- Abstract
- In recent times, the knowledge of a limited number of professional literary critics has been challenged by technological developments and the “wisdom of the crowds”. Ample research has been devoted to shifts in traditional gatekeepers, such as hybrid publishers (Vandersmissen 2020) and prizes (English 2009, Sapiro 2016), and to the demise of professional critics’ authority at the hands of online literary criticism (Dorleijn et al. 2009, Löffler 2017, Schneider 2018; Kempke et al. 2019, Chong 2020). Nevertheless, comparatively little research (Allington 2016, Kellermann et al. 2016; Kellermann and Mehling 2017; Bogaert 2017, Pianzola et al. 2020) has actually attempted to directly ingest and mine the content of user-generated online literary criticism, as well to examine and the role of peer-to-peer recommendation systems and layperson critics as new literary gatekeepers and cultural transmitters. This project aims to study the differences between professional critics and this ‘wisdom of the crowd’, especially since traditional gatekeepers of the literary field (publishers, reviewers) are increasingly trying to tap the potential of online reading communities. We will present the preliminary results of the FWO-funded research project “Evaluation of literature by professional and layperson critics… .
