This paper investigates how Wattpad has become a transformative influence on the young adult fiction market, which has been reported to disrupt traditional models of publishing by democratising the creation and distribution of content. Wattpad empowers young writers and readers by providing a space in which anyone can publish their or engage in an already published story, thereby challenging the conventional roles that publishers, writers, and readers take or occupy. The premise of this study is on the degree to which Wattpad itself may subvert established power relationships within the YA fiction industry through the underlying provision of direct contact between authors and audiences. Wattpad also allows meritocracy through a participatory culture in which the success of the play of literature depends on the interaction that an author gets from an audience and not through conventional ways of mediated recommendation. It further explores the psychological and social impacts of such online literary contexts in the empowerment of self-efficacy and belongingness for their users. This paper uses theoretical research with support from Participatory Culture Theory, Field Theory, and Network Society Theory to discuss how Wattpad is now reframing the paradigm of what is up ahead within YA fiction, setting up new models for content creation that will heavily influence the new landscape of digital storytelling. Ultimately, the study will teach an understanding of the dynamic relationship between technology, literature, and the publishing industry.

This article examines how Goodreads users define their reading experience, and discusses Fernanda Melchor’s literary work by analyzing more than 2,000 reviews of her books through text mining and close reading. New ways of analyzing online reviews are explored, using digital methods that allow to understand the different ways in which readers express themselves in social media. After identifying the most common themes in the reviews using manual and automatic topic modeling, a close reading of the reviews has been done for a better understanding of reading practices and the context in which they are written through concrete examples. As a result, it was possible to identify the particularities of readers in a Latin American literary corpus and their roles as literary critics and cultural analysts from a personal and intimate perspective, En este artículo se examina cómo los usuarios de Goodreads definen su experiencia de lectura y discuten la obra de Fernanda Melchor al analizar más de 2,000 reseñas de sus libros mediante minería de textos y lectura cercana. Se exploran nuevas formas de analizar reseñas en línea, mediante el uso de métodos digitales, que permitan conocer las distintas formas en las que los lectores se expresan en redes sociales. Para ello, se logró identificar los temas más comunes en las reseñas usando modelación por tópicos manual y automática, y posteriormente se hizo una revisión cercana de las reseñas para tener una mejor comprensión de las prácticas de lectura y del contexto en el que se escriben mediante ejemplos concretos. Con esto, se pudo identificar las particularidades de los lectores en un corpus latinoamericano y sus funciones como críticos literarios y analistas culturales desde una perspectiva personal e íntima.

In this work, carried out at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Center for Management of Enterprise Media, Entertainment,and Sports (Memes), we suggest that there is hope and reason for media companies to expect a recovery from the current crisis. As journalists and researchers in communication, we are concerned about newspapers’ sustainability, and we refuse to consider a future scenario without the press. According to this objective we focus on the entertainment industry with the goal of learning from it how to survive and even grow despite freely available content on the Web. We consider the unstoppable growth in users and revenue experienced by Netflix, Amazon and iTunes, and pull from it lessons learned that might help newspapers to navigate the digital landscape. Our hypothesis is that digital newspapers can find new readers in the segment of digital consumers who already “pay” for digital content including streaming movies and television shows. Sales, subscriptions, and online rentals experienced significant growth in 2013, bringing them closer to the sales figures of hardware such as DVDs and blu-ray discs. And, although piracy is an issue in the entertainment industry, there remains room for revenue growth., En este trabajo realizado en el Center for Management of Enterprise Media, Entertainment, and Sports (Memes), University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), sugerimos que hay esperanza y razones para que las empresas periodísticas se recuperen de la crisis actual. Como periodistas e investigadores en Comunicación, nos preocupa la sostenibilidad de los periódicos, y no queremos ni pensar en un futuro escenario sin prensa. De acuerdo con este objetivo nos hemos centrado en la industria del entretenimiento con la idea de aprender de ella cómo sobrevivir o incluso crecer a pesar de que muchos contenidos estén disponibles gratuitamente en la Web. Considerando el imparable crecimiento experimentado por Netflix, Amazon o iTunes, tanto en número usuarios como de ingresos durante este mismo período de tiempo, si los periódicos pueden imaginar el modo de navegar en el indiscutido panorama digital, hay razones para ser optimistas. La hipótesis es que es posible encontrar nuevos lectores en el segmento de consumidores digitales que “pagan” por contenidos digitales, como es patente en el estudio realizado en el mercado de Estados Unidos, que presentamos aquí, en concreto ventas y streaming online de cine. Las ventas, suscripciones y alquileres online de pago han subido notablemente en 2013, tanto que se está acercando a las cifras de venta de soportes físicos: DVDs y discos blu-ray. Por otro lado, sostenemos en paralelo que la piratería no ha terminado con la industria cinematográfica, pese a que persiste un elevado número de descargas ilegales, y esto es así porque hay margen para crecer en el segmento móvil digital, Sección Deptal. de Derecho Constitucional (Ciencias de la Información), Fac. de Ciencias de la Información, TRUE, pub

Literary works are certainly inseparable from reader responses where a comment/response can show the quality of a work. The activity of commenting in the realm of literary studies is referred to as a literary reception. This study describes readers responses based on readers criteria for novel Rembulan Tenggelam di Wajahmu by Tere Liye , and the aesthetic assessment of the reception to the novel based on Hans Robert Jauz's theory. The research method used is qualitative method, where data is collected using questionnaires distributed through Google Form. The collected data is then analyzed with comparative descriptive techniques. Based on his responses, the criteria were highly assessed, namely the selection of characters in the novel, the idea or theme of the story, new perspectives, emotional involvement, narrative techniques, sadness, and universality. The criteria assessed are moderate, namely attraction, plot,, tempo, understandable, intrinsic elements, imagery, plausible, ironic, conflict, and characters. Finally, the criteria that are considered the lowest, are further interest and language style.

Our research tries to make a historical journey through the multitude of headers aimed at the male audience that have been appearing and disappearing, with more or less success, in contemporary Spain. A journey that will deal with the magazines destined for men and the different models of masculinity proposed in each stage. This journalistic analysis has identified five fundamental periods that mark the history of this type of publication. Thus, our proposal will go from the shy beginnings of the mid-80s, passing through the eroticization of the headlines, the liberalization for LGTBI+ content, the metrosexualization of these publications and, finally, the phagocytization of the male press by general information newspapers., Nuestra investigación trata de hacer un recorrido histórico por la multitud de cabeceras destinadas al público masculino que han ido apareciendo y desapareciendo, con mayor o menor éxito, en la España contemporánea. Un trayecto que versará sobre las revistas destinadas al hombre y sobre los diferentes modelos de masculinidad propuestos en cada etapa. Este análisis hemerográfico ha constatado cinco periodos fundamentales que marcan la historia de esta clase de publicaciones. Así, nuestra propuesta irá desde los tímidos inicios de mediados de los 80, pasando por la erotización de las cabeceras, la liberalización para contenido LGTBI+, la metrosexualización de estas publicaciones y, por último, la fagocitación de la prensa masculina por los diarios de información general.

