A Probe into the New Interactive Narrative of Digital Literature
Interactive narrative is the most basic feature of digital literature.Interactivity was formally adopted as a term for digital technology in the 1990s,when Brenda Lauer formally introduced the concept of interactive storytelling in Computers as Thea-tre.Digital literature derived from information technology absorbs the interactive characteristics of new media and produces a new type of interactive narrative.Meanwhile,the phased characteristics of digital literature based on technological development and artis-tic maturity are also mapped to interactive narrative,thus forming several basic types of interactive narrative of digital literature:in-terpersonal interaction,human-computer interaction and embodied interaction.Although there are many types of interactive narration in digital literature,its core characteristics can still be identified:man-machine collaboration,dynamic generation and multidimen-sional nonlinearity.
