Abstract

Abstract:

This article seeks, from the examination of two blogs of literature and criticism in Spanish, to trace the “avatars of criticism” and “the trajectories of writing as a process” in the cross between bookish culture and “digital age”.

From the reading of No hay tal lugar by Cristina Rivera Garza (2002 and continues) and Diario de lecturas by Vicente Luis Mora (2004 and continues) the article traces the ways of appearance of criticism in blogs in general; and the online pages of writers as places of intervention, as writing laboratories, as a place of production of provisional statements, place of construction of author files and as interactive and online works.

Towards the end of the article, the ways of appearance of the literary tradition in the present are examined: the rewriting of expensive texts to the tradition of modernity, the survivors of the canon, the validity in the 21st century of ancient debates in the field.
