Abstract

What is the point of reading in the contemporary world? How does one write the history of this practice, reading, that, until the end of the twentieth century, was intertwined with the very material forms that defined it, such as the book, newspaper and magazine? In the age of digital media and virtual readership, what are the vestiges of reading that will be left as its testimony? Far from answering these questions, these notes bring together some concerns and point to some methodological hypotheses.
