Abstract

The literaries fairs have an ancient history, however, in Brazil, is as of the first decade of the century XXI that they become more representative from the quantitative point of view. Contemplate the propagation of the literaries fairs this year 2018, this text pretend, in a first moment, to problematize the nature of this event, especially, differentiating it from book fairs. Next, aims to discuss the reader and book representations that are constructed in some posters of events, especially, occurred in cities in Paraíba. From this brief analysis, which follows the indiciary paradigm proposed by Guinzburg (1989), it is possible to conclude that the literary fairs preserve the ideal that the reading of the literary text contributes to the humanization and the sensitization of the man to his social coexistence. This is a recurring image that needs to be desnaturalized or deconstructed, while absolute truths.
