Ce que les réseaux font à la littérature

Abstract

Microblogging—a brief, flowing, asynchronous writing of oneself—has not been a long time making Facebook or Twitter places for a literary writing. Diverting their device, it leads to forms submitted to experimental constraints. Better still, the fragmented writing, with its universe of affective flow awaiting to be echoed, goes together with the numerical conversion of human experience: far from being the empire of triteness and ephemeralness, microblogging induces literature to quit the fields thought for literary expression and intrudes itself on the inside of social relationships.
