Abstract

This article intends, from the concepts of literary and media studies, to prove the existence of one oral urban-digital narrator. Our reflection will be organized in 4 periods: 1) Locating the field: The Restinga neighborhood, in which we will unveil, besides this peripheral area and its narrators, our motivations towards this research; 2) The relationship among the academic world, periphery and narrative: the remediation and the digital, focusing on elements of  digital studies and  the remediation concept, to present oral urban-digital narrative and our relationship as researchers with the inhabitants of this peripheral neighborhood; 3) The concept of digital hiperficcional storytelling, about which we will be attempting to discuss, in order to, therefore, conceptualize the urban-digital narrator, from the interactive-fictional narrative of “Maragato” and; 4) Finally, we will report some of the conclusions we reached with our research.
