- Abstract
This essay discusses, from the perspective of Actor-Network Theory and the theory of the materialities of communication, the new electronic reading devices. At first, we compare the materiality of different reading devices (computers, tablets, and electronic readers -- e-book readers), and, second, through Actor-Network Theory, we discuss new forms of informational location, which is took from printed the book as the original source. We question the notion of original in works of art, including literature, to affirm that the copy is an important trajectory from an original source. In this sense, the author question the misfit of print culture in nowadays digital culture.
