Booktubeurs, bookstagrammeurs : médiation, critique, curation...

Abstract

: In the context of a digital culture, this brief reflection involves considering a complexification of reading practices and a possible reconfiguration of the field of critical reception through the phenomenon of booktubing and the figure of the booktuber, a mediatorreviewer. It is important to consider the not insignificant role of this actor with regard to a social reading, by going beyond questions of legitimacy regarding the exercise of the critical activity and questions of hierarchy between scholarly reading practices and practices of ordinary reading.
