In the last decade, readers who recommend books on different social networks have multiplied. They generate audiences that follow them, positioning themselves in the role of “influencers” and establishing links with publishers. Taking the focus of communication studies on the circulation and the formation of media collectives, this paper aims to investigate the ways of reading on digital platforms, focusing on the experiences of these actors, their reading practices, their relationship with the publishing industry and the incidence of media platforms.

Los avances en las tecnologías digitales han generado cambios en la circulación, recepción y producción de la literatura. En la última década se han multiplicado los lectores que recomiendan libros en distintas redes sociales. Estos generan audiencias que los siguen, posicionándose en el rol de “influencers” y estableciendo vínculos con las editoriales. Tomando el enfoque de los estudios de comunicación sobre la circulación del sentido y la formación de colectivos mediáticos, el presente trabajo se propone indagar en las formas de lectura en las plataformas digitales, haciendo foco en las experiencias de estos actores, sus prácticas de lectura, su relación con la industria editorial y la incidencia de las plataformas mediáticas. Desde un abordaje cualitativo basado principalmente en entrevistas en profundidad, se reconstruyen las trayectorias de cinco lectores que viven en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires y utilizan YouTube, Instagram y TikTok para generar contenidos sobre libros. Se concluye que las lógicas de las distintas redes digitales inciden en las prácticas de lectura colocando a los sujetos en una compleja trama tensionada por la creación de contenidos, la profesionalización, las exigencias de acumular seguidores, la competencia y la comercialización.

Advances in digital technologies have generated changes in the circulation, reception and production of literature. In the last decade, readers who recommend books on different social networks have multiplied. They generate audiences that follow them, positioning themselves in the role of “influencers” and establishing links with publishers. Taking the focus of communication studies on the circulation and the formation of media collectives, this paper aims to investigate the ways of reading on digital platforms, focusing on the experiences of these actors, their reading practices, their relationship with the publishing industry and the incidence of media platforms. From a qualitative approach based mainly on in-depth interviews, we reconstruct the trajectories of five readers who live in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area and use YouTube, Instagram and TikTok to generate content about books. It is concluded that the logics of the different digital networks affect the reading practices, placing the subjects in a complex plot composed of multiple tensions between content creation, professionalization, the demands of accumulate followers, competition and the commercialization. |
