Abstract

The development of digital literature in Indonesia in this era of globalization has brought a wide range of impacts in all fields. From the product to the consumer aspect (readers or users of digital storytelling apps). In addition, the interaction between writer and reader, and the reader with reader as well as the account owner’s relationship with the app owner, has raised new issues that need to be investigated in depth. The question discussed in this study is as follows: (1) why the concepts of socialist realism and capitalism can be found in the ecology of digital literature, and (2) What is the mechanism of these two concepts in the ecology of digital literature? The method used is qualitative descriptive. The material objects of this research are digital storytelling applications such as Wattpad and Noveltoon, while the formal objects are aspects of socialist realism and capitalism. The results of this discussion show that in the nteraction of writer with reader, reader with reporter, and account owner with app owner Wattpad and Noveltoon, there is a conceptual dualism of socialist realism and capitalism. It is caused by social symptoms that increasingly clarify the social classes and the motivation of the app's owner hidden through the design on the homepage within the digital story application.
