Literary notes about Transcript (AI summary)
The term "transcript" in literature exhibits remarkable versatility, serving both as a literal record and as a metaphor for deeper interpretative or reflective processes. In some works, it is used to denote an exact replication of a discussion or document, as seen in formal settings where records of proceedings are made [1, 2, 3]. In others, it transcends its mere mechanical recitation to capture underlying thoughts, intentions, or even the essence of a culture—being described as a "mental chart" [4] or a manifestation of moral and material facts [5]. Moreover, the word sometimes carries a connotation of authenticity, with deviations representing perversions or near-direct reproductions [6, 7], while in creative narratives it can evoke the unfolding of a dreamlike experience [8]. This multifaceted usage underscores how "transcript" operates not only as a record of events but also as a bridge connecting ideas, memories, and identities across literary genres [9, 10, 11, 12].
