Millions of reviews on platforms such as Amazon or Goodreads are part of this culture of participation and a counterweight to professional criticism. At the same time, successful instapoets such as Rupi Kaur reject the expertise of the gatekeepers of \u201cprestigious literary circles\u201d and try to establish a direct connection with readers. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Literary studies adopt a variety of positions regarding these new phenomena. Most literary scholars still ignore or even demonize them. In fact, online reviewing not only presents new forms of reviewing, it challenges the prestige of conventional criticism and the traditional distinctions between professional and non-professional criticism (<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Laienkritik<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\"> in German).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The aim of this project is to build the proper methodological framework to capture these changes in the current literary system. To do this, the phenomenon of online reviewing has to be contextualized within the history and the praxis of assigning literary value to literary texts, the so-called canonization. In addition, literary theory needs to be able to analyze quantitative data and to integrate numbers into its models (engaging in a procedure that is called operationalization).\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At the basis of the project will be a corpus of book reviews published in literary magazines and online reviewing platforms. The analysis will proceed through a combination and integration of methods: (a) the theoretical and stylistic research of literary criticism; (b) socio-psychological analysis of the dynamics that inform reviewing practices; and (c) computational modeling of the linguistic aspects that distinguish them.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-ccp-border-between=\"0px none #000000\" data-ccp-padding-between=\"0px\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Our project will require the integration of three main perspectives (the literary, the social, and the computational).\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240,&quot;335572071&quot;:0,&quot;335572072&quot;:0,&quot;335572073&quot;:0,&quot;335572075&quot;:0,&quot;335572076&quot;:0,&quot;335572077&quot;:0,&quot;335572079&quot;:0,&quot;335572080&quot;:0,&quot;335572081&quot;:0,&quot;335572083&quot;:0,&quot;335572084&quot;:0,&quot;335572085&quot;:0,&quot;335572087&quot;:0,&quot;335572088&quot;:0,&quot;335572089&quot;:0,&quot;469789798&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789802&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789806&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789810&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789814&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Group leaders: <\/b>Marco Rospocher, Simone Rebora and Massimo Salgaro<\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\"> <strong>Internal members:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ainur Kakimova (PhD student)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Gabriele Vezzani (PhD student)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>External members:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Francesca Frontini (CNR Pisa)<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Actions: <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">WP 1.1; WP 1.3<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">References:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Franzen, Johannes. 2021. \u2018Everyone\u2019s a critic\u202f: Rezensieren in Zeiten des \u00e4sthetischen Plebiszit\u2019.
