A Methological Proposal to Study the Non-Academic

This research focuses on popular canon (so-called paraliterature) and the influence of virtual communication on its creation. The aim of the research is two -fold. First, the main previous contributions on non-academic canon are reviewed in order to identify the methodology that they use, the features proposed to characterize it, the process to create the canon and the agents and actions carried out to create it. Second, from these data, the methodological basis to analyze and verify the construction of the non-academic canon in the digital communication ecosystem is described.
