Rez@Kultur

Analyzing online reviewing of literature and visual arts as a process of cultural education

 

The Rez@Kultur project conducts theory-informed empirical analyses of online reviews of cultural artefacts: books, works of art, and art exhibitions. The topic is at the crossroad of cultural practice and its reception. The project aims at answering the following research questions that have not been extensively addressed yet: which skills and which knowledge do authors and readers of online reviews acquire through reviewing? How do the actual processes of cultural production in the context of online reviewing work in detail? How do people become involved and active in such processes? And what do the answers to these questions imply for the future development of platforms and services for reviewing, and, more generally, for future cultural education processes?
