With the democratization of publishing tools made possible by Web 2.0 at the turn of the 2000s—at a time when social media did not yet exist—blogging became widespread, encompassing every topic and style. In Quebec, as in other cultural spheres, a constellation of literary blogs emerged—a cultural phenomenon that remains, even today, under-studied given its significance for generations of young authors. The contributions gathered here therefore aim to revisit and update the main literary questions—simultaneously formal, sociological, and communicational—raised by blogs since the mid-2000s, focusing on the Quebec corpus. This portrait explores issues related to authorial figures, the poetics of writing, and the relationship with the techno-editorial constraints of the blog, as well as with the communities thus formed, on the margins of literary institutions.
