A kind of poetry that tries to understand contemporary social and philosophical issues as much as behaviors by rewriting in a poetic language the video artwork of some of the main representatives of modernism and postmodernism. Such poetry is deprived of confessional hues, any personal reference has to be ascribed to a mirroring effect by which the single person empathically absorbs and projects what is conveyed, be it stemming directly from the historical time of the artwork's making and inherited, or alive at the time of its actual viewing. By following a restructuring process started at the beginning of the twentieth century, the writing analyzes possible ways to outline developments or to underline breaking points. Poetry is seen as an active medium within the formation of societies characterized as it is by its highly introspective power, not restricted to the individual but open to all beings perceived as members of one entity.

Theoretically, it includes works of recent book historians, such as Alberto Manguel, Roger Chartier and Peter Burke, so that an analysis of this media, its characteristics, readers, and the process of reading could be approached. In order to have a clearer understanding relating to changes that have been brought by the new media today, the change from the text to the hypertext and the advent of the 'cyber literature', I also explore the studies of authors such as Pierre Lévy, Lucia Santaella, and Janet Murray, among others. The corpus considered is composed of some classical literary compositions in digital format such as 'Os Lusíadas' by Luiz Vaz de Camões, and 'Iracema' by José de Alencar, which are compared to printed versions. Having started with the hypothesis that young fiction readers do not read books, I believe that such hypothesis was confirmed; however, it has also been noticed that, even with the Internet, they do not read as much and, a lot of times, the Internet per se is of great usefulness for printed books / O presente estudo constitui-se de uma pesquisa teórica, de índole comparativa, em torno dos leitores de textos de ficção impressos e textos de ficção nos meios digitais, principalmente na rede de computadores. Baseio-me nas obras e teorizações dos recentes historiadores do livro, a exemplo de Alberto Manguel, Roger Chartier e Peter Burke, para investigar a história desta mídia, com sua figuração própria do autor, do leitor e da leitura. Para uma maior compreensão das transformações que estão sendo trazidas hoje pelas novas mídias, notadamente a passagem do texto ao hipertexto e o advento da assim chamada "ciberliteratura", exploro os trabalhos de autores como Pierre Lévy, Lucia Santaella e Janet Murray, entre outros. O corpus da pesquisa compõe-se de pesquisa dos leitores das ficções hipertextuais que, segundo a investigação realizada, estão suplantando a cultura do livro. Entram aí algumas obras da literatura clássica, a exemplo de Os Lusíadas, de Luiz Vaz de Camões e Iracema, de José de Alencar, cuja formatação digital comparamos com as clássicas formatações impressas. Tendo partido da hipótese de que os atuais jovens leitores de ficção passam ao largo do livro, acredito ter podido mostrar que tal hipótese se confirma, embora tenha ficado evidenciado também que, mesmo na rede de computadores, eles não lêem tanto e, muitas vezes, a rede de computadores sirva de novo o texto impresso
