This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) investigates the relationship between the creation of digital narratives using the Scratch platform and the articulated development of language and Computational Thinking (CT) in Elementary Education. Grounded in the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), the research explores how computing, divided into the pillars of Digital Culture, Digital World, and CT, can be integrated into the field of Languages to promote multimodal literacy. Following the PRISMA methodology, 12 studies published between 2022 and 2025 were selected and subjected to Bardin’s Content Analysis under a qualitative and critical-interpretative approach. The thematic analysis revealed three core categories: remediation as a pedagogical strategy, the conceptual symbiosis between CT and language, and the role of the agents involved. The critical discussion exposed a significant gap: the predominance of technical transpositions over pedagogical proposals contextualized in students' life experiences. This study identifies such omission as a "situated authorship gap," advocating for a new theoretical-practical framework based on "authorial territoriality" to promote a critical, emancipatory, and culturally rooted digital authorship.
