Textualization of the Space and Spatialization of the Text

Abstract

The concept of space bears a long history within metalanguages of literary studies, especially those concerned with literary narrative. From its usage in this context, space, that has not necessarily been a central category in narratology studies, is a starting point for reflections that lead to the notion of cyberspace. What is of interest is a conceptual reformulation that is determined by possibilities expressed and represented in digital languages in electronic media, often requiring collaboration with the reader. The writing and hypertextual reading develop within a context where the spatial dimension of texts is reinvented.
