Abstract

Taking from the playful-pedagogical potential of combinatorial and permutational processes in wreading (writing-reading), in this article we propose to discuss possible applications of digital literature in the context of the development of environmental education strategies. Through the analysis of cyberliterary poem Árvore (2018), by researcher and experimental poet Rui Torres, and its relationship with artivist and hacktivist practices, digital literature is placed in dialogue with issues such as sustainability and technological obsolescence.In addition, as integral parts of an ecosystem, reference will be made to (post)digital artistic-literary creations with an international impact, such as, About Trees, by (2015), by Katie Holten, DEFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREST (2017), by Joana Moll, and Amazon (2019), by Eugenio Tisselli. Also, in order to illustrate the continuity of digital literature in the broader context of experimental practices, we analyse some of its precursors, such as Soneto Ecológico (2005), a public land art installation by Fernando Aguiar.Putting in dialogue tradition and innovation, several paths of possibility from digital literature are written (and recombined), as an artistic-literary manifestation and as an educational, interventional and mobilizing tool.
