Intersticios y desvíos

Abstract

En este trabajo nos proponemos analizar la lectura literaria como una trama de prácticas socioculturales, dispositivos y modos de leer configurados históricamente que resuenan en la contemporaneidad. Para ello, presentamos escenas de lectura en el ámbito escolar y su relación con las lecturas en el ámbito privado a partir de las cuales analizamos dispositivos de lectura institucionalizados y modos de leer contrahegemónicos. Asimismo, planteamos la existencia de la variancia de la lectura, de los múltiples modos de leer y de las estrategias de los lectores para ir a contrapelo de lo instituido. Nos interesa analizar en este recorrido que va y viene del pasado al presente, de lo público a lo privado, la práctica de lectura literaria como algo inesperado, impredecible y que pone en evidencia la necesidad del lector de romper con lo establecido para leer desde su propia identidad, desde su propio yo.

This article aims at analyzing literary reading as a network of historically shaped sociocultural practices, and devices to, and ways of, reading, which are currently much resounding. To this purpose, we shall present reading scenes at the school environment, together with their relation to readings in a private sphere, from which we shall analyze institutionalized reading devices and counter-hegemonic ways of reading. Likewise, we shall suggest the existence of a variation in reading, of several ways of reading and of strategies which the readers have come up with in order to go against the establishment. It is of interest to us to analyze, in this run-through from the past to the present, from the public to the private sphere, the practice of literary reading as something unexpected, unpredictable, which sheds light on the reader's need to break with the established norm so as to read from his/her own identity, from his/her own self.
