      ab: This paper analyses the impact of blogs on the Hispanic literary field, and how the spreading of blogs concerned with literary critics and poetry is questioning traditional hierarchies. It looks at how literary reviews and critics on the Internet are superseding traditional criticism, which has been accused of an excessive interdependence between publishers, newspapers, poets, and critics. It will be argued that, in this competition between paper and Internet media, the former often functions as a conservative academic bastion whose prestige is being constantly contested. In addition, attention will be paid to websites like Las afinidades electivas, defined as 'an attempt for virtual interconnection between contemporary Spanish poets', social networks which recently have influenced other collective initiatives. In all these cases, the focus will be on the formal and thematic challenges which this new medium of diffusion offers for the development of a new literature.
