Postcolonial digital humanities has taken shape recently as an emergent academic field. Its lineage reaches back to the 1990s, when scholars Deepika Bahri and George Landow first created websites such as "Postcolonial Studies at Emory" (original version) and "The Postcolonial Literature and Culture Web." These scholars marshaled the text-based internet culture of Web 1.0 to establish sites of knowledge; identify key terms, theorists, and stakes for postcolonial studies; and to publicize the field. This website website addresses these opportunities by outlining the shape of the contemporary 'postcolonial digital humanities' through interrogating the ways postcolonial studies has evolved through different phases of internet culture from the original Web 1.0 postcolonial websites, to the "transmedia" shift beginning in the mid-2000s, to the later move to Web 2.0 and the rise of social media cultures.

Fenomeno significativo dell'industria editoriale e della cultura del nostro Paese per la loro diffusione, elargiscono riconoscimenti a quegli autori (o editori) di opere giudicate meritevoli nell'ambito di diverse discipline, non esclusivamente letterarie. Allo scopo di presentare i principali premi letterari italiani, è stata predisposta una scheda per ogni premio, nella quale vengono fornite le informazioni relative alle caratteristiche del concorso, ai tempi, all'entità del premio, ai componenti della giuria, alle modalità di partecipazione.

"Famously described as 'replaying the avant-garde along the faultline of death'" (Art Monthly, London), the INS inhabits and appropriates a variety of art forms and cultural 'moments' from the defunct avant-gardes of the last century to the political, corporate and conspiratorial organisations they mimicked. The INS's manifestos, proclamations, reports, broadcasts, hearings, inspectorates, departments, committees and sub-committees are the vehicles for interventions in the space of art, fiction, philosophy and media.
