A new special issue of Reviews in Digital Humanities was published in January 2026 on the topic of E-Lit, or Electronic Literature. Guest editors Samya Brata Roy (GITAM Hyderabad), Reham Hosny (University of Cambridge), and Leah Henrickson (University of Queensland) note that, as defined by the Electronic Literature Organization, E-Lit or “literature produced for the digital medium” has become a focus for DH scholars who engage with video games, interactive media, social networks, and digital storytelling. They further note:
“It [E-Lit] is not merely a subject of study but a medium in itself — a way for people to interrogate, explore, and engage with digital culture.”
The special issue features four reviews of projects that include theorizations on the digital humanities, arguments about critical making, and a showcase of E-Lit practices, representing a global selection of digital projects. Reviews in Digital Humanities is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal; find other issues and a digital humanities project registry at reviewsindh.pubpub.org.