Despite the expectations that radical books have generated, contributions ad­dressing their purposes, the skills they promote in readers, and the interactions they facilitate between reading mediators (adults) and child and youth readers have not been systematized. To fill this gap, this article presents a systematic bibliographic review of 36 empirical articles that gather evidence on the work carried out with picture books grouped under the label of “radical” in educational contexts. “Radical books” are picture books that have some narrative sophistication (postmodern books), present themes that are unconventional in children's literature (disturbing) and are crossover or for all ages. The categorical inductive analysis reveals three important aspects: (a) that radical books are valued for their gap opening between picture and text, thus promoting the construction of diverse meaning in readers; (B) that research in this area focuses on the promotion of socio-emotional and critical literacy skills, and (c) that their use can open more symmetrical relationships between mediators and readers., Malgré les attentes suscitées par les livres radicaux, des articles analysant leurs finalités, les compétences qu’ils promeuvent chez les lecteurs, et les interactions qu’ils ouvrent entre médiateurs de la lecture (adultes) et lecteurs enfants et jeunes n’ont pas été systématisés. Cet article est une revue bibliographique systématique de 36 articles empiriques qui rassemblent des témoignages sur le travail en contexte éducatif avec des livres album regroupés sous la catégorie de « radicaux ». Je propose la dénomination de « livres radicaux » pour ces livres-albums qui contiennent une sophistication narrative (livres postmodernes), des thèmes non conventionnels pour la littérature de jeunesse (dérangeants) et une production éditoriale crossover, ou pour tous les âges. Nous avons conclu que les livres radicaux sont prisés pour produire des écarts entre l’image et le texte, ce qui favorise la construction d’un sens diversifié chez les lecteurs ; que la recherche dans ce domaine se concentre sur la promotion des compétences en littératie socio-émotionnelle et critique, et que leur utilisation peut encourager des relations plus symétriques entre les médiateurs et les lecteurs., Apesar das expectativas geradas pelos livros radicais, as contribuições que analisam seus propósitos, as habilidades que promovem nos leitores e as interações que abrem entre mediadores da leitura (adultos) e leitores infantis e juvenis não tem sido ainda sistematizados. Este artigo é uma revisão bibliográfica sistemática de 36 artigos empíricos que reúnem evidências sobre o trabalho em contextos educacionais com livros-álbum agrupados sob o nome de “radicais”. Proponho a denominação de “livros radicais” para aqueles livros-álbum que contêm uma sofisticação narrativa (livros pós-modernos), temas não convencionais para a literatura infantil (perturbadores) e uma produção editorial cruzada ou para todas as idades. Conclui-se que os livros radicais são apreciados por produzirem lacunas entre imagem e texto, o que promove a construção de um significado diverso nos leitores; que a investigação nesta área se concentre na promoção de competências de literacia socioemocional e crítica, e que a sua utilização possa abrir relações mais simétricas entre mediadores e leitores., A pesar de las expectativas que han generado los libros radicales, no se ha sistematizado el aporte de estos respecto a sus propósitos, las competencias que promueven en los lectores y las interacciones que abren entre mediadores de la lectura (adultos) y lectores infantiles y juveniles. Este artículo pretende llenar este vacío presentando una revisión bibliográfica sistemática de 36 artículos empíricos que reúnen evidencia sobre el trabajo que se está llevando a cabo con libros álbum agrupados bajo la denominación de “radicales” en contextos educativos. Se entiende por “libros radicales” aquellos libros álbum que contiene una sofisticación narrativa (libros postmodernos), temáticas poco convencionales para la literatura infantil (inquietantes) y una producción editorial crossover o para todas las edades. El análisis categorial inductivo revela tres aspectos importantes: a) que los libros radicales son apreciados por producir brechas entre imagen y texto, lo que promueve la construcción de significado diverso en los lectores; b) que la investigación en esta área se enfoca en la promoción de competencias socioemocionales y de literacidad crítica, y c) que el uso de estos libros puede abrir relaciones más simétricas entre mediadores y lectores.

The poetics of printed media, as well as their materiality and graphic structure, allows for analysis of the so-called reading traces. Such is the case of the newspaper Tierra: organ of the Colombian Communist Party, which was born in 1932. The following work aims to expose the formulation of a militant reader, who combines the practices of reading and writing with political action arising from his direct participation in the newspaper. The detailed review of letters, directed texts and publications on literature and books shows that the representation of an ideal reader corresponds to an active agent in political militancy., La poética de los soportes impresos, su materialidad y estructura gráfica posibilitan el análisis de los llamados rastros lectores. Este es el caso del periódico Tierra: órgano del Partido Comunista Colombiano que nace en 1932. El presente trabajo se propone exponer la formulación de un lector militante que combina las prácticas de lectura y escritura con la acción política desde su participación directa en el impreso. La revisión de cartas, escritos dirigidos y publicaciones sobre literatura y libros hace evidente que la representación de un lector ideal, corresponde con la de un agente activo en la militancia política.

The educational system in nineteenth-century Sweden was, as in many other industrialising states, segregated by social class. Children of the economically and politically marginalised classes were educated in basic primary subjects in the nationwide Folkskola (primary schools). From 1868 to the early 1940s, the government issued, subsidised, and distributed the Läsebok för folkskolan (Reader for Primary School; “the Reader”). Besides poems and songs, the Reader contained religious, fictitious, moral, and historical texts – all wrapped in an explicit nationalist discourse. However, it also contained images and ideologies about social class which have remained unexplored. The representations and social vernaculars in the Reader about how children of the working poor should identify and conduct themselves in order to grow up as functional members of a bourgeois society have been more or less overlooked. This paper deals with the images of the poor and marginalised in the Reader. We suggest not only that the Swedish state reproduced a class-based society through a segmented school system, but that the social descriptions in the book were aimed to produce diligent and docile workers to serve the political and economic interests of the dominant classes., Den klasskapande skolan: Det statliga skolväsendet och formandet av klassidentiteter i skoltexter från 1860 till 1930, Borgerlig feminism eller klassolidaritet? Arbetarklasskvinnors agerande och strategier i den borgerliga kvinnorörelsen kring sekelskiftet 1900

Since the beginning of the 21st century, a bibliography on the printed image in 19th century Buenos Aires has been consolidated. However, Correo del Domingo (1864-1868) has not yet been the object of a long-term research, even though the publication founded by José María Cantilo, along with El Mosquito (1863-1893), made the 1860s a turning point in the history of the local illustrated press. In this article we will concentrate on the analysis of the editorial configuration of the weekly publication. We identify as its greatest formal innovation the fact that it brought together different resources, which could be found years before in the newspaper's feuilleton or in literary publications, converging in a periodical that made a qualitative leap in the experience of reading the press and opened a path that would culminate in the turn-of-the-century magazine. Specifically, we will analyze how discursive genres associated until then to the newspaper's rezde-chausée (in particular, the serialized novel) were incorporated into the weekly format, as well as an unprecedented display of lithographic images, throughout a generous publication that multiplied the usual four pages of the contemporary press to attract an expanded and diversified readership., Desde inícios do século XXI, consolidou-se uma bibliografia sobre a imagem impressa no Buenos Aires daquela época. Porém, Correo del Domingo (1864-1868) não tem sido ainda objeto de investigação, quando a publicação fundada por José María Cantilo, junto com El Mosquito (1863-1893), fizeram do ano 1860 um ponto de inflexão na história da imprensa ilustrada portenha. Neste artigo nos concentraremos na análise da proposta editorial do semanário. Identificamos como sua maior inovação formal a de ter reunido recursos dispares que podiam encontrar-se anos atrás no folhetim do jornal ou em textos literários os quais confluíram em uma publicação que deu um salto qualitativo na experiência de leitura de imprensa e abriu um caminho que finalizaria no Magazine dentre séculos. Concretamente, analisamos a forma em que se incorporaram ao formato semanal gêneros discursivos associados ao rodapé do jornal (particularmente, a novela por envio ou entrega), assim como a implantação sem precedentes de imagens litográficas, ao longo de uma generosa publicação que multiplicava as quatro páginas da imprensa contemporânea para atrair um leitor expandido e diversificado., Desde inicios del siglo XXI se consolidó una bibliografía sobre la imagen impresa en el Buenos Aires decimonónico. Sin embargo, Correo del Domingo (1864-1868) no ha sido aún objeto de una investigación de largo aliento, cuando la publicación fundada por José María Cantilo, junto con El Mosquito (1863-1893), hicieron de los años 1860 un punto de inflexión en la historia de la prensa ilustrada porteña. En este artículo nos concentramos en el análisis de la propuesta editorial del semanario. Identificamos como su mayor innovación formal la de haber reunido recursos dispares que podían encontrarse años antes en el folletín del diario o en periódicos literarios, que confluyeron en una publicación que dio un salto cualitativo en la experiencia de lectura de prensa y abrió un camino que culminaría en el magazine de entresiglos. Concretamente, analizamos la manera en que se incorporaron al formato semanal géneros discursivos asociados hasta entonces al rodapié del diario (en particular, la novela por entregas), así como un despliegue sin precedentes de imágenes litográficas, a lo largo de una generosa publicación que multiplicaba las acostumbradas cuatro páginas de la prensa contemporánea para atraer un lectorado expandido y diversificado.

Purpose The study aims to analyse library user preferences in the willingness to read and pay for e-books, using a sample of both active readers (users of public library services) and non-users (the general population). Design/methodology/approach Two empirical surveys were conducted from August to November of 2019; the research sample consisted of 1,334 users from the Municipal Library of Prague and 1,101 non-users from the general Czech population. The research was focussed on e-book user preferences. The willingness to pay (WTP) for e-book services and the determinants that affect this willingness were also examined. Findings The results show the specific approach of Czech readers, whose main determinant of WTP is not the content, but the price and method of its payment (allocation). Some people prefer a cheaper annual lump sum, whereas others may prefer a charge of small regular fees. The decision to pay depends on their reading or payment habits. Originality/value This study also aims to clarify the demand for various types of digital media in Czech libraries and the preferred distribution models. Furthermore, the study determines the dependence of the preferences of library users in their WTP for e-books using different evaluation models. The originality of this study is in the evaluation of the determinants of WTP for e-books, which makes this study unique, and the findings should contribute to the expansion of existing knowledge in the field of information science., Cílem studie je analyzovat preference uživatelů knihoven v ochotě číst a platit za e-knihy na vzorku aktivních čtenářů (uživatelů služeb veřejné knihovny) i neuživatelů (obecná populace). Design/metodika/přístup Od srpna do listopadu 2019 byly provedeny dva empirické průzkumy; výzkumný vzorek tvořilo 1 334 uživatelů z Městské knihovny v Praze a 1 101 neuživatelů z běžné české populace. Výzkum byl zaměřen na preference uživatelů e-knih.

