O BookTok fez você ler mais rápido, mas ler menos. (o anti-intelectualismo)

BECOME A MEMBER and BE PART of OUR COMMUNITY:    / @arboreoliterario   📖 Reading is a sign of intelligence, right? At least that's what we've always been told. But what if reading is becoming the exact opposite: an anti-intellectual performance? In this video, I discuss the double attack that deep reading has been suffering. On the outside, there's a growing disdain for those who reflect, develop arguments, and write long texts. On the inside, a reading culture where the aesthetics of being a reader matter more than what the book does to your mind (very aesthetic). Let's talk about BookTok: what it gets right (and it gets very right), what it lacks, the tropes repeated ad nauseam, the bestsellers that romanticize abusive relationships for increasingly younger readers, and why the question "Is BookTok good or bad?" is inherently flawed. Because ultimately, it's NEVER just about books; it's very much within a political context, isn't it? It's about a society losing the ability to read attentively, and everything that crumbles along with it when that happens.
