The application of technology to information, communication, and
culture has been through the history of humanity a key factor in
social progress and well being. Literatures in the Digital Era:
Theory and Praxis analyses in its twenty chapters the impacts of
digital technology for the contemporary culture. The literary
system is being powerfully affected in three aspects. In the first
place, computer resources have been used to preserve and edit
literary texts, associating to them graphical material, links with
related texts or with dictionaries, and, above all, developing
search tools of concordance and syntactic/semantic analysis.
Secondly, we are watching the birth of a digital literature, with
new generic characteristics, new creators, with knowledge of both,
technological mechanisms and literary resources, and a reader
capable of interpreting and enjoying texts on the screen. Thirdly,
literary theory has expressed new postulates with regard to the
multiple authorship of digital texts, the disintegration of the
textual meaning, the intertextuality and implications of the reader
in the creation process and the interpretation of the texts. These
three impacts imply, for some authors, the search of a new paradigm
for the creation, reading, and interpretation of digital texts,
which points to a new humanism.