Bourdieu once spoke of ‘autonomy’ as a cornerstone to the making of a field, an element that demands the creation of contextually tied social values and hierarchies. Within the literary field, these hierarchical structures have been embedded for a long time, ranking cultural producers and other industry-leading agents above the social and the common; the ordinary reader. But what happens when boundaries between the ‘professional’ and the ‘amateur’ become increasingly complex and blurred? In contemporary societies, it is possible to observe how ordinary readers become literary critics in various online settings. On Facebook, amateur reviewers can be spotted in different book groups; groups that the book industry use as marketing arenas and increasingly treat as a recognized agent in the field of cultural production. This indicates that the constant transformation of media and the emergence of new has an impact on the literary field. By investigating the social dynamic within the Swedish group ‘Bibliophiles’ on Facebook, this case study aims to make sense of a ‘social media logic’ in consumer reviews on Facebook, and in extension, understand to what extent digital communities have the capability of destabilising pre-existing frames of social and cultural hierarchies. This is done through qualitative text analysis on posts within the group that discuss the Nobel prize laureate Abdulrazak Gurnah. In this way, the thesis sheds light on how ordinary people relate to ‘fine culture’ and their view on their position in the contemporary literary field. The findings indicate that there is a collective force in amateur reviews, where a mirroring and reverberating social dynamic create a contextually tied social media logic. The reverberating behaviour is not only emotionally important for the sense of community, but it is also necessary and needed in order to challenge established and pre-existing values. The findings also demonstrate that the collective force has the capacity

This article reviews the sacramental plays written by Calderón de la Barca paying attention to the inclusion of books and readers in its argument, in what could be referred to as “reading scenes”. From the thorough study of the corpus of texts, it is possible to affirm that the insertion of read texts and physical volumes is not accidental, but that it responds to specific intentions thought by the author: to understand the sacramental plays as an extension of the mass, to stand ouy the Catholic faith in opposition to the reforms, to exalt the Eucharist and to show the repentance and need for redemption of mankind., Este artículo revisa los autos sacramentales escritos por Calderón de la Barca prestando atención a la inclusión de libros y lectores en su argumento, en lo que podría denominarse como “escenas de lectura”. A partir del estudio minucioso del corpus de textos, es posible afirmar que la inserción de textos leídos y volúmenes físicos no es casual, sino que responde a unas intenciones concretas por parte del autor: entender los autos como extensión de la misa, destacar el dogma católico frente a las reformas, exaltar la Eucaristía y mostrar el arrepentimiento y necesidad de redención del hombre.

This paper presents the results of a pilot study including a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with riders about their reading of horse stories. The data has been collected at an equestrian center in Sweden. The informants are active at the riding center and thus of various ages, although approximately 75 percent are 20 years old or more. They have been asked questions on their reading habits when it comes to horse stories, at present or at earlier stages in their lives. Interviews are ongoing but results are expected to come in the next couple of months. The purpose of the interviews is foremost to enter more deeply into the informants’ reading of horse stories. Tentative results show that 80 percent of the informants read horse stories in the age between 8 to 12 years. 75 percent of the adults report that they used to read horse stories either every day or between one and three times per week in that particular age. 60 percent state that horse stories were important for them since they got the opportunity to dream away, identify themselves with the characters and relate to their own experiences from the equestrian settings, to learn new things about horses and riding and, finally, as a reaction to the fact that they could not spend as much time in the stable as they would have preferred. In addition, a majority of the informants suggest that horse stories could be used at equestrian centers, for both educational and relaxational reasons.

This new issue of Etcétera finds us between pandemic care measures that remain and processes of reopening spaces, events, institutions. Since last year our editorial work has been carried out virtually, but we are already looking forward to the possibility of meeting, sharing impressions and tasks in the offline dimension. We have continued to meet with you at each new edition of the journal., Este nuevo número de Etcétera nos encuentra entre medidas de cuidado pandémico que permanecen y procesos de reapertura de espacios, eventos, instituciones. Desde el año pasado nuestro trabajo editorial ha sido realizado de manera virtual, pero ya anticipamos esperanzades la posibilidad de encontrarnos, compartir impresiones y tareas en la dimensión offline. Con ustedes hemos seguido en reunión con y en cada nueva edición de la revista.

In contrast to medical interpreting, there is much less information on translators’ beliefs about how to translate written medical content and how these beliefs differ from the translation preferences and expectations of health professionals. Investigating translators’ beliefs is nevertheless important if we want a more nuanced understanding of how translators’ choices are influenced by how they believe they should translate and what they believe health professionals expect from them. Adopting a sociological and philosophical approach to the study of expectations, this paper reports on the findings from a survey investigating novice translators’ beliefs about medical and biomedical translation from English to European Portuguese. The data suggests that translators’ beliefs about how they think they should translate do not coincide with their expectations about how readers believe they should translate. The research results represent a further step towards a fuller picture of the role of expectations about medical translation, as well as having implications for translators' training.

Since the beginning of this century, trends in both the reading of newspapers of daily circulation, and the television rating, have changed significantly. The combined action of the growth of the population segments with average level of consumption, on the one hand, and the access to fixed or portable Internet services, on the other, have modified the structure of participation in the journalist sector.However, it is not entirely acceptable conceptually and methodologically to argue causality between the variables that are generally linked in the studies of readership, since their levels of approximation to empirical objects differ significantly, a problem that, on the other hand, should imply the genres practiced by a newspaper such as the uses in the description of the real by the readers, Desde inicios del presente siglo, las tendencias tanto en la lectoría de los medios de soporte impreso de circulación diaria, como en la sintonía de medios de televisión abierta, han variado de modo significativo. La acción combinada del crecimiento de los segmentos poblacionales con nivel medio de consumo, por un lado, y el acceso sostenido a servicios domiciliarios o portables a Internet, por otro, han modificado la estructura de participación en el sector de la comunicación periodística. En concordancia con lo anterior, el propósito del presente artículo consiste en evaluar la metodología tradicional de los estudios de lectoría, dimensionar el tamaño del público lector de medios diarios de soporte impreso en Guayaquil y analizar sus características. Se sostiene, como conclusión que no resulta del todo admisible, conceptual y metodológicamente, argumentar causalidad entre las variables que generalmente se vinculan en estudios de esta clase, pues sus niveles de aproximación a los objetos empíricos difieren de modo significativo, problema que, por otro lado, debería incluir la indagación tanto de los géneros practicados por un medio de prensa como los usos en la descripción de lo real por los lectores.

[Abstract] Oscar Wilde’s sole novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, was first published in 1890 in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine and deemed by many of his peers as an immoral work; despite the censorship imposed by the magazine’s editor without consulting Wilde on the matter. Wilde however defended his work and stance thoroughly against his critics. This is particularly evident in the very preface of the book; but what is it that could have possibly been so impactful for the readers? What is it that Wilde is trying to defend so unrelentingly? It is the aim of this work to comprehend the relation in between text and audience, which seemed to spark so much debate; by analysing its contents, characters and its own gothic elements, and the effect they can possibly cause in its audience. This will be studied with the aid of “Reader Response Theory” and it shall help determine whether Wilde may have met his objective or if, as many believed, failed miserably by getting to carried away with his aesthetic ideal. The analysis will be based on the approach of authors such as Wolfgang Iser and, to a lesser extent, Stanley Fish. By following their, and Wilde’s, recommendations it can truly be proven how the text is specifically constructed in a way that, without argument, does indeed amuse and inspire both horror and beauty to the audience. But most importantly by using a purposeful ambiguity in significant instances, the text does force the reader to create a judgement of their own. Therefore, showing a great capacity to design a very personal narrative experience and to reveal more about the individual than they may have immediately thought of; and yet, the text is capable at the same time of showing the author’s true intentions with well-placed hints for the more receptive readers.

En el presente estudio se aborda una primera aproximación al estudio de los y las lectores de publicaciones científicas y técnicas entre 1952 y 1966. A través de las cartas enviadas desde el extranjero, durante estos años, al Servicio Nacional de Información Bibliográfica se esbozan los perfiles e intereses y las motivaciones de los lectores extranjeros de obras científicas y técnicas, así como las pautas de respuesta del Servicio. Ese sistema experto distribuyó títulos y recomendaciones diversas siguiendo pautas implícitas que se reproducen en función de las posiciones y las trayectorias de los individuos., This article intends to approach the study of the readership of scientific and technical literature. Drawing on the correspondence sent from abroad to the National Bibliographical Service, I intend to identify the profiles and motivations of those foreign readers of scientific and technical literature, as well as the Service answers patterns. The expert system sent different references and bibliographical recommendations following implicit response patterns based on the readers’ background.

