For Free: The Economics of Digital Literature

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the subfield of digital literature from an economic and sociological perspective. Marecki uses Chris Anderson’s tools, especially his category of freeconomy, which refers to non-monetary markets and the economy of the gift. The category “for free” is used as a part of the lexicon used to describe the mechanisms that regulate the exchange of digital works in the subfield. What is more, Marecki identifies the new rules of the game that the category “for free” has brought about (e.g. the circumvention of traditional mediators and the work’s instant reception). The subfield of digital literature in the USA and Poland is presented from a comparative point of view.
