Increasing experiences with the act of reading in language school education: a discussion about intersubjectivity and readers formation

Abstract

This article studies the act of reading in an approach that considers the inter-subjective and intra-subjective dimensions of the act of reading as compulsory to the reader's formation. It is an approach based on Vygotsky’s concepts of interpsychic and intrapsychic (2012 [1931]), from the understanding of the author that the object of intrapsychic appropriation emerges from interpsychic relations established by the subjects in the field of culture and history. The theoretical perspective includes the articulation of literacy studies, the Bakhtinian and Vigotskyan thoughts, since we understood that these theories, even though distinct in many ways, dialogue between themselves regarding the concepts of subject and language. The goal of this paper is to present a theoretical discussion that addresses issues related to language education related to the increasing of cultural repertoire, a process made possible through reading.
