Mediação de leitura para adultos e HQs: estudo da comunidade leitora Fora do Plástico

Abstract

This research investigates the dynamics of online reading communities, with an emphasis on those dedicated to comic books, using the Fora do Plástico page on Instagram as a case study. The main objective is to understand how these communities influence the reading choices and literary experiences of their adult followers. As a methodology, content analyses of the page's posts in the year 2023 were conducted, followed by the formulation of a questionnaire sent to the community's followers. The demographic research revealed a predominantly male profile, with a higher educational level than the average Brazilian population. By achieving these objectives, the research aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the reading practices of adult comic book enthusiasts in online communities, providing valuable insights for librarians, researchers, and Information Science professionals interested in promoting reading and interaction between readers and content in virtual environments.
