Often considered a vector for major change, digital practices represent an opportunity through which to better understand literature and literary space by revealing, more explicitly than ever before, ontological elements that have, as such, timeless value. In particular, and as is the focus of this article, digital creation offers an opportunity to revive a debate that has persisted throughout the history of thought on the status of literature dating back to Plato and Aristotle : that of the relationship between literature and reality, the opposition of which Sartre and Derrida had already sought to deconstruct during the 20th century. We find that digital space highlights the absence of separation between symbolic and non-symbolic, thereby preventing us from considering a break between imaginary and reality. To address this structure, we turn to the concept of editorialization, which refers to the set of devices that allow for content production in digital space while accounting for the fusion of digital and non-digital spaces. Through literary examples – Traques Traces by Cécile Portier and Laisse venir by Anne Savelli and Pierre Ménard – we will demonstrate how literature today participates in editorializing the world, therefore definitively burying the imaginary-reality binary in favour of an anamorphic structure.
