Abstract [en]
This studie investigates the phenomenon of remedation within the #Booktok community, focusing on the content shared and the prevalent gender dynmics. Through a combination of qualitive and quantitive content analysis, the study aims to uncover the themes and dynamics present in these digital spaces. By examining the visual, textual, and auditory elements of 120 film clips, this study illuminates the reasons behind #Booktok´s emergence as a preffered platform for literary engagement. Furthermore, the research also investigates the portrayal of “The female gaze”, which is a theory based on "The male gaze" by Laura Mulvey. To explore how gender perspectives shape the discourse within this digital space.
The result uncovers that #Booktok serves as a chosen digital arena for diverse reasons, evolving into a alternative form of public discourse. These reasons include shorter, accessible videos that are easier to engage with, as well as a community fostering interacitivity. Morover, the research highlights a notable emphasis on erotic literature within the community. It is predominatly men who criticize these erotic books, often labeling them as pornography. In contrast, women defend these works, arguing that such criticism stems from misogyny. Notably, the analysis underscores the predominant self-presentation of women on the platform, influencing content creation throught the lens of “The female gaze”. This study enhances our comprehension of how remedation, gender dynamics, and content intertwine within the #Booktok community, offering insights into the shifting landcape of digital literay interaction.
