Abstract

The aim of this Dossier – «Literature, Arts and Hypertext on the Web» – is to provide the academic community with a range of readings, seeking to fulfill two primary objectives: on the one hand, to understand the dialogue between aesthetic manifestations and to understand how these, transcending canons, approach a global cultural expression that compromises the local manifestation and the local and traditional substantiation of those; on the other hand, to understand – in a context dominated by the crisis of the traditional idea of ??the Humanities – in which terms the globalization favored by technological development and multimedia processes has contributed to the contours of new semiotic and pragmatic configurations of aesthetic-literary productions.
