Abstract
This paper examines the role of peer-to-peer recommendation systems and layperson critics as new literary gatekeepers and compares their evaluations to those of professional critics. The research project analyzes the evaluative “talk of literature” surrounding prominent literary prizes by both groups, using fine-grained aspect-based sentiment analysis of an annotated corpus consisting of the official jury discussions and social media posts. The paper discusses the annotation system, the results of the annotation process, and future pathways for research aided by the arrival of the language bots. The study sheds light on the evolving role of traditional gatekeepers and the emergence of new gatekeepers in the literary field and beyond, providing insights into the evaluative criteria used by different groups to evaluate cultural production.
