For a poeticity of the literary text in the digital medium

Abstract

Aesthetic valuing, focalizing the different resources and the diverse discursive conventions of the artistic object throughout the centuries of literary history, is directly related to this which we traditionally call poetics. This way, this – the poetics – implies different conceptions of Nature, according to the role attributed, for example, to mimesis. Nevertheless, every aesthetic standard needs reevaluations, in view of moments of extreme aesthetic and poetic reconfigurations, as is the case of the modernist and contemporary poetry. In all, one must currently (re)think not only the conventions of language, but also – and perhaps principally -, the medium by which this language (poetic) (re)produces itself in the electronic medium. Departing from these premises, the object of this assault aims to suggest a redefinition of aesthetic patterns, taking into consideration the new medium, permeated above all by the categories of Merleau-Ponty (speaking-speech and expression), and by the textual operators of Roland Barthes (Writing Degree Zero).
