Heritage in Digital Literary Discourse: An Analytical Approach to Fawaz Al-Laboun's Tweets

This study examines heritage in digital literary discourse through an analytical approach to the tweets of Fawaz Al-Laboun, within a contemporary narrative context shaped by the digital sphere, where narrative forms intersect with creative expression. The study traces transformations in the presence of heritage within the digital environment and explores the potential of short-form narration when employed to generate poetic, cultural, and rhetorical meanings on social media platforms, particularly X. The study relies on the analysis of six selected digital news texts drawn from Al-Laboun's posts. These texts were chosen based on their connection to cultural memory and narrative structure, as well as their capacity to generate meaningful audience interaction within the digital platform. Together, they constitute revealing models of the diversity of digital literary news between heritage-based and everyday contexts, and of the narrative and interactive meanings produced in digital space. The study concludes that heritage in digital literary discourse represents a qualitative narrative shift in which genre boundaries intersect, reshaping the relationship between text and audience and granting digital literary news a renewed cultural and communicative function that connects heritage with the contemporary digital context.
