Spanish and international authors

Ciberia: Biblioteca de Literatura digital en Español, a collection of electronic literature works in Spanish created by the LEETHI group (European Literatures from Text to Hypermedia), using OdA 2.0., a learning objects’ repository built by ILSA research team at the Computing Sciences Faculty of the University Complutense of Madrid. Ciberia library emerges from the need to make digital literature in Spanish more visible, report its development, and leave a trail that would compensate for its ephemeral quality. This collection is part of the research carried out by two research groups in Spain: ILSA, which has developed the software, and LEETHI. This library now works as the nucleus of derivate projects that includes a publisher focused on electronic literature creation and on electronic and ciberculture theories and is part of Cell Consortium project.

Poststructuralism has influenced novelistic creations along the last forty years, in such a way that novels are changing their linear structure. I would like to describe the importance of some fundamental points of poststructuralism in the structure of three different novels from diverse spanish and international authors who wrote between the 60s and 80s. I will describe the important role played on each by the plot, the author and narrator, and also the reader, whose importance has grown after the apparition of the reader-oriented theories.
