Abstract

The massive use of information technology in some cities in Indonesia has caused the emergence of new phenomenon in the field of literature. Literary medium which previously was dominated by print has gradually shifted to digital media. The emergence of literary works written and published directly in digital media either in internet or social media has encouraged new form of sensibility within Indonesian literary world. The phenomenon has attracted some literary scholars to scrutinize the continuity of digital literature. However, the dynamic of digital literature has lack of serious attention from scholars or academician. This paper describes the trends and polemics within academic discussion on digital literature. By using google scholars search engine, journals database, and online university library resources, the paper identified trends, pattern, and approaches in analyzing digital literature. This paper argues that studies on digital literature in Indonesia is shackled on the polemic of quality and its emergence in contemporary Indonesia.
