Sonali Kulkarni on rereading, BookTok and the impact of platforms

Description

How are platforms impacting the ways in which young people read and consume literature? In this video, Sonali Kulkarni discusses how platformization gives visibility to new forms of reading and rereading, combined with new ideas about what it means to be a 'good' reader. She also explains how the growing dominance of platforms forces academics to develop new ways to analyse these digital phenomena, and introduces "feedwork" as a new variant on digital ethnography, taking into account the unstableness and volatility of online platforms.