British residents on the Costa del Sol have a long history in the city and a large demographic expansion at present. That is the reason why a wide range of English-language media has been generated. This research aims, firstly, to detect the press published in English and aimed at the community of British residents, and, secondly, to analyze its consumption and functionality. The creation of a census of publications and its study through a content analysis, and the application of a questionnaire and a discussion group to readers, have allowed us to obtain results that show a high number of press in English and a high use by the expatriate population. The data also reveal that the more informative press facilitates the process of adaptation and social integration in the new host country., Los residentes británicos en la Costa del Sol cuentan con una amplia trayectoria histórica en la ciudad y una gran expansión demográfica en la actualidad, fruto de la cual se ha generado una amplia oferta mediática en inglés. Esta investigación pretende, en primer lugar, detectar la prensa editada en inglés y dirigida a la comunidad de residentes británicos y, en segundo lugar, analizar su consumo y su funcionalidad. La creación de un censo de publicaciones y su estudio a través de un análisis de contenido, y la aplicación de un cuestionario y un grupo de discusión a los lectores, han permitido obtener resultados que evidencian un elevado número de prensa en inglés y un alto consumo por parte de la población de expatriados. Los datos revelan también que la prensa de carácter más informativo facilita el proceso de adaptación e integración social en el nuevo país de acogida.

Este artículo pretende dar cuenta de las posibilidades analíticas del estudio de los libros de medicina que circularon en Chile durante el siglo XVIII. A partir del estudio de inventarios de bibliotecas privadas, inventarios comerciales y documentación de aduanas, se exploran los vínculos entre la disponibilidad de títulos y los gustos de los propietarios/lectores. Con este objetivo, se identifican las principales características de los libros de medicina que circularon en Chile, para luego examinar los perfiles de sus propietarios, los posibles usos de estos libros y su vinculación con las dinámicas del flujo comercial. El artículo da cuenta de la creciente visibilidad alcanzada por los libros de medicina, sugiriendo que la disponibilidad de títulos no estuvo supeditada únicamente al flujo comercial, sino que fue también determinada por los propietarios, que ejercieron un rol activo configurándose como público lector específico y creando vías de acceso alternativas., The objective of the article is to provide an account of the analytical possibilities deriving form the study of the medicine books that circulated in Chile during the 18th century. On the basis of the study of private library inventories, commercial inventories, and customs documents, it explores the links between the availability of titles and the tastes of owners/readers. To that effect, it identifies the main characteristics of the medicine books that circulated in Chile, and then goes on to examine the profiles of their owners, the possible uses of those books, and their connection to the dynamics of trade flows. The article shows the visibility acquired by medicine books, and suggests that the availability of titles was not merely subordinated to commercial flows, but was also determined by the owners, who played an active role in constituting themselves as a specific reading audience and creating alternative access routes., Este artigo tem como objetivo explicar as possibilidades analíticas do estudo de livros de medicina que circularam no Chile durante o século XVIII. A partir do estudo de inventários de bibliotecas privadas, inventários comerciais e documentação aduaneira, explora-se os vínculos entre a disponibilidade de títulos e os gostos dos proprietários/leitores. Com esse objetivo, são identificadas as principais características dos livros de medicina que circularam no Chile e, posteriormente, o perfil de seus proprietários, os possíveis usos desses livros e a sua ligação com a dinâmica do fluxo comercial foram examinados. O artigo relata a crescente visibilidade alcançada pelos livros de medicina, sugerindo que a disponibilidade de títulos, além de estar sujeita ao fluxo comercial, também foi determinada pelos proprietários, que exerceram um papel ativo, configurando-se como um público leitor específico e criando vias alternativas de acesso.

The subtitle of Thus Spoke Zaratustra brings a contradiction that links to other fundamental issues that Nietzsche leaves in suspense (what is the book about? What readers are expected?). The contradiction and omission are explained by means of a review of the circumstances of the composition of the book and its conceptual articulation. The antithesis, oppositions, contradictions that Nietzsche uses are deliberate strategies: the author seeks to establish a reflexive relation with his readers., El subtítulo de Así habló Zaratustra cobija una contradicción que está unida a otras cuestiones fundamentales que Nietzsche deja en suspenso (¿de qué libro se trata? ¿A quién va dirigido?). Tal contradicción y omisión se explican por la vía de una revisión de las circunstancias de la composición del libro y de su articulación conceptual. Las antítesis, oposiciones, contradicciones de las que N. se sirve, se entienden como estrategias deliberadas con las que este autor busca entablar una relación reflexiva con sus lectores.

This article addresses the relation between edition and politics from the study of the production, circulation and reception of authors and books circumscribed to the right-wing ideology. Recently, the authors Nicolás Márquez and Agustín Laje, published by the right-wing Unión Editorial, have acquired an unusual visibility, reflected in the cir-culation and selling of their books and the massiveness of their events and presentations. We hold that the communication circuit that produces and reproduces their discourses place the book an object that, as it spreads, allows the authors to become intellectual, cultural and political leaders with “authority” and creates readers communities. They buy, read and use them as a way to ensure their beliefs, feeling and political opinions. From interviews and public monitoring of these authors we explore the forms of sociability and political subjectivation that these authors and their books enable in a space where right-wing ideas circulate in Argentine today., Este artigo trata da relação entre a edição e a política fundamentada no estudo da produção, circulação e recepção dos autores e livros limitados à ideologia das direitas. Recentemente, os autores Nicolás Márquez e Agustín Laje, publicados pela editora da di-reita Unión, alcançaram uma visibilidade inusual, refletida na circulação e venda dos seus livros e na massividade do público em seus eventos e apresentações. Argumentamos que o circuito de comunicação que produz e reproduz seus discursos, tem livros como obje-tos disseminados e permite que seus autores se tornem referências intelectuais, culturais e políticas com "autoridade", criando asimm comunidades de leitores. Eles compram os livros, os leem e os usam como sustentação e como forma de garantir a suas crenças, sen-timentos e opiniões políticas. A partir das entrevistas feitas e acompanhamento público desses autores, exploramos as formas de sociabilidade e subjetivação política que esses autores e seus livros possibilitam em um espaço para a circulação de idéias das direitas na Argentina atual., Este artículo aborda la relación entre edición y política a partir del estudio de la producción, circulación y recepción de autores y libros circunscriptos a la ideología de derechas. Recientemente, los autores Nicolás Márquez y Agustín Laje, publicados por la editorial de derechas Unión, han logrado una visibilidad inusitada, reflejada en la circulación y venta de sus libros y la masividad de los eventos y presentaciones. Argumentamos que el circuito de comunicación que produce y reproduce sus discursos tiene a los libros como objetos que se difunden y permiten que sus autores se conviertan en referentes intelectuales, culturales y políticos con “autoridad” y que crean comunidades de lectores. Éstos compran, leen y los utilizan como fundamento y como modo de asegurar sus creencias, sentimientos y opiniones políticas. A partir de entrevistas y seguimiento del público de estos autores exploramos las formas de sociabilidad y de subjetivación política que estos autores y sus libros habilitan en un espacio de circulación de ideas de derechas en la Argentina actual.

One of the main tasks that are developed by the university is editing and publishing contents. To the Latin american case, this process, is relatively new and in order to achieve the goal, each of the branches that make part of the whole university body had to review what does editing mean in the academic environment and specially, what its social function is. Many are the achievements and findings in the past decades but also it is clear that the training and the will to learn are there; the editing activity is alive, in constant improvement and it certainly is a passionating labor. That’s the reason why we should be open minded to the challenges. The purpose of this text is to reflect about the editorial achievements and propose new editorial paths., Uma das atividades desenvolvidas pela universidade é editar e publicar conteúdo, para o caso da América Latina, é relativamente recente, para realizar essa tarefa, asdiferentes instâncias que compõem a instituição universitária foram forçadas a rever cuidadosamente o que significa editar na universidade, e qual é a sua função social. Há muitas descobertas e conquistas nas últimas décadas, mas igualmente, é claro que a aprendizagem continua, a atividade editorial está viva, mudando e, claro, empolgante, é apropriado estar aberto a mudanças.

