Leitura expandida: a literatura como ponte em ações realizadas em áreas e situações periféricas.

Abstract

This article aims to understand the concept of reading unfolded according to the understanding and practice of eight experiences that foster reader communities in different parts of Brazil: MG, SP, RS, PB and DF. These are all initiatives awarded the Vivaleitura award, granted until 2016 by the federal government. To encourage the reading of literature with audiences unfamiliar with it, the projects are linked to objectives that take into account social aspects and the strengthening of the subjectivity of the people served. The article aims to understand the actions according to a notion of reading as a social practice embodied in different contexts and, therefore, motivations and actions carried out by the managers to achieve the objectives of each project will be presented. Practices observed associated with concepts of literary reading (PAULINO, COSSON) and themes of the right to literature (CÂNDIDO, MONTES) and reading mediation (PETIT)
