historical progression of the World Wide Web illustrates its genetic and developmental stages: from static text-based information that was easily navigable for users to the social web, which integrated user-generated content and web applications, and finally to the “semantic web,” which implemented artificial intelligence and machine learning. Transductive Intermedia, an emerging technology that integrates machine learning algorithms and user-supplied data via neural networks trained by artificial intelligence, facilitates enhanced “interoperability” and “hyper-connectivity” among diverse platforms and devices (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube). The touchscreen or electronic interface serves as an illustration that “code” can be considered an essential element of the “text” in the form of a digital world literature database. This is apparent in electronic literature, digital poetry, and digital poetics of the present day. The aim of this article was to reassess the consequences of the challenges that the convergence of artificial intelligence, intermedia, digital humanities, and digitized/born-digital world literature presents. Furthermore, it proposes the concept of the pre-individual within the realm of transductive digital world literature.
