Abstract

The objective of this research is to supplement the reflections developed on the Scientific Initiation research previously executed between August 2019 and October 2020, partially funded by CNPq and entitled "Brazilian Digital Literature: Cartography of the Critical Production". Therefore, it is proposed to realize a construction of a "Conceptual Network of the Brazilian Digital Literature", taking as a starting point the data obtained on the mapping of critical texts (articles and essays published on scientific periodicals) about the Brazilian Digital Literature, developed over the former research. Through the development of this project, it is expected from the researcher to be capable of building a conceptual network, in other words, a reflection about the theoretical genesis and the critical path of terminologies that the literary critics have been using to describe and analyze the emergence of Brazilian digital literary production. This effort is justified by the fact that the theoretical-critical metalanguage about Digital Literature is not consolidated yet and in what concerns the brasilian case, the reflections about its specificities are still insufficient.
