Summary/Abstract: In this paper I will try to define and compare three forms of textual embodiment, which are specific to different cultural periods and literary fields. In a diachronic view, those kinds of text are hypertexts only as the main paper-written text in hypermodernism, cybertexts as filling the space between paper and screen (by concerning cybermodernism) and, finally, digitexts (a relatively new concept) as the textual dominant of contemporary digitalism.
