English literature, after sailing through different courses down the history, has now entered a new space, which may affect its further cruise. The growth of technological space has given rise to a new genre called cyber literature, which plays a significant role in the promotion of literary works. Cyber literature refers to written literary texts, distributed and read on electronic screens. This electronic space provides a more flexible and convenient platform for the artistic expressions of aspiring and budding authors. Cyber literature which emerged towards the end of the 1990s through blogging, later expanded in social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Myspace etc. While the means and modes of expression changed, literature was again moulded into something else, satisfying the needs of a modern reader. This paper explores the possibility of social media and online communities as the new alternative to print publication, and it also aims at studying the present and upcoming literary trends in the cyber space through a few examples. The case study includes an analysis of the works of Rupi Kaur, an author who paved her way for fame using Instagram; Terribly Tiny Tales and other pages in Facebook which seized the young hearts with relatable snippets and prose poems; applications like "Haiku jam" which bring together people from all over the world to write a Haiku in unison. The modern generation which upgrades their lifestyle along with the technological evolution, and the contemporary issues that affect them, brings out a new literary culture. The unrestrained author-reader interaction further decreases the former gap which held back the readers from voicing their opinions. While it possesses both positive and negative effects, it creates a spacewhere everyone can be a writer, though only the fittest will survive.

“…So ŉ kurrikulum moet die beduidendheid van die nomadiese heenenweerbeweging tussen gelyktydige teenstrydighede as deel van ŉ kosmiese heelheid deurgaans beklemtoon. ŉ "Tussenin"ekstase, oftewel platoniese metaxis, wat dui op die gelyktydige ervaring van alles én niks (Vermeulen & Van den Akker 2010), is ter sprake. Verskans hierin is die drie wordingsbeginsels wat vir die denkende psigoterapeut en opvoedkundige sielkundige nooddoi.10.17159/2224-7912/2018/v58n4-2a7 saaklik behoort te wees.…”

Die estetiese ingesteldheid as psigoterapeutiese kwaliteit in ŉ hoofsaaklik apatiese, gedigitaliseerde omgewing

Die psigoterapeutiese ruimte word gekenmerk deur onder andere invoelende deelname, oftewel ŉ empatiese gevoeligheid vir die problematiek van die bestaan en betekenis van alles. Die estetiese ingesteldheid word as ŉ eis aan die terapeut gestel ten einde op eksistensiële wyse ontvanklik te wees vir la condition humaine. In hierdie artikel voer ek aan dat bogenoemde psigoterapeutiese kwaliteit, soos ook te vinde in die opvoedkundige sielkunde, moontlik in die lig van ŉ ongebreidelde digitalemediakultuur bedreig word. Ek ondersoek die aard van hierdie kwelling aan die hand van verweefde teoretiese en filosofiese benaderings, sowel as van voorbeelde uit die poësie en letterkundige prosa. Daar word aan die hand gedoen dat die opleiding van sielkundestudente in die algemeen, en studente in opvoedkundige sielkunde in die besonder, wat met digitale media grootgeword het, opnuut in oënskou geneem behoort te word. Wanneer aanlyn digitale media die oorwegende gereedskap word waarmee betekenis ontsluit en vertolk word, sê dit moontlik iets van die wyse waarop mense hul wêreld epistemologies en ontologies benader. In hierdie opsig dien die steeds uitdyende digitale verbruiksgeoriënteerde bestaan, gekenmerk deur nut/utiliteit en onmiddellikheid, toenemend as hubris waardeur die mensdom tot ondergang gedoem skyn te wees. Hierdie ondergang het nie noodwendig te make met die uitsterwing van Homo sapiens nie, maar het eerder betrekking op ŉ verarming van die funksie van woord- en taalgebruik en denke in die mens se strewe na betekenisskepping. Onlangse navorsing wil te kenne gee dat die snelle hibridisering (die mens-masjien-versmelting) waaraan die mensdom blootgestel is, ten koste van sekere kennisverwerwings- en betekenisskeppingsfunksies geskied. Een van dié funksies is die soeke na samehang deur middel van diepgaande interpretasieraamwerke ten einde weg te beweeg van chaos en versplintering op sosiale en persoonlik-psigiese vlak. Hiervolgens gaan dit veral om die verarmde rol van denke en taal as noodsaaklike lewensmiddele om die fyn netwerk van skakerings van gebeure en belewenisse te artikuleer. ŉ Oorwegend gedigitaliseerde kultuur wat nouliks staanplek aan die ryk register van persoonlike ervarings gee, kan daartoe lei dat synsbetekenis gereduseer word tot gefilterde kitsklaar belewenis- en kennisbrokke wat van noodsaaklike nuansering ontdaan is. In hierdie artikel poog ek om aan die hand van verskeie teorieë in die filosofie en sielkunde, analitiese letterkundebesprekings, en onlangse inligtingswetenskaplike navorsingsbevindinge helderheid te verkry oor die wyse waarop die digitalemediakultuur verband hou met die behoefte aan ŉ estetiese ingesteldheid, spesifiek as ŉ psigoterapeutiese kwaliteit. Ter verrekening hiervan verduidelik ek die wyse waarop sekere kunsvorme as rigtingwyser vir die estetiese ingesteldheid die denkhandelinge van die psigoterapeut en opvoedkundige sielkundige kan bevorder en verryk. Ons wêreld is betrokke op die middels waardeur ons dit benader. Derhalwe is die geskiedenis gedeeltelik die geskiedenis van gereedskap. Daardie ou houtkapper se byl was die bril waardeur hy die wêreld gesien het, en deur die voel van sy steel het hy alles gevoel. Marthinus Versfeld (2008:46)

“…defininG Metaxis according to Vermeulen and van den akker (2010), the key philosophical concept that defines the metamodern perspective is metaxis. counselors find this word originally appearing in the dialogues of Plato, where it is used to describe the in-betweenness of the human condition: suspended between polarities and opposites of all types (Vermeulen & van den akker, 2010). at the risk of glossing over a particularly nuanced and hotly debated philosophical concept, metaxis is a way of describing the human condition in terms of tension between all sorts of opposites.…”
