Dynamic facsimiles: note on the transcription of born-digital works for genetic criticism

Born-digital works of literature sometimes present genetic critics with so much data that it becomes possible to analyse not just the microgenesis but even the nanogenesis of small textual units such as sentence versions (textual versions of one single sentence). This ‘work in progress’ essay is a suggestion to visualize these nanogenetic analyses as dynamic facsimiles, a filmic replay of logged keystrokes in parallel with a transcription, by analogy with the popular and effective format of juxtaposing digital facsimiles with their transcription in digital scholarly editions of analogue works.
