Culturas literárias e cultura digital : percursos, cruzamentos, desafios

Abstract

Contemporary times are characterised by the experience of a digital culture with deep consequences in different fields: literary creation, Literary Studies or teaching literature. As a teacher and researcher living in a "sociedad red" (Castells, 2001), the main goal, in this present paper, is to contribute to the overall discussion related to the crossings and challenges that the hypermedia develops or can develop in what regards the construction and diffusion of literary cultures, because, in the one hand, hypermedia allows to explore artistic creation in a joint with information technologies and, on the other hand, it carries out new ways of approaching literary text. Within the teaching of literature is vital to think and to analyse contemporary reading practices since the reading is a basic tool in the teach-learning process.
