About the Book
A Kaleidoscope of Interpreting Emerging Genres in English Language and Literature is a collection of 65 research articles from ELT and Literature. The book unfolds the literary interpretations in the areas of digital media, picture fiction, film studies, eco criticism, green ELT, feminism, masculinity, queer studies, memory studies, translation studies and ELT. A kaleidoscope reminds us of our conscious and subconscious mind. As a kaleidoscope operates on the principle of multiple reflections, so does our mind's eye. This shifting of the “kaleidoscope of mind” often relates to who we are with and the environment we are in at any given time. The title of the book evokes a beautiful image; the ever-shifting patterns of a kaleidoscope reflecting the dynamic nature of emerging genres in English. The colors of innovation are compared with the emerging genres which blur the lines of established categories. The digital age has new forms of storytelling which discusses the rise of flash fiction on social media, interactive fiction in video games, or the unique storytelling possibilities of eBooks. Global Voices on the internet has opened doors for international stories and analyzes the rise of translated works and how they are influencing English language and literature. The beauty of a kaleidoscope lies in its ever-changing nature.
