Abstract

Abstract:The internet is awash with new popular forms, from TED Talks and podcasts to makeup tutorials and tweets. And yet scholars have only just begun to explore these forms cultural effects. This essay develops an approach to new forms of popular digital "content," grounded in the humanistic theory tradition. The approach draws together formalist methods of analyzing genre from computational literary criticism and new media theory and applies them to the investigation of large databases of popular digital content—material on which neither subfield has yet focused extensively. Illustration is provided through a case study: an analysis of the genres that dominate a database of 18,908 of the most popular blog posts on Medium.com, 2019-2021, considered in relation to posthumanist theories of personhood. In this way, the essay shows what a formalist approach to popular digital content, grounded in literary and new media theory, can contribute to our growing, trans-disciplinary comprehension of digital culture.

内容的形式

摘要：互联网上充斥着新的流行形式，从TED演讲和播客到化妆教程和推特。然而，学者们才刚刚开始探索这些形式的文化效应。本文以人文主义理论传统为基础，探讨了流行数字“内容”的新形式。该方法结合了计算文学批评和新媒体理论中的形式主义流派分析方法，并将其应用于流行数字内容的大型数据库的调查——这两个子领域都尚未广泛关注这些材料。通过一个案例研究提供了例证：分析了2019-2021年Medium.com上18908篇最受欢迎的博客文章的数据库中占主导地位的类型，这些文章被认为与后人道主义人格理论有关。通过这种方式，本文展示了以文学和新媒体理论为基础的对流行数字内容的形式主义方法，可以为我们对数字文化日益增长的跨学科理解做出什么贡献。

期刊介绍： New Literary History focuses on questions of theory, method, interpretation, and literary history. Rather than espousing a single ideology or intellectual framework, it canvasses a wide range of scholarly concerns. By examining the bases of criticism, the journal provokes debate on the relations between literary and cultural texts and present needs. A major international forum for scholarly exchange, New Literary History has received six awards from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals.
