From Literature 2.0 to Twitterature or Xerature: The Birth and Canonicity of Nigerian Xerature
Y. J. Waliya, A. A. Ajimase, et al.
Nigerian literature’s turn to datafication and botification finds a new voice in the ‘Twitterverse’ — the rise of Nigerian Twitterature or ‘Xerature’. Tracing origins from Teju Cole’s Twittories to Hafsat Dauda’s Las, Las Nigeria is Home (2020), this study raises awareness, defines the genre, and proposes canonisation and methods. Research conducted by Yohanna Joseph Waliya, Angela Awhobiwom Ajimase, and Franklin Ubi David.
