Abstract

The study of literature, theatre, cinema, the visual arts, television, and music has undergone an evolution that has produced a rupture with traditional notions of unity, authority, and space/time. This rupture has meant the emergence of a new theoretical discourse and new ways of studying the works that make up the new notion of the literary. In this article, I use Edward S. Casey’s notion of re-implacement to refer to the way in which places, as well as the events that occur within them, are assimilated, processed, and represented by artistic media that combine different techniques and disciplines. From this starting point, I analyze a number of texts that can be defined as forming part of a cyberculture in which the spectator-reader encounters a rich terminological vocabulary that corresponds to concepts such as multimedia, transmedia, intermedia, hypermedia, and postmedia.
