How has the corporation’s nationalist position had to change in order to continue to represent modern Canadian society? How did the CBC adapt to new ways of communicating through social media? This article will analyze how the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) has responded to contemporary ways of sharing content on social media to disseminate national literatures in various ways, using at least three outlets (CBC’s Canada Reads, and Canada Writes) which bring together a community of practice whose members share content on several stages of the craft of writing and the skills required to publish.

Kozinets), how it has successfully furthered the goal of discussing Canadian identities in this century, and whether and how it has raised awareness around non-mainstream authors. Au XXIe siècle, un mandat comme celui de la Canadian Radio Corporation peut-il rester opérationnel ? Comment la position nationaliste de la société a-t-elle dû changer pour continuer à représenter la société canadienne moderne ? Comment CBC s’est-elle adaptée aux nouvelles méthodes de communication sur les médias sociaux ? Cet article analysera comment la Canadian Radio Corporation (CBC) a répondu aux façons contemporaines de partager du contenu sur les médias sociaux pour diffuser les littératures nationales de diverses manières, en utilisant au moins trois canaux (Canada Books, CBC’s Canada Reads et Canada Writes) qui regroupent une communauté de praticiens dont les membres partagent du contenu sur plusieurs étapes du métier d’écrivain et les compétences requises pour publier. À l’aide de la méthode des petites histoires (GEORGAKOUPOULOU), cet article analysera les activités narratives importantes pour reconnaître le travail identitaire des narrateurs, soit comme lecteurs canadiens, soit comme écrivains canadiens, ainsi que le tissu social des pratiques impliqués, pour découvrir comment la CBC a créé une communauté de pratique virtuelle (telle que théorisée par Robert V. Kozinets), comment elle a réussi à faire avancer l’objectif de discuter des identités canadiennes au cours de ce siècle, et si et comment elle a favorisé la sensibilisation autour des auteurs non traditionnels.
