Distant Reading – the Posthumanist Ideological Kitsch

Summary/Abstract: In this paper I make the connection between three concepts with a very obvious ideological core – kitsch, posthumanism and what defines Franco Moretti through distant reading. All these theoretical representations are reflected differently in cultural realities. The aim is to identify in literary criticism called distant reading a symptomatic form of the radicalization of posthumanist ideology, by assuming a discourse and thinking specific to kitsch. Distant reading is thus about to transform from a theory of academic communities, into a form of popular culture, in the sense given to the concept of American multiculturalism. Therefore, the analysis focuses mainly on the concept of distant reading, launched by Franco Moretti. Kitsch and posthumanism are instrumentalized and evoked extremely summarily, from a critical perspective necessary for an effort to problematize the consanguine connection between distant reading and posthumanist kitsch
