Digital Hybridity in Indian-English Online Narratives: Post-2010 Perspectives
Abstract
The post-2010 period marks a significant transformation in Indian-English literature, characterized by the rise of digital platforms as spaces for creative expression. Indian-English writers increasingly experiment with narrative forms that blend text, image, performance, and interactivity, giving rise to hybrid literary practices. This study examines the emergence of Indian-English online narrative forms, explores how digital platforms influence literary form, authorship, readership, and circulation, and analyzes selected narratives from Instagram, Terribly Tiny Tales, YourQuote, Wattpad, Pratilipi, Twitter/X, blogs, and spoken-word/video platforms. By employing a qualitative, interdisciplinary methodology combining digital narratology, postcolonial theory, platform studies, and multimodal discourse analysis, the paper highlights the complex interplay between technology, authorship, and reader participation, demonstrating the significance of digital hybridity in contemporary Indian-English literary culture.
