Poetic creation in new contexts networked poetry and cyberpoetry

Abstract

In this paper we approach the literary practices with which young readers have a greater connection today. Creation in networks and reading through screens have configured a new communication model between authors and recipients that we need to analyse in order to have starting points on which to build literary education. The main objective of the present study is to review the modifications arising from ICT in the creation and reception of poetry, through the description of some of the literary content that young people access from digital devices, conceptually delimiting two major types of reading, which require very different skills and sticking to the field of poetry, one of the genres with great popularity among young people and adolescents. It is concluded that a specific training of mediators in reading and writing is necessary not only to make all these areas visible, but also to use them in favor of literary education.
