The Change of Medium and the Medium That Changes: Narrative Literature, Networks and the Digital

Summary/Abstract: This article approaches the second major change of medium that literature went through, from print to digital, and it explores how this change influenced the reading and understanding of narratives. The appearance of the digital created the need for the definition of new terminological webs and facilitated the emergence of a corpus of literary works. This study provides a comparative description of the digital as a medium for literature and a classification of concepts used in the analysis of digital narrative literature, as well as the working paths for the preservation of digital texts and their inclusion under the proposed umbrella term of “network literature.”
