Abstract

The criticism generated around the short short story has shown that this literary text category is paradigmatic of contemporary human being’s way of being and thinking. Its brief, quick, suggestive and hybrid nature allows it to absorb other speeches from other areas, as well as to enter into dialogue with them. Concurrently, its dissemination through the Internet in recent years and through different circuits proves that it is on the Internet that this kind of fiction finds the ideal habitat to develop its potential. Internet publication also contributes to its current popularity. From this approach, it is very important to address this discourse on the premise that without being born in the technological world as we conceive it today, the short short story has taken advantage of the features of the virtual sphere to spread and become a highly democratized phenomenon, especially from the perspective of their creators.
