1. Hi all, and thanks #HCTwitterConf19 for having me and to all who presented before me! I'm Daniella Gáti, a PhD candidate at Brandeis. I work on contemporary American literature and culture. My thread today is entitled “#LitCrit: Literature and Critique in the Age of Twitter.”
2 #HCTwitterConf19 Obs 1: culture is much more textual today than ever before. Hanging out with friends, business interactions and dating lives all take place primarily in text! That is: we read more than ever before. LitCrit hasn't really tried to account for this phenomenon.
3 #HCTwitterConf19 Obs 2: But the form of reading has changed dramatically. Social media posts, clickbaits, dating apps (+TwitterConf!) make reading much more fragmented/SEGmented into little bits/chunks/snippets. LitCrit has no terms for these texts and this new way of reading.
