From Homo Sapiens to Homo Digitalis: Writing Proposals in Literary Blogs in Venezuela

The imminence of the technological revolution has touched literature. Colina (2003) takes up Daniel Bell's indications about postindustrial societies. According to this US sociologist, in human history, the communications media - key elements for social dialog - have undergone four different revolutions: language, writing, printing and telecommunications. In this imminence, relations of the writer with cyberspace determine new conditions for writing marked by freedom of form. Based on the concept of cyber language developed by Barrera Linares (2009), it is possible to understand what the diverse written and transgeneric ideas propose: today, traditional written culture and its formats face a virtual linguistic culture that is not its mirror but a necessary complement, originating from multimedia technology. This study proposes to approach the transgeneric in literary blogs, from its dimension inside the technological revolution, within the framework of virtual communities and cyberlanguage, and from an aspect that seems to come together in the blogs under study: the notebook as a hinge form that seeks dialog with the forms proposed in blogs in Venezuela. Proposing this dynamic, this dialog among discursive propositions, could lead to placing form on the table again in all its manifestations. The result could be stimulating and generate new reflections.
