The field of literature is witnessing significant developments at various levels and in different domains, particularly in language and literary criticism. One of the major characteristics of this development is the shift in scholarly research from an exclusive focus on the text and its author toward greater attention to the recipient of the text, thereby granting the reader a central role in various literary studies. Alongside this shift, the literary text itself has undergone significant transformation, moving from the traditional printed text to the modern digital text, accompanied by a parallel development in the field of literary criticism. A critic of the printed text can no longer adopt the same approaches and rules when analyzing and interpreting a digital text. This situation requires Arab critics to develop and adopt specialized tools that enable them to engage with this form of literary production in its various genres and forms, including poetry and prose (novels, plays, short stories, etc.). This raises the following question: How can we read the digital text by drawing upon the various theories offered by contemporary literary criticism?