[Resumen] Históricamente la lectura ha sido concebida como una de las fuentes principales de acceso al ocio y socialmente se le da tanta importancia que su enseñanza y fomento se ha convertido en uno de los puntos clave en el sistema educativo español. En este sentido en los últimos años distintas generaciones de jóvenes han sido objeto y objetivo de diversas políticas cuyo fin era fomentar los hábitos de lectura. Se da por hecho, por tanto, que el gusto por la lectura se puede adquirir, aprender y depende de condicionantes sociales. El objetivo del presente documento es elaborar una tipología de perfiles cuyo fin es analizar el impacto de variables de índole social (tales como el género, el nivel de estudios, la clase social, etc.) en el gusto por determinado tipo de géneros literarios (ensayo, novela histórica, Sci-fi, etc.) y en la relación, más o menos fuerte, que se tiene con el mundo de la literatura., [Resumo] Historicamente a lectura foi concibida como una das fontes principais de acceso ao ocio e socialmente dáselle tanta importancia que a súa ensinanza e fomento convertéronse nun dos puntos clave no sistema educativo español. Neste senso nos últimos anos distintas xeracións de xente nova foron obxecto e obxectivo de diversas políticas cuxo fin era fomentar os hábitos de lectura. Se da por feito, por tanto, que o gusto pola lectura pódese adquirir, aprender e depende de condicionantes sociais. O obxectivo do presente documento é elaborar unha tipoloxía de perfís cuxo fin e analizar o impacto de variables de índole social (tales coma o xénero, o nivel de estudos, a clase social, etc.) no gusto por determinado tipo de xéneros literarios (ensaio, novela histórica, Sci-fi, etc.) e na relación, máis ou menos forte, que se ten co mundo da literatura., [Abstract] Reading has been historically conceived as one of the main sources of access to leisure. It is given so much socially importance that its teaching and promotion have become some of the key points in the Spanish educative system. In this sense, Recent young generations have been the object and objective of various policies whose purpose was to encourage reading habits. Therefore, it is taken for granted that the taste for reading can be acquired that it depends on social conditions. The objective of this document is to develop a typology of profiles in onder to analyze the impact of variables of social nature (such as gender, level of studies, social class, etc.) on the taste for certain types of literary genres (essay, historical novel, Sci-fi, etc.) and on the relationship, more or less strong, that readers have with the world of literature.

For more than a quarter of a century, newspapers are looking for their place in society. They lost it when the technology became digital and facilitated the way to create, produce and send content. Between digital media and readers, there is no relationship of equality, of necessity, or even of interest in information, because most of them find it on other Internet sites. The technological transformation to which they have been subjected is only the tip of the iceberg they face today. The changes are not only technological, but economic, financial for the environment, social and credibility. The latter is in fashion among the scientific community, for the large number of false content circulating in the networks and also in some newspapers. We must regain confidence in the media. This article aims to evaluate the documentary sources used in digital newspapers to verify information. For this, a study of the Spanish digital media and the use of their social networks is made.,  Hace más de un cuarto de siglo que los periódicos están buscando su hueco en la sociedad. Lo perdieron cuando la tecnología se hizo digital y facilitó la manera de crear, producir y enviar contenidos. Entre los medios digitales y los lectores no hay una relación de igualdad, ni de necesidad, ni siquiera de interés por la información, porque la mayoría la encuentran en otros sitios de Internet. La transformación tecnológica a la que se han visto sometidos es tan solo la punta del iceberg al que se enfrentan en la actualidad. Los cambios no son solo tecnológicos, sino económicos, financieros para el medio, sociales y de credibilidad. Este último está de moda entre la comunidad científica, por la gran cantidad de contenidos falsos que circulan en las redes y también en algunos periódicos. Hay que recuperar la confianza en los medios de comunicación. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo evaluar las fuentes documentales que se emplean en los periódicos digitales para verificar las informaciones. Para ello, se hace un estudio de los medios digitales españoles y la utilización de sus redes sociales.

How many newspapers were sold in Buenos Aires in the years that go from the revolution to the fall of Juan Manuel de Rosas? The question point out a dark spot in the historiography of the Argentine press and editorial culture, but also in the studies of political and intellectual history, since it presupposes in its formulation another no less difficult to answer: how many were its readers? Who had material access to the newspapers? The present work is an attempt to advance in a field still little known of the culture lettered in century XIX. Divided in two parts, the first presents a description of the formal and discursive resources in the formation of the public opinion –centered on the modes of fictionalization of opinion, through announcements and correspondences–, while the second part proposes an approximation analytical to its empirical counterpart, that is, an examination of the possible particulars readers of newspapers, by analyzing the costs and wages in two significant and equidistant periods., ¿Cuántos periódicos se vendían en Buenos Aires en los años que van de la Revolución a la caída de Juan Manuel de Rosas? La pregunta señala un punto oscuro en la historiografía de la prensa y de la cultura mediática argentinas, pero también en los estudios de historia política e intelectual, pues supone en su formulación otra no menos difícil de responder: ¿cuántos eran sus lectores? ¿Quiénes tenían acceso material a los impresos? El presente trabajo es un intento de avanzar en un terreno hasta ahora poco transitado del intercambio letrado en el siglo XIX. Dividido en dos partes, la primera presenta una descripción de los recursos formales y discursivos en la formación de la llamada opinión pública –centrada en los modos de ficcionalización de la opinión, a través de remitidos y correspondencias–, mientras que la segunda propone una aproximación analítica a su contraparte empírica, esto es, un examen de los posibles lectores concretos de periódicos, mediante el análisis de costos y salarios en dos períodos significativos y equidistantes.

Since the late 19th centuary, Bahia Blanca underwent and accelerated economic, social and culture modernization process. This process resulted in an unprecedented multiplication of media outlets and a remarkable expansión of literacy. The press participated both as an outcome and as an active player in the configuration of the modern city. Ilustrated maganizes appeared as urban products at the crossroads of a written and visual culture in full development. By means of different mechanisms, these reading material gained their own audience and acccounted for the increase in the number of readers and the growing legitimacy granted by the reading practice as a social distinction token for the rising bourgeoisie class. According to this scenario, the reading problem will be approached here form a threefold dimensión that includes the empirical reconstruction of this audience through direct and indirect indicators, the recovery ot he model reader proposed by magazines and the analysis of the visual and discursive representations of the reader and of the reading activity itself that appeared in said magazines., Bahía Blanca experimentó un proceso de modernización económica, social y cultural acelerada desde fines del siglo XIX, que supuso una multiplicación inédita de los medios periodísticos y una expansión notable de la lectoescritura. La prensa intervino como resultado y como agente activo en la configuración de la ciudad moderna. Las revistas ilustradas emergieron como productos urbanos en el cruce de una cultura escrita y una cultura visual en pleno desarrollo. Estos impresos, por mecanismos diversos, iban conformando su propio público y dieron cuenta de la ampliación del número de lectores y de la creciente legitimidad que otorgaba la práctica lectora como marca de distinción social para una burguesía en ascenso. De acuerdo con ello, el problema de la lectura será abordado, aquí, desde una triple dimensión que incluye la reconstrucción empírica de ese público mediante indicadores directos e indirectos, la recuperación del lector modelo propuesto por las revistas y el análisis de las representaciones visuales y discursivas de los lectores y del ejercicio mismo de la lectura que en ellas aparecieron., A Bahia Branca experimentou um processo de modernização econômica, social e cultural acelerada desde os fins do século XIX, que implicou uma multiplicação inédita dos médios jornalísticos e uma expansão notável da lecto escrita.

As revistas ilustradas emergiram como produtos urbanos no cruzamento de uma cultura escrita e uma cultura visual em pleno desenvolvimento.

De acordo com isto, o problema da leitura vai ser abordado, aqui, desde uma tríplice dimensão que inclui a reconstrução empírica desse público mediante indicadores diretos e indiretos, a recuperação do leitor modelo proposto pelas revistas e a análise das representações visuais e discursivas dos leitores e do exercício mesmo da leitura que nelas apareceram.

