Ser diferente é ser existente. A literatura electrónica en Galicia

Abstract

Literature looks for new ways to reach out readers taking advantage of the so called digital era. The special conditions of the Internet create new aesthetics and also new ways of production, circulation and reception. This, apart of modifying the publishing industry, can modify how authors approach the creation of their literature. With this small contribution I want to provide a view on the way literature is created in the Internet in a Galician context, reviewing some paradigmatic examples. Thus, this text wants to be a first X-ray of the status of the digital literature creation process in the Galician portion of the Internet, a first analysis of the situation, difficulties and future possibilities. I’ll focus mainly onthe blog phenomena, since is the support most widely accessible to the public and the creator not familiar with more complex digital resources.
