Today, texts circulate within “online communities” of writers and scholars. The relationships and interactions between community members have become an essential means of circulating content, whose visibility is increasingly dependent on the involvement of online writers and researchers. The objective of this research axis is to examine the reorganization of forms of sociability in the digital age, and to link discussion on virtual communities with studies on literary and scholarly communities.
