| description | This paper proposes a reading of American poet Keneth Goldsmith›s Uncreative Writing. ManagingLanguage in the Digital Age (2015) which corresponds to my personal review of the book –linked withother readings and particularly with my creative and research experience. It is organized by «theses» orpieces that briefly develop some of the ideas contained in Goldsmith›s proposal. This way of proceedinghas generated three approaches: 1) post-identity expressiveness as a substitute of creative authenticity,2) the literary canonical forms’ reevaluation as an effect of the deployment of interactive digital communication, 3) the effects on literary practice in the digital culture. With this reading of Goldsmith, a callon understanding the possibilities of the digital as an opportunity to renew literary practice is proposedat the end. The paper ends with an addendum: the short story “El hombre de la esquina”, which complements, in a fictional register, the ideas elaborated here. |

Este artículo propone una lectura de la obra Escrituras no creativas. Gestionando el lenguaje en la era digital (traducción de Uncreative Writing. Managing Language in the Digital Age; 2015) del poeta norteamericano Kenneth Goldsmith. Esta lectura corresponde a la revisión propia del libro, está basada en resonancias personales (vínculos con otras lecturas y sobre todo con la trayectoria creativa e investigativa del autor de este artículo). El estudio está organizada por «tesis» o fragmentos que desarrollan brevemente algunas de las ideas contenidas en la propuesta de Goldsmith. Este modo de proceder ha generado reflexiones que ponen énfasis en tres planteamientos: 1) la expresividad postidentitaria como sucedánea de la originalidad creativa, 2) la relativización de las formas canónicas de la literatura como efecto del despliegue de la comunicación digital interactiva y 3) los efectos sobre el ejercicio literario en el ámbito de la cultura digital. Con esta lectura de Goldsmith se propone al final un llamado a entender las posibilidades de lo digital como una oportunidad para renovar el ejercicio literario. El artículo termina con una adenda: el cuento El hombre de la esquina, que complementa, en registro ficcional, las ideas elaboradas. Este artigo propõe uma leitura da obra do poeta norte-americano Keneth Goldsmith Escritas no criativas.Dirigindo a linguagem na era digital (do original Uncreative Writing. Managing Language in the DigitalAge, 2015), por meio de uma revisão pessoal do livro baseada em ressonâncias pessoais (vínculos comoutras leituras e, sobretudo, com o próprio percurso criativo e investigativo) organizadas por “teses”ou trechos que desenvolvem sucintamente algumas das ideias contidas na proposta de Goldsmith. Estemodo de proceder tem gerado reflexões que fazem ênfase em três abordagens: 1) a expressividade pósidentitária como substituta da originalidade criativa, 2) a relativização de formas canônicas da literaturacomo efeito do desdobramento da comunicação digital interativa e 3) os efeitos sobre o exercícioliterário no âmbito da cultura digital. Com esta leitura de Goldsmith propõe-se no final um chamado aoentendimento das possibilidades do digital como uma oportunidade para renovar o exercício literário. Oartigo termina com uma adenda: o conto O homem na esquina, que completa, no registro ficcional, asideias desenvolvidas.
