- Abstract
In this article we ask about the ways of reading literature in the digital age, mainly among young people. For this, we analyze the case of Wattpad, the most active online network of readers and writers on the Internet, with a high incidence in Argentina and one of the main phenomena of youth cyberculture. Through a methodology that combines quantitative and qualitative strategies, we conducted a survey and in-depth interviews with students from two secondary schools in Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires who are users of the application. We take the concepts of "cyberculture", "industrial culture" and "literate culture" (Mendoza, 2011) to demonstrate that these three forces feed back into the platform in a convergence where virtual reading practices are linked to the publishing industry combining innovative experiences with others that carry the brands of the past.
