This paper offers a perspective on the Internet and literature
interface, with a special focus on the issue of intertextuality, in an
attempt to delimit those issues specific to networked literature, as
against digital or hypertextual literature. I will focus on literature
as a family of medium-conditioned discursive practices, and examine the
consequences of digital networks for a redefinition of these practices.
These consequences will be approached from four viewpoints: a
perspective on the Internet as literature, and of literature as an
Internet: together with an examination of literature in the Internet,
and of the Internet in literature. Among the topics addressed will be
issues of interactivity, the blogosphere, postmodernist fiction, and the
cyborganization of social communication.
