Abstract
RODRIGUEZ RUIZ, JAIME ALEJANDRO. Digital dreams of an author: Digital convergence for the benefit of creative writing. Signo pensam. [online]. 2009, vol.28, n.54, pp.131-143. ISSN 0120-4823.
The emergence of interactive digital technologies has begun to affect discursive practices as solid as literature or creative writing. On the one hand, the circulation of commentary of literary works has become massive and even the license of the reader to intervene such texts is now open; on the other hand, the expression modes and base has been enhanced thanks to the creative use of recombination technologies, even if this means that the resulting products cannot be labelled as literary works and should therefore be placed within the realm of that emerging field where works based on digital interactive technology are now being assigned to, the so called net-art. Furthermore, the numbers of producers is also widening, that is, more and more people have the skills to generate new work (even if they are "small works"); and, finally, the modes of production of such works are also widening to include works that manage singularities as well as collaborative and collective work. This article reflects on possible scenarios for such transformations.
Keywords : Literature; digital literature; net art; cyberculture; recombination technologies; cooperation technologies.
