Resumo: | This paper analyzes an emerging genre of electronic literature: the “twovel”, in which works on Twitter share characteristics with the novel as a genre, but with the addition of technical and aesthetic particularities of “twitterature”. To do so, we present the genre and then analyze three narratives: “I discovered a murder on Twitter”, by Modesto García (@modesto_garcia); “#RedMonkey”, by the same author, but in partnership with Manuel Bartual (@ManuelBartual); and “Boi”, by Eduardo Hanzo (@EduardoHanzo). We focus on the structure and organization of tweets; the multimedia resources used; the interaction between writer and readers; and the characteristics these texts take on Twitter. We realized that the “thread” tool, a Twitter feature created in 2017, allows more practicality in writing, sharing and reading, and that hypermedia resources help in terms of verisimilitude, characters economy and dynamism in these works. It also allows more direct and indirect interactions between authors and readers. Thus, we conclude that tweetnovels make up an innovative genre, within the third generation of electronic literature; that their style is a blend of literary creation and Twitter’s techno-communicational affordances; and that the “thread” tool is a turning point in the aesthetics of the genre. |

Para tanto, apresentamos o gênero e, na sequência, analisamos três narrativas: “Descobri um assassinato no Twitter”, de Modesto García (@modesto_garcia); “#RedMonkey”, do mesmo autor, mas em parceria com Manuel Bartual (@ManuelBartual); e “Boi”, de Eduardo Hanzo (@EduardoHanzo). Enfocamos na estrutura e organização dos tuítes; nos recursos hipermidiáticos utilizados na narrativa; na interação de escritor e leitores; e nas características que esses textos assumem no Twitter. Percebemos que os “fios”, recurso do Twitter criado em 2017, permitem mais praticidade à escrita, compartilhamento e leitura dos tuiteromances; e que os recursos hipermidiáticos ajudam na constituição de verossimilhança, economia de caracteres e trazem mais dinamicidade às obras. Também, permite aos autores e leitores interações diretas e indiretas. Concluímos que os tuiteromances compõem um gênero inovador, atinente à literatura eletrônica de terceira geração; que seu estilo é definido por uma combinação entre a criação literária e os recursos técnico-comunicacionais da plataforma; e que o surgimento do “fio” é um ponto de virada na estética do gênero.Programa de Pós-graduação em Letras2023-06-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/article/view/4687810.5433/1678-2054.2023vol43n1p39Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; Vol. 43 No. 1 (2023): Literature and Technoculture; 39Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; Vol. 43 Núm. 1 (2023): Literatura y Tecnocultura; 39Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; v. 43 n. 1 (2023): Literatura e Tecnocultura; 391678-2054reponame:Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literáriosinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/article/view/46878/48947Copyright (c) 2023 Denilson Patrick Oliveira Silva, Vinícius Carvalho Pereirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.pt_BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Denilson Patrick OliveiraPereira, Vinícius Carvalho2023-06-08T20:03:08Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/46878Revistahttp://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/indexPUBhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/oaiterraroxa.uel@gmail.com1678-20541678-2054opendoar:2023-06-08T20:03:08Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false |