The Almanac of Women for the year 1899 builds a new story about the habitus of well-to-do women of the late nineteenth century. Through the adoption and adaptation of the almanac format, La Mujer para el año 1899 represents the time with the purpose of stimulating the emergence of modern readers in the year 1899. The novelty of this article lies in the analysis of a poorly addressed corpus, which is studied with the purpose of unveiling the strategies it deploys to modify the perceptions of women’s roles, a step away of the twentieth century. The hypothesis indicates that with the use of a format which core is the representation of time, those responsible for this Almanac, use it as a pretext to differentiate the end of one era and the beginning of another, marked by the active role of women as reader and intellectual. The methodology of this work considers the articulation of Roger Chartier’s approximations on the production of textual forms and their acquisition of meaning; on the provisions of sexual gender and the writing of women toPierre Bourdieu, Adriana Valdés, Patrizia Violi, and Claudia Montero about the women’s press. The conclusions indicate that the almanac was modernized assuming proper elements of the magazine, becoming an ideal vehicle to transfer its traditional functions, as a result and thanks to extensive reading, the perception of the advent of a new appropriation of time and gender-sex roles., O Almanaque de La Mujer (Almanaque das Mulheres) para o ano de 1899 constrói uma nova história sobre o habitus das mulheres chilenas acomodadas no final do século XIX. Através da adoção eadaptação do formato do Almanaque de La Mujer para o ano de 1899 foi proposta uma representação do tempo cujo objetivo era estimular o surgimento de leitoras modernas. A novidade deste artigo é a análise de um corpus mal abordado, o qual é estudado a fim de revelar as estratégias utilizadas pelas responsáveis do almanaque para mudar percepções dos papéis das mulheres, na passagem para o século XX. A hipótese afirma que, usando um formato cujo centro era a representação do tempo, as encarregadas deste almanaque o utilizaram como pretexto para identificar o fim de uma era e o início de outra, marcada pelo papel ativo das mulheres como leitoras e intelectuais. A metodologia utilizada para a análise dessas práticas considera as abordagens de Roger Chartier sobre a produçãode formas textuais e sua aquisição de significado; as de Pierre Bourdieu, Adriana Valdés e Patrizia Violi sobre as provisões de gênero sexual e da escrita das mulheres; e as de Claudia Montero na imprensa feminina. As conclusões indicam que o almanaque foi modernizado assumindo elementos próprios da revista, tornando-se um veículo ideal para transpor suas funções tradicionais, resultando na percepção do advento de uma nova apropriação do tempo e dos papéis de gênero e sexo., El Almanaque de La Mujer para el año 1899 construye un nuevo relato en torno al habitus de las mujeres chilenas acomodadas de fines del siglo XIX. A través de la adopción y adaptación del formato del almanaque La Mujer para el año 1899 se propuso una representación del tiempo cuyo propósito era estimular el surgimiento de lectoras modernas. La novedad de este artículo radica en el análisis de un corpus escasamente abordado, el cual es estudiado con el fin de develar las estrategias desplegadas por las responsables del almanaque para modificar las percepciones de los roles de la mujer, ad portas del siglo XX. La hipótesis señala que, con el uso de un formato cuyo centro fue la representación del tiempo, las encargadas de este almanaque lo utilizaron como pretexto para diferenciar el fin de una época y el inicio de otra, marcada por el rol activo de la mujer como lectora e intelectual. La metodología empleada para el análisis de estas prácticas considera las aproximaciones de Roger Chartier sobre la producción de formas textuales y su adquisición de sentido; las de Pierre Bourdieu, Adriana Valdés y Patrizia Violi sobre las disposiciones de género sexual y la escritura de mujeres; y lasde Claudia Montero sobre la prensa de mujeres. Las conclusiones indican que el almanaque se modernizó asumiendo elementos propios del magazine, convirtiéndose en un vehículo idóneo para traspasar sus funciones tradicionales, dando como resultado la percepción del advenimiento de una nueva apropiación del tiempo y de los roles de género y sexuales.

This work arises from the desire to contribute to the recognition of the countless and uninterrupted efforts made by Susana Rotker (Caracas, 1954 - Piscataway, 2000) to make Latin American chronicle more accessible to the readers interested in Latin American Studies and Literature, at the end of the 20th century. The study describes the context of the emergence of her work on Latin American chronicle, her research methods and practices (doubts, purposes, ways of analyzing and certainties reached), and the reception of her works. All this serves as a presentation to “Ciudades escritas por la violencia” (Cities written by violence), now edited by Cuadernos de Literatura. A work that manifests the author’s vital inclination to inquire and elucidate the citizen’s experiences (of violence) in Latin American contemporary genres like the journalistic and literary chronicle., Este trabalho surge do reconhecimento da contribuição intensa e ininterrompida de Susana Rotker (Caracas, 1954 - Piscataway, 2000) para fazer visível a crônica para os leitores do campo dos Estudos Latino-americanos e dos Estudos Literários da região, nos finais do século XX. Descreve o contexto do aparecimento de suas pesquisas sobre a crônica latino-americana, as ações práticas do seu ofício de pesquisadora (dúvidas, propósitos, modos de analisar e certezas alcançadas), e a recepção de suas publicações. Todo isso serve de apresentação do seu texto “Cidades escritas pela violência”, editado desta vez por Cuadernos de Literatura. Trabalho que mostra por si só a vital inclinação da autora para investigar e esclarecer, em equipe interdisciplinar, as experiências cidadãs (da violência) representadas em textos latino-americanos como a crônica jornalística e literária., Este trabajo surge del reconocimiento de la intensa e ininterrumpida contribución de Susana Rotker (Caracas, 1954 - Piscataway, 2000) en hacer visible la crónica para los lectores del campo de los Estudios Latinoamericanos y de los Estudios Literarios de la región, a finales del siglo XX. Describe el contexto de aparición de sus investigaciones sobre la crónica latinoamericana, las acciones prácticas de su oficio de investigadora (dudas, propósitos, modos de analizar y certezas alcanzadas), y la recepción de sus publicaciones. Todo ello sirve de presentación a su texto “Ciudades escritas por la violencia”, editado esta vez por Cuadernos de Literatura. Trabajo que muestra por sí mismo la vital inclinación de su autora a indagar y a esclarecer, en equipo interdisciplinario, las experiencias ciudadanas (de la violencia) representadas en textos latinoamericanos como la crónica periodística y literaria.

This study analyzes students’reading of self-improvement books in twouniversity contexts. The initial hypothesisoriginates from market studies and nationalsurveys that show high consumptionrates among these types of popularliterature. One of the major goals was todiscover what makes them so attractive toteenagers and young people. A theoreticaldiscussion is presented here based in socioculturalstudies and positivistic psychology.Methodology was based on a qualitativeanalysis of a corpus integrated by marketplacestudies and public school student’stestimonies from the last two years ofhigh school and the university level. Datasheds light on the main topics of interestfrom the books themselves and from thereaders. Conclusions lead us to assert thatmore than contexts, the condition of youngpeople defines them as readers in a societyin movement. They just have different perspectivesabout happiness., Esta investigación tuvo el objetivo de estudiar la lectura de libros de superación personal o autoayuda, que realizan estudiantes de dos contextos contrastantes: el urbano y el rural. Se partió de la hipótesis de los estudios de mercado y encuestas nacionales que evidencian altos consumos de este tipo de literatura popular. Interesó descubrir qué los vuelve tan atractivos entre los jóvenes. Se presenta la discusión teórica desde los estudios socioculturales y la psicología positiva. La metodología se basó en el análisis cualitativo de un corpus compuesto por el aparto mercadológico, los testimonios de estudiantes de escuelas públicas del nivel bachillerato y universitario. Los datos arrojan los principales temas de interés de los libros y los lectores. Concluimos que no hay diferencia sustantiva entre los contextos urbano y rural; la condición de juventud los caracteriza como lectores en una sociedad en movimiento. Solamente tienen perspectivas diferentes de la felicidad.

This article presents thoughts on the concept of reading that José Martí exposed in the illustrated magazine La Edad de Oro (1889). For it, we will get back to the barthesian proposal about the concepts of reader andreading, which where present in a brief corpus of articles written by the French semiologist. In this supposedly-for-children magazine, the narrator presents themselves as a producer of meaning in two levels. The first one deals with anovel reader proposal, “the boys and girls of America” while the second contemplates the first person narration using the first grammatical person in the chronicle dedicated to the Exposition Universelle of 1889 in Paris. This text was the core article for the third issue of the magazine and it concealed very well the fact that Martí had never visited the French capital other than by means of reading others who did., El presente artículo ofrece una reflexión en torno al concepto de lectura que José Martí expone en la revista La Edad de Oro (1889). Para ello, recuperaremos la propuesta barthesiana acerca de los conceptos de lector y lectura, presentes en un breve corpus de artículos del semiólogo francés. En la revista supuestamente infantil, el narrador se presenta como productor de sentido en dos niveles. El primero versa sobre la propuesta de categoría de lector novedosa hasta ese momento, “los niños y niñas de América”. El segundo contempla la narración en primera persona en la crónica dedicada a la Exposición Universal de París de 1889, texto central del tercer número de la revista y lugar que, contrariamente a lo que el lector común pensaría, el escritor no visitó más que a partir de la lectura de otros textos de quienes sí viajaron y la recorrieron en persona.

In 1953 Aldo D’Alfonso edited the volume Mille domande a Vie Nuove. Mille risposte a Vie Nuove, the first collection of letters published in the Communist magazine Vie Nuove concerning the column dedicated to the correspondence, that so called Corrispondenza con i lettori. Taking this seminal work as a starting point, I will focus on studying the correspondence within the Communist periodicals in the second post-war period. In order to achieve this purpose in a more extensive and complete way, I will also examine the letters published in two other periodicals of the same period – Rinascita and Il Calendario del Popolo – taking into account those letters specifically dedicated – in various ways – to cinema. In particular, I will analyze the topics of these letters dealing with the relationship between cinema and readers in non-film specific cultural magazines, with the aim to provide a picture of how people experienced and perceived cinema and, analyzing the geographical origin and the age of the letters writers, to trace out a profile of the readers.

