Literary reading in times of globalisation and diversity

Abstract

Authors analyse the place of reading, especially literary reading, in our times and reflect on its necessity for the critical reading of the world, proximity to the other and denunciation of prejudices regarding diversity naturalised as valid. In this respect, they point out the possibilities of literary reading for the committed exercise of citizenship and social commitment. They also explore the relationship between reading habits and the canon of future education professionals as a key strategy in reader training. Finally, they advocate the intersection of literary reading education and social education at different educational stages.
