Abstract: |
Digitalization transforms the physical text into an intangible one, while simultaneously multiplying the layers of the text (binary system, code, text on the screen, hidden text, etc.). In the text-centered, multimodal system that is the internet, the dissemination of text occurs through new means, such as electronic publishing in various formats, simple hypertextual or electronic posting, print-on-demand, and so forth, thereby overturning the established norms of writing, publishing, and reading. At the same time, the vast storage and processing capabilities of computers allow for the creation of enormous libraries—essentially gigantic bodies of texts. In multilingual digital electronic libraries such as the French Gallica, virtual libraries like Google Books, collaborative projects like Gutenberg.org, author archives, and cyberliterature collections, world literature takes tangible form for the first time, even as our perception and reception of it change.
