Alexandra Saemmer: Reading, writing and performing literary profiles
CDN Digital Narrative Summer School Keynote.
Main content
Social networks are inhabited by profiles. Profiles are not real people: there's always a gap between the profile and life. In my talk, I will not portray major fraudsters or minor cheaters. I will focus on profiles who present themselves as literary narratives or can be read as such. I'll show where, in my opinion, their literarity lies.
Part of the Digital Narrative Summer School, open to the public.
