Post-global and post-digital children's literature: some users' legitimation strategies on the Net.
Our starting point is the hypothesis that we live in a post-digital and post-global era, even a post-data one. In this current time, our objects of study have become transmedial and the different media versions of a product cannot be separated one from the other, but rather should be taken as one si...

In this current time, our objects of study have become transmedial and the different media versions of a product cannot be separated one from the other, but rather should be taken as one single object. These transmedial cultural objects are subject to readings, discussions, and appropriation in social networks such as Goodreads, Tumblr, or Reddit, which in turn exist in a "permanent now," ephemeral by its very nature. In this context, we ask ourselves what is the role and the function of the literary. We search for testimonies in social networks for three products of children's literature: My Little Pony, Caillou and Manolito Gafotas, in order to observe what is being said in social networks about. Working with Goodreads, Babelio, Reddit and Tumblr that function as platforms for reviews and fan expression, we will carry out an analysis of our corpus by means of some digital tools. We show how literature still acts as a legitimizing instance and how social networks function as a vector for globalization/localisation in the current post-digital, post-global and transmedial context. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Neohelicon is a copyright of Springer, 2021.
