Leitores eloquentes: os booktubers e as novas práticas de leitura amadora na internet

Abstract

This dissertation approches the amateur reading performed online in the early decades of XXI century, focusing specialy on the booktubing phenomenon (an online community of young readers that continuously produce videos that register the effects of literary reading). Generating reading iconography on Instagram or reading experience videos on Youtube, these agents are taken as eloquent readers, since they develop web places where reading activities are taken as a broad gesture of fun and extroversion. Focusing on 3 brazilian booktubers, the dissertation collects the creative reading practices of the agents, trying to reflect on Youtube literary channels as unprecedent facts for reception and mediation studies, also meaningful examples of productive interaction between reading practices and digital tecnology. As a reflection of it s time, an essay about the digital contemporary situates the booktubers among many other examples of the hyper valuation of personal experiences influencing daily behaviors (specialy in the dinamic of social networks). Supported by Canclini (art sociology), Certeau and Augé (studies of every day life), Chartier and Yunes (reading history and reading practices), eloquent readers are presented, analised and collected in this dissertation as a very relevant event for the understanding of reading processes among young readers on the internet
