Is there a Literature in this Class?

Summary/Abstract: The main objective of this article is to present the way in which digital literature announces its literariness: the first part includes a definition of digital literature, followed by several reflection questions (which, however, do not necessarily require unequivocal answers). The second part of the article mentions current methods of defining literariness and its inclusion criteria. The third part focuses on reasons why the term is being blurred, with reference to digital literature, and presents a number of notions from within the artistic and literary culture which indicate that the borders between media and those domains are being erased. The final part of the article determines the factors that identify digital works as piece of literature.
