| Overview

The field of Digital Humanities reimagines traditional literature through the lens of a digitally immersive world. In an era where literature extends beyond the printed page into interactive, multimodal spaces, storytelling is no longer confined to novels and poetry alone—it thrives in films, web series, video games, digital archives, and AI-generated narratives.
At the Department of English and Cultural Studies, we are at the forefront of this transformation, decoding the evolving digital genre by integrating Computational Literary Studies into our curriculum. With the rise of Natural Language Processing (NLP), machine learning, and AI-driven text analysis, our students engage with literature in groundbreaking ways—examining texts through sentiment analysis, topic modeling, stylometry, and predictive analytics.
