#INSTAPOETRY. POPULÄRE LYRIK AUF INSTAGRAM UND IHERE AFFORDANZEN
Abstract
This paper examines a popular phenomenon of contemporary poetry which is circulated via Instagram. The global recognition of Instapoetry is to be reflected against the background of trending small forms. The affordances of social media platforms that gave rise to new practices of producing and presenting poetry, but also for the communication and self-staging of authors get theoretically discussed. In addition to this general approach, the accounts of poets Rupi Kaur and R.M. Drake are explored more specifically.
