Literary formats in the context of digital narratives

Abstract

This article proposes a theoretical-critical analysis of the trajectories of human narratives up to their reconfiguration In digital culture and their effects on contemporary literature. The objective is to understand how the technical and cultural transformations that mark the passage from orality to writing and, subsequently, to the digital, affect the ways of narrating, reading, and producing literary texts. The methodology used is qualitative and bibliographical In nature, based on authors such as Pierre Lévy (1996), Roger Chartier (1990), and Henry Jenkins (2009), among others. The work is divided Into two main parts: the first revisits the historical trajectory of narratives; the second discusses the characteristics of digital narratives and their implications for reading and writing processes, as well as the effects of these transformations In the literary field, with a brief mention of phenomena such as booktokers on TikTok as an example of contemporary mediation. It is argued that literature does not disappear In the digital age but rather shifts and reinvents itself, resignifying In the Interplay between tradition and Innovation, language and technology, paper and screen.