The epistolary column has always played a fundamental role both in women's and men’s cineromanzi: in these periodicals, many publishers have dedicated numerous pages to the direct confrontation between readers and mysterious advisors. Following an archival research carried out at the Bibliomediateca Mario Gromo of Turin, this essay aims to investigate how the most important cineromanzi have dealt with the mail (and the photos) sent by the public, also tracing the different policies adopted in the responses. After an introductory paragraph dedicated to tout court cineromanzi, the corpus of the discussion will be organized in two steps, respectively dedicated to the melodramatic and erotic ones, investigated in the light of the different forms of piccola posta - the prose letters column - and the vetrina dei lettori – the photographic insert of the readers.

The advent of media transition highlights the importance of user-generated content on social media. Amongst the methods of analysis of user-generated content, sentiment analysis is widely used. Nevertheless, few studies use sentiment analysis to investigate user-generated content on Instagram in the context of public libraries. Therefore, this study aims to fill this research gap by conducting sentiment analysis of two million captions on Instagram. Supervised machine learning algorithms were employed to create the classifier. Three opinion polarities and six emotions were ultimately identified via these captions. These polarities provide new insights for understanding readers, thus helping libraries to deliver better services., QC20190612

This article analyzes the success of the children’s stories by Uruguayan Constancio Cecilio Vigil. The enormous popularity that the writer and publisher –who had settled in Argentina in the early 20th century– reached in the 1940s and 1950s was due to a combination of factors: the recognition of Constancio Vigil as an author of books with humanistic and moral contents; the construction of children as readers and consumers; Atlántida publishers’ policy of editing and republishing books in both inexpensive and deluxe, large and small formats; the reading pact with parents, who were assured “good, clean fun” for their children, and with children, who were not only taught morals but also given texts written in simple, enjoyable language, with colorful illustrations and a bit of adventure and imagination., El presente artículo analiza el éxito de los cuentos para niños del uruguayo Constancio Cecilio Vigil. La gran popularidad que el escritor y editor –radicado en Argentina desde comienzos del siglo xx– alcanzó en los años cuarenta y cincuenta se debió a la conjunción de múltiples influjos: el reconocimiento de Constancio Vigil como un autor de libros con contenidos humanísticos y morales; la construcción de los niños como lectores y consumidores; la política de Editorial Atlántida de editar y reeditar los libros en formatos económicos y lujosos, grandes y pequeños; el pacto de lectura con los padres, a los que se les aseguraba “sana diversión” para sus hijos, al mismo tiempo que con los chicos, a los que no sólo les entregaba moralejas sino también textos escritos en lenguaje sencillo y ameno, ilustraciones de trazos claros y coloridos y algo de aventuras e imaginación.

From a multidisciplinary approach, this paper presents a critical review of the previous conceptual map of the readers of what has traditionally been referred to as Children and Young People’s Literature (CYPL) and reflects on the impact that their differe nt profiles may have on its translation. On the basis of these considerations, a new CYPL classification model is proposed. Applied to the context of Translation Studies, this will offer more precise data on its readers’ true interests and expectations with regards to the foreignization vs. domestication dichotomy as well as on the translator behavior and the editorial tendencies in this respect ., Desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar, en este trabajo se realiza una revisión crítica del mapa conceptual precedente en torno al receptor de lo que tradicionalmente se conoce como li teratura infantil y juvenil (LIJ) y se reflexiona sobre el impacto que sus diferentes perfiles pueden ejercer en su traducción. A partir de estas consideraciones previas, se propone un nuevo modelo de clasificación de LIJ que, aplicado al ámbito de la Traductología, permitirá obtener información más precisa sobre los verdaderos intereses y expectativas de sus receptores en torno a la dicotomía domesticación y extranjerización, así como sobre el comportamiento traductor y la tendencia editorial a este re specto.

Strategi pembacaan untuk memahami teks Komponen Kesusasteraan Melayu (KOMSAS) diperlukan dalam kalangan pelajar untuk meningkatkan penguasaan teks prosa moden dan tradisional. Namun begitu, kebanyakan pelajar tidak menggunakan strategi pemahaman teks yang betul menyebabkan mereka tidak memahami kandungan teks bacaan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan pencapaian pemahaman teks KOMSAS prosa moden dan tradisional dalam kalangan pelajar Orang Asli sebelum dan selepas menggunakan strategi PQ4R (Harley, 2014), dan menganalis tahap keaktifan pemahaman teks KOMSAS dalam kalangan pelajar Orang Asli. Kajian secara lapangan ini menggunakan kaedah eksperimen kuasi dengan menerapkan strategi PQ4R yang melibatkan langkah Prebiu, Soalan dan 4R, iaitu Baca, Refleksi, Baca Semula dan Semak dalam pengajaran pemahaman teks prosa moden dan tradisional. Seramai 50 pelajar tingkatan empat dalam kalangan Orang Asli di SMK Kuala Krau, Temerloh, Pahang Darul Makmur dipilih menjadi sampel kajian ini. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa pemahaman teks KOMSAS prosa moden dan tradisional dalam kalangan pelajar Orang Asli sebelum dan selepas menggunakan strategi PQ4R mencatatkan pencapaian yang baik dan cemerlang. Hal ini bermakna pemahaman teks KOMSAS dalam prosa moden dan tradisional oleh pelajar telah mencapai tahap yang positif selepas menggunakan strategi PQ4R, berbanding tahap yang lemah dan sangat lemah sebelum aplikasi dilakukan oleh pelajar. Hasil analisis data kuantatif daripada SPSS menunjukkan bahawa sebelum strategi PQ4R diperkenalkan kepada pelajar, min markah pencapaian ujian pemahaman prosa moden adalah sebanyak 3.34. Selepas strategi PQ4R diperkenalkan kepada pelajar sebelum mereka membaca dan memahami teks, skor min meningkat kepada 6.32. Min markah pencapaian ujian bagi pemahaman prosa tradisional dalam kalangan pelajar sebelum menggunakan strategi PQ4R adalah sebanyak 2.54 berbanding dengan 5.76 selepas menggunakan strategi PQ4R. Dalam makna yang lebih luas, min markah penc

