Abstract

O objetivo deste artigo é esboçar as origens da literatura eletrônica e destacar alguns momentos importantes para traçar sua história. Ao fazê-lo, consideramos a variedade de idiomas, origens culturais, heranças culturais e contextos nos quais a literatura digital foi criada. O artigo está dividido em cinco seções: uma breve história da literatura eletrônica em geral (no entanto, devemos admitir que esta seção tem um ponto de vista muito etnocêntrico) e depois quatro outras seções divididas em norte-americana, latino-americana, européia (Rússia incluída), e Literatura Eletrônica Árabe. Devido à falta de informações, não há seção dedicada à Literatura Eletrônica na Ásia, embora alguns textos sejam mencionados. Estamos cientes dos limites dessa divisão e dos problemas que ela pode criar, no entanto, achamos que era a maneira mais fácil de mapear rapidamente as origens da literatura eletrônica e seu desenvolvimento em diferentes países e continentes. O artigo mostra como alguns países desenvolveram seu interesse e criação de literatura eletrônica quase simultaneamente, enquanto outros, apenas por causa de sua própria formação cultural e / ou contextos (também políticos e econômicos), só recentemente descobriram a literatura eletrônica, ou aceitaram-na como uma nova forma de gênero literário.

Summary

Introduction

The aim of this chapter is to sketch the origins of electronic literature and to highlight some important moments in order to trace its history. Electronic literature is a form of literature that started to appear with the advent of computers and digital technology. There are different possible definitions of electronic literature or digital literature. In order to trace the origins of electronic literature around the world we need to consider the variety of languages, cultural backgrounds, cultural heritages, and contexts in which digital literature has been created. We are aware of the limits of this division and of the problems it can create (for instance, does it make sense to geographically divide a literature that seems to be a true world literature?), we thought it was the easiest way to shortly map out the origins of electronic literature and its development in different countries and continents. Due to the lack of information, there is no section devoted to Electronic Literature in Asia, a few texts will be mentioned
