Resumo: | This paper revisits and discusses the early American Electronic Literature from the birth of Interactive Fiction in the 1970s. Then, it evaluates the impacts of the 1980’s computer revolution on literary production along with the arising of a larger theoretical and critical interest in the relation literature vs. technology. To do so, it introduces the emergence of such scholarship through the history of the subgenre Hyperfiction from the creation of the textual software Storyspace (1987) by Michael Joyce and Jay Bolter, its acquisition by the Eastgate Systems and, as consequence, the emergence of the only cohesive and recognized literary corpus of the genre. Ultimately, this investigation exposes and analyzes the relationship between Interactive Fiction and Hyperfiction in the interstice when the former declined while the latter ascended to understand its reasons and impacts in the Electronic Literature scenario. |

Na esteira, segue até a década de 1980 para avaliar os impactos da revolução informática no fazer literário, assim como o surgimento de um maior interesse teórico-crítico nas relações entre literatura e tecnologia. Para tanto, apresenta o surgimento dessa área de estudo através da história do subgênero Hiperficção a partir do programa de criação textual Storyspace (1987), criado por Michael Joyce e Jay Bolter, sua aquisição pela Eastgate Systems e o surgimento, como resultado, do único corpus literário coeso e reconhecido do gênero. Por fim, este estudo expõe e analisa a relação entre a Ficção Interativa e a Hiperficção no interstício em que se deu o declínio da primeira e a ascensão da segunda, na busca de entender seus motivos e impactos no cenário da Literatura Eletrônica.UFSC2021-01-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/7479310.5007/2175-8026.2021.e74793Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 74 No. 1 (2021): LiteratureIlha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 74 n. 1 (2021): Literatura2175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/74793/45281Copyright (c) 2020 Cláudio Augusto Carvalho Mourahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMoura, Cláudio Augusto Carvalho2021-01-28T02:23:10Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/74793Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2021-01-28T02:23:10Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
