“Mills & Boon” has become shorthand for “trashy” entertainment, yet little is known about how the books are treated materially in their circulation. This article reports on a project that followed the material lives and afterlives of 50 Australian-authored novels published by Harlequin Mills & Boon between 1996 and 2016. We analyze visual and textual data about these books collected via social media to explore uses and values attached to category romance. First, we show that the books' ongoing circulation is due both to their publishers' practices, and to the behaviours of genre insiders. Second, we note that most participants demonstrated “genre competence” and genre-based sociality, confirming the highly networked nature of the romance “genre world.” Third, we find that category romance is routinely shelved apart from other books, explicitly marking them as distinctive. Finally, we argue that “shelfies” of romance collections undercut notions of trash by reframing them as treasure.

The Quebec internet is based on a rich and varied history, a fact that is even more surprising considering that it has garnered little sociological reflection so far. What is the “Web québécois”? What are the distinctive features of this microcosm? By adopting a perspective of communication inspired by political sociology, the article posits that the internet is first of all understood through its modes of regulation, that is to say, the capacity of the various actors to structure the flow of information. The Quebec internet appears as an ephemeral crystallization of unstable equilibriums that merits being subjected to various reality tests. Three examples serve to show how the Quebec internet exists only as a serie of oppositions that are at once deep, unstable and dynamic.
