Aesthetic Transaction, Digital Answerability and Literature: Contact Light brings the theories of John Dewey, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Louise Rosenblatt into the evolving world of digital culture, where texts, images, and performances move through widening currents of circulation and meaning gathers shape through renewed contact. Dewey describes aesthetic activity as a rhythmic joining of feeling and form. Bakhtin's early essays, often overshadowed by his later studies of dialogue, offer a vivid account of expression as an act charged with responsibility and animated by the demand for response. Rosenblatt reimagines reading as a poem created in the meeting of text and reader in lived time. Together, their theories show aesthetic activity as a practice of perception and relation moving through everyday experience.
Digital culture brings these ideas into sharper view. A single sentence, image, or gesture travels outward and returns in altered settings, gaining new resonance with each encounter. Contemporary theorists such as Wendy Hui Kyong Chun show how circulation and repetition shape attention and response, revealing aesthetic activity as a living exchange carried by the ways expression is seen and shared. Examples ranging from the acclaimed Broadway adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray to the swift, recursive currents of TikTok illustrate how meaning deepens through repetition, reinterpretation, and collective attention.
