En los últimos años, redes sociales como Twitter, Instagram y Youtube se han convertido en populares plataformas de publicación y de difusión de contenidos literarios para jóvenes autores. Tanto es así que no son pocas las editoriales que han visto la oportunidad de convertir en cifras de ventas las cifras de seguidores, revitalizando incluso géneros minoritarios como la poesía. Sin embargo, ¿estamos verdaderamente ante una “revitalización” del género poético clásico o de una construcción de nuevas poéticas productivas en red? Para ilustrar la polémica mercantil y literaria se ha seleccionado un corpus femenino de autoras, puesto que no pueden pasar desapercibidas las oportunidades de visibilización y ruptura de tópicos que ofrece el nuevo canal a la voz poética de la mujer. Over the last few years, social networks such as Twitter, Instagram and Youtube have become popular platforms for the publication and diffusion of literary content among young authors to such an extent that many publishing houses have appreciated the opportunity to convert the number of followers into sales. This is revitalizing minority genres such as poetry. One needs to question, though, whether we are seeing a revival of traditional classical poetry or the birth of a new “internet” genre. To illustrate this literary controversy and the resulting business issues, a corpus of female authors has been selected to demonstrate that these new opportunities for exposure, the breaking of stereotypes should not go unnoticed.
