Abstract

The concept of ‘space’ bears a long history within the metalanguages of literary studies, especially those concerned with literary narrative. Although space has never been a central category in narratology studies, it is a starting point for reflections that lead to the notion of cyberspace. The above requires a conceptual reformulation determined by possibilities expressed and represented in digital languages in the electronic media, often requiring collaboration with the reader. Writing and hypertextual reading develop within a context where the spatial dimension of texts is reinvented.
