        abstract = {This article explores the radical transformation of English Studies as it navigates the transition from print-centric traditions to the affordances of the digital age. It examines how the "digital turn" has expanded the boundaries of the discipline, integrating multimodal literacy, electronic literature, and algorithmic criticism into the standard curriculum. The study analyzes the shift in scholarly labor, moving from the solitary act of close reading to collaborative, data-driven methodologies such as distant reading and corpus linguistics. Furthermore, it addresses the pedagogical challenges of teaching literature and composition in an era dominated by generative AI and hyper-textuality. Ultimately, the article argues that the digital era does not signal the decline of English Studies but rather necessitates a re-conceptualization of literacy, where the critical evaluation of code, interface, and narrative remains central to understanding the human condition in a networked world.},
