Abstract
The chapter explores the interlaced digital pathways of the contemporary middlebrow to discuss consumption patterns of the new Nigerian novel. It demonstrates how authors, distributors and audiences create the digital affect, an affective online community of metropolitan and ethnically diverse readers whose interest in self-realization through empathetic but distanced suffering with others functions to adjust the middle-class emotional habitus to the conditions of an increasingly globalized market economy. Combining linguistic and literary-sociological categories of analysis to investigate the online community’s emotion talk, the chapter suggests a methodological procedure for studying the middlebrow in the digital age.
