La reading literacy tra educazione democratica ed educazione mercatoria. Una possibile rilettura deweyana

Abstract

The paper proposes an analysis of the recent debate on reading literacy in education, highlighting the opposing positions that identify functional reading as a tool either for democratic participation or for conforming to the market-meritocratic logic. Against this oppositional view, the article reconstructs the origin of reading literacy in order to explore, with Dewey, the possibility of rethinking functional reading in the light of a democratic vision of education and schooling.