In hierdie proefskrif word ondersoek ingestel na die parateks as narratiewe strategie vir toeganklikheid in geselekteerde Afrikaanse kinder- en jeugliteratuur. Die kern van hierdie ondersoek is die toeganklikheid van die boodskap binne die paratekstuele en narratiewe kommunikasiesituasie. Vir hierdie ondersoek is die sentrale probleemstelling soos volg geformuleer: hoe word die parateks as narratiewe strategie gebruik om kinder- en jeugliteratuur meer toeganklik vir jong lesers te maak? Gérard Genette se werk oor die parateks (1997a) en die narratologie (1983, 1990) dien as teoretiese basis vir hierdie studie se konseptuele raamwerk, aangevul deur die werk van Mieke Bal (1991, 2009). Jauss (1982) se resepsie-estetika word ook betrek ten einde toeganklikheid ten opsigte van die primêre teikenmark te formuleer. Binne die konteks van hierdie konseptuele raamwerk, word daar afsonderlik ondersoek ingestel na die ontvangers, senders en boodskap van die paratekstuele en narratiewe kommunikasiesituasie. Die ontvangers is die lesers van die parateks as narratiewe strategie vir toeganklikheid en word bespreek as die primêre, dubbele en tweeledige teikenmarkte. Die senders is die verskillende skrywers betrokke by die skepping en implementering van die parateks as narratiewe strategie vir toeganklikheid. Onderskeid word getref tussen die primêre skrywer, die tweede skrywer en die sekondêre skrywer. Laastens word die boodskap ondersoek soos dit met die visuele parateks en die talige parateks verband hou. Aan die hand van die konseptuele raamwerk van hierdie studie, en die verskillende rolspelers en boodskappe binne die paratekstuele en narratiewe kommunikasiesituasie, dui die studie aan hoe die parateks as narratiewe strategie gebruik kan word om kinder- en jeugliteratuur vir veral die primêre teikenmark meer toeganklik te maak., This thesis sets out to illustrate how the paratext can be used as narrative strategy for accessibility in selected Afrikaans children’s and youth fiction. Central to this study is the accessibility of the message in the paratextual and narrative communication situation. In this regard, the central research question is as follows: how can the paratext be used as a narrative strategy to make children’s and youth literature more accessible for young readers? Gérard Genette’s work on the paratext (1997a) and narratology (1983, 1990) serves as the theoretical basis for this study’s conceptual framework, along with the work of Mieke Bal (1991, 2009). In order to define accessibility in terms of the primary target audience, reference is also made to Jauss’s (1982) reception theory. Within the context of this conceptual framework, focus is placed on the receivers, senders and message of the paratextual and narrative communication situation. The receivers are the readers of the paratext as narrative strategy for accessibility and are discussed as the primary, twofold and dual target audiences. The senders are the different writers involved in the creation and implementation of the paratext as narrative strategy for accessibility. Here a distinction is made between the primary writer, the second writer and the secondary writer. Lastly, the message is discussed as it relates to the visual paratext and textual paratext. Through the conceptual framework of this study, along with the different role players and messages of the paratext as narrative strategy for accessibility, this study shows how the paratext as narrative strategy can be used to make children’s and youth literature more accessible for especially the primary target audience., Le thisisi ihlose ukuveza ukuthi umbhalo ohunyushiwe ungasetshenziswa kanjani njengesu lokuxoxa emibhalweni ekhethiwe yesiBhunu yezingane kanye naleyo yabantu abasha .Okubalulekile kulesi sifundo socwaningo wukutholakala komlayezo wombhalo ohunyushiwe kanye nesimo sokuxhumana ngengxoxo. Ngalokho-ke, umbuzo oyinsika kulesi sifundo socwaningo ngolandelayo: Ngabe inkulumo ehunyushiwe ingasetshenziswa kanjani njengesu lokuxoxa, elingenza ukuthi imibhalo yobuciko yezingane kanye naleyo yabantu abasha ukuze itholakale kalula kubafundi abasebasha? Umsebenzi kaGérard Genette i-paratext (1997a) kanye ne-narratology (1983, 1990) usebenza njengesisekelo sesakhiwo sebizo salesi sifundo socwaningo, kanti lokhu kuhambisana nomsebenzi ka MiekeBal (1991,2009). Ukuze siphumelele ukuchaza mayelana nokutholakala kwabafundi bezincwadi abahlosiwe, uyanxuswa ukuthi ufunde ithiyori emayelana nokutholakala kwabafundi bomlayezo ka Jauss (1982). Ngaphansi kwesimo sesakhiwo segama, kugxilwe kakhulu kubamukeli, kubathumeli kanye nakumlayezo wombhalo ohunyushiwe kanye nesimo sokuxhumana ngengxoxo. Abamukeli bomlayezo kungabafundi bombhalo ohunyushiwe, okuyisu elisetshenziswa ukuthola umlayezo, kanti la masu axoxwa njengalawo aqonde abafundi bokuqala, abambaxambili futhi anezinhloso ezimbili.. Abathumeli bomlayezo kungabhali abadlala indima yokwakha kanye nokusebenzisa imibhalo ehunyushiwe njengesu lokuxoxa elisetshenziswa ukuthola umlayezo. Lapha, kuvezwa umehluko ophakathi kombhali wokuqala, umbhali wesibili kanye nombhali osezingeni lesibili. Okukugcina, umlayezo uxoxwa njengoba uhlobana nombhalo ohunyushiwe obukelwayo kanye nombhalo ohunyushiwe olotshiwe Ngokusebenzisa uhlelo lwesakhiwo segama salesi sifundo, esisebenzisana ndawonye nabadlali bendima abahlukahlukene kanye nemilayezo yombhalo ohunyushiwe njengesu lokuxoxa elisetshenziswa ukuthola umlayezo, lokhu kukhombisa ukuthi umbhalo ohunyushiwe oyisu lokuxoxa ungasetshenziswa kanjani ukwenza ukuthi imibhalo yobuciko yezingane kanye naley

In the summer of 1863 right after the Polish uprising, the Russian Minister of the Interior Piotr Valuev issued a circular that effectively banned the publication of all popular literature, including textbooks and religious texts. The article is an attempt to gauge the impact of the Valuev Circular on Ukrainian literature by comparing book publishing at different periods of the 19th century in terms of the number of books, languages, genres, and geography, as well as its relevance to the contemporary literary canon. The author concludes that the Valuev Circular was an unambiguous manifestation of awareness on the part of the Russian authorities that the Ukrainian cultural revival posed a serious danger to the unity of the Empire. And the detrimental effect it had on all of Ukrainian culture is well documented. The silver lining, if there was any, was that the very name “Little Russian” acquired a derogatory meaning, and since 1863 all “nationally conscious” Ukrainians (“natsionalno-svidomi,” a term coined by Borys Hrinchenko) had to radically rethink their attitudes towards the country they lived in. The bilingualism of the previous generation was now considered an act of betrayal. The Circular did not succeed in eradicating the Ukrainian movement. Ukrainian literature, as a repository of national aspirations, survived half a century of external pressure, but it had to pay a high price. By banning the Ukrainian language from school church, and from most other spheres of state and social life the Valuev Circular deprived Ukraine of at least two generations of Ukrainian readers (arguably, one of the two indispensable elements of any literature) and seriously curtailed the ability of Ukrainian literature to create a viable infrastructure.

El presente texto es una revisión del cuento peruano en los primeros quince años. Se revisará los contextos sociales y culturales donde ha continuado el cultivo del cuento y los nuevos derroteros seguidos por los nuevos escritores del relato breve. Se puede reconocer que hay líneas temáticas como el realismo urbano y el tema de la migración a los que se ha sumado un interés por la literatura fantástica., The present text is a review of the Peruvian story in the first fifteen years. We will review the social and cultural contexts where the story has been cultivated and the new paths followed by the new writers of the short story. It can be recognized that there are thematic lines such as urban realism and the subject of migration to which has been added an interest in fantastic literature.

Every time a news about gangs is reported in digital newspapers - whether these are the perpetrators or that one of their members has been killed - the media feedback platforms are filled with different reactions from the readers. The discourse of these news has already been well studied. However, there is no analysis of how audiences perceive such information and react to it. Taking into account that gap, this research took as a sample the comments of the readers posted on Facebook after the journalistic publication of two violent acts related to gang members. The speech reflects a contradiction among the readers: on the one hand, they repudiate the violence exerted by the gangs; and on the other, they justify it and even demand it and cause them rejoicing when the sufferer is a member of gangs. A narrative coherent with the journalistic stories, which have incited fear and encouraged the strong hand as a solution.

El discurso de esas noticias ha sido ya bastante estudiado. Sin embargo, no existe un análisis de cómo las audiencias perciben dicha información y reaccionan ante ella. Teniendo en cuenta esa brecha, esta investigación tomó como muestra los comentarios de los lectores posteados en Facebook tras la publicación periodística de dos hechos violentos protagonizados por miembros de maras. El discurso refleja una contradicción de los lectores: por un lado, repudian la violencia ejercida por las pandillas; y por el otro, la justifican y hasta la exigen y les causa regocijo cuando el que la sufre es miembro de maras. Una narrativa coherente con los relatos periodísticos, que han incitado al miedo y alentado la mano dura como solución.Realidad: Revista de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades No. 149, 2017: 147-169

The present text reports some reflections and actions carried out in different phases of two extension projects, "Reading circles: a way to train readers" and "Storytelling: a classroom work", under development at the Federal University of Tocantins, in Arraias Campus. Among the actions developed, we present here a work done with the children's literature "Chapeuzinhos Coloridos" (“Colorful Hats”), by José Roberto Torero and Marcus Aurelius Pimenta, in two educational institutions of the municipality of Arraias - TO. The work originated from the unfolding of extension activities in schools in which the enchantment of students and teachers at the moment of sharing the text "in circles", showed the teachers of the school, participants of the project, how and why to tell stories and to organize reading circles in the classroom. The experience reinforced the previous conviction of the importance of initial and continuing training, as well as of the exchange of experiences for the constitution of the teaching identity., O presente texto relata algumas reflexões e ações realizadas em etapas de dois projetos de extensão, “Rodas de leitura: um caminho para formar leitores” e “Contar histórias: um trabalho de sala de aula”, em desenvolvimento na Universidade Federal do Tocantins, Câmpus de Arraias. Dentre as ações desenvolvidas, apresentamos aqui um trabalho realizado com a obra de literatura infantil “Chapeuzinhos Coloridos”, de José Roberto Torero e Marcus Aurelius Pimenta, em duas instituições de ensino do município de Arraias – TO. O trabalho originou-se dos desdobramentos das atividades extensionistas nas escolas quando do encanto de alunos e professores no momento do compartilhamento “em roda” da referida obra, ilustrando aos professores da escola, participantes do projeto, como e por que contar histórias e montar rodas de leituras em sala. A experiência reforçou a convicção anterior da importância de formações iniciais e continuadas, bem como da troca de experiências para a constituição da identidade docente.
