illustrate a variety of ways of approaching digital storytelling, from multidisciplinary perspectives, by
a new generation of scholars working on this field. While the contributions to this special issue vary
considerably in terms of the primary materials they analyze and the critical approaches they employ,
there are several identifiable tendencies that allow us to divide these interventions into three major
trajectories. A first set of articles deals with the evolving relationship between electronic narrative and
print media, analyzing examples of crossover between the two spheres. A second trajectory among
the contributions to this volume examines specific digital media technologies and the new genres and
modes of expression they have engendered. The third and final set of contributions focuses on the
ways digital communities and social networks have impacted literary practice and creative expression
in the Spanish-speaking world.
