Abstract

Stories are pivotal for human beings. For centuries, oral tradition and books carried them. However, faced with an increasingly digital society, in which stories are explored mainly through digital narratives, often interactive, it is crucial to understand the literary linear texts’ place. While these linear stories are already being used to construct interactive digital narratives, it seems pertinent to ask about these interactive objects’ potentialities towards increasing the public’s interest in linear literary texts. For this purpose, we revisit literature’s history, in all of its forms, looking for the potentialities already imminent. Afterward, we will gather case studies similar to the research we intended to carry out. Finally, we go through our own experience studying interactive digital narratives’ potentialities towards linear literary texts. Our results suggest many potentialities due to interactive digital narratives captivating users/readers and facilitating reading the story. However, more studies in the field are urgent for understanding how this potential can be optimized.KeywordsLiteratureInteractiveDigitalNarrativeTwine
