This article is a critical analysis of different potential ways of discussing the phenomenon of electronic literature based on an extensive revision of the critical bibliography on the subject. After discussing its analogous precedents, this introductory essay explores some of the limits of the debate on cultural change due to technology in general, and cognitive changes as related to computation specifically. An analysis of some expressions of digital literature leads to the proposal of categories for further investigation, such as the momentary and corporeity. Together with some periodizations of digital literature history, the essay discusses some key concepts that are used to explain this artistic expression.
