One problem that intersects several of these changes is the imbalance between the impact of technological advances in recent years on the production and circulation of literature and their lack of visibility in university programs. First, I identify some recent means of circulation and dissemination of Latin American literature in digital environments, with special attention to Caribbean literatures, since in this case, the randomness characteristic of networks renews traditional ways of experiencing these practices. Second, I describe features of these circuits that promote reading experiences limited to brevity, multimodality, and fragmentation. The conciseness and fleeting nature of these forms would connect practices as diverse as excerpts intended for mass cultural consumption, avant-garde experiments, and current hyperlinks. Finally, I present some indications of the changes that are coming in the formation of teaching and research corpora on Latin American literatures, especially Caribbean ones. Los estudios literarios latinoamericanos sienten los cambios inevitables producidos por la transformación digital y la inteligencia artificial generativa. Un problema que entrecruza algunos de estos cambios es el desbalance entre el impacto de los avances tecnológicos de los últimos años en la producción y circulación de las literaturas y su falta de visibilidad en los programas universitarios. En primer lugar, identifico algunos medios recientes de circulación y diseminación de la literatura latinoamericana en entornos digitales, con especial atención a las literaturas caribeñas, puesto que, en este caso, la aleatoriedad propia de las redes renueva modos tradicionales de experimentar lo literario. En segundo lugar, describo rasgos de estos circuitos que promueven experiencias de lectura circunscriptas a la brevedad, la multimodalidad y el fragmento. La concisión y fugacidad de estas formas conectaría prácticas tan diversas como los recortes destinados al consumo cultural de las masas, los experimentos vanguardistas y los hipervínculos actuales. Por último, enuncio algunos indicios de los cambios que se avecinan en la formación de corpus de docencia e investigación sobre literaturas latinoamericanas y, en especial, caribeñas.
