Resumo: This article follows a computational cultural criticism to analyse the reading practices on Twitter during theCOVID-19 pandemic. It analyses tweets that reference Jorge Luis Borges and Clarice Lispector, which were extracted and analysed using textual mining tools. The article demonstrates that both authors were mobilized in two different senses: in a therapeutic sense, as a way to deal with loneliness and suffering, and also to process collective and social transformations, expressing support or criticism of governmental politics dealing with COVID-19. In those ways, the article shows that reading practices on Twitter reveal the multiples ways inwhich people experienced the pandemic, and shaped collective and subjective experience.

Se analizan tweets con referencia a dos autores, Clarice Lispector e Jorge Luis Borges, los cuales fueron extraídos y analizados utilizando softwares de mineración textual. El artículo demuestra que los autores fueron movilizados en dos sentidos diferentes: en un sentido terapéutico, modo de lidiar con la soledad y el sufrimiento, y también para procesar las transformaciones sociales y colectivas, expresando apoyo u oposición a las políticas de los gobiernos ante el COVID-19. El trabajoconcluye que las prácticas de estos autores pusieron en escena los modos múltiples de vivir la pandemia de COVID-19 y dieron forma a la experiencia subjetiva y colectiva.O presente artigo parte de uma crítica cultural computacional para analisar as práticas de leitura ao longo da pandemia pela COVID-19 por meio do uso do Twitter.
