| Abstract: |
This chapter focuses on the practice of reading and the changes it undergoes in our time, where printed and digital texts coexist, alongside older established and newer emerging reading practices. The chapter provides a brief overview of the history of reading to highlight the historical perspective and the successive phases in the formation of the reading act, from which the strong characteristics it holds today have emerged. It describes the features of traditional reading of printed materials (e.g., physical contact, page-turning, note-taking, discontinuous and fragmented reading) and explores the changes brought about by the widespread practice of reading digital texts on computer screens and reading devices. The focus is on concepts such as materiality and spatiality, which prove to be key ideas for tracking the transformation of the terms and characteristics of reading (including sociological, cognitive aspects, etc.).
