Die Studie zeichnet ein differenziertes Bild von schriftstellerischen Selbstinszenierungen seit den 1990er Jahren. Anhand von zwölf repräsentativen Autor:innen der unterschiedlichen Bereiche des literarischen Feldes wird das internetspezifische Medienhandeln analysiert. Im Vordergrund stehen – neben den literarischen Texten – die Websites der Autor:innen und ihre Aktivitäten in den sozialen Medien. Aus den Analysen resultieren zwei Typologien, die für weitere Forschungen genutzt werden können: die Typologie medialer Habitusformen und die Inszenierungsformen von Publikumsnähe und -distanz.

Her reflection stared back: perfect, sterile. Perfection was her cage. Indifference was war.She picked up her phone. The screen lit her lifeless face. She wasn't looking for a lover. She was looking for a name. Sophia. A photographer.The price of a boudoir session. The price of a life. It wasn't a job. It was one cage sliding into another.Sophia had just sold herself. Valentina had just bought. The work was done. The obsession was only beginning.
