Language is a virus? Some questions about digital literature in times of Big Data and algorithmic governance
In this work, we intend to analyze —from the word virus as an interface between fields— some of the proposals of William Burroughs in The Electronic Revolution (1970). We wonder about the new echoes and meanings that the cut-up technique can acquire in Latin America today, at a time when —in the dig...

In this work, we intend to analyze —from the word virus as an interface between fields— some of the proposals of William Burroughs in The Electronic Revolution (1970). We wonder about the new echoes and meanings that the cut-up technique can acquire in Latin America today, at a time when —in the digital domain— the viral has assumed new inflections. The observation of the way in which the subject is thought in Burroughsian texts leads us to question ourselves about the possible space for a subject in literature in an era traversed by Big Data and algorithmic governance. To delve into this question, we analyze two digital literature productions —Scalpoema (2001) by Joesér Álvarez and No poseas un miedo (2020) by Matías Buonfrate— guided by the concepts of necroescrituras and desapropiación by Cristina Rivera Garza. From there, we investigate the diverse ways that these productions propose to work on linguistic matter, and we wonder if they discuss the naturalized modes of neoliberalism, necropower, and their conceptions of language as a mere tool at the service of appropriation and extractivism.
