This book is about the experience of reading-what reading feels
like, how it makes people feel, how people read and under what
conditions, what drives people to read, and, conversely, what halts
the individual in the pursuit of the pleasures of reading. The
authors consider reading in all of its richness as they explore
readers' relationships with diverse textual and digital forms. This
edited volume is divided into three sections: Theory, Practice, and
Politics. The first provides insights into ways of seeing,
thinking, and conceptualizing the experience of reading. The second
features a variety of individual and social practices of reading.
The third explores the political and ethical aspects of the reading
experience, raising questions about the role that reading plays in
democracy and civic participation. With contributions from
multidisciplinary scholars from around the world, this book
provides provocative insights into what it means to be a reader
reading in and across various social, cultural, and political
contexts. Its unifying theme of the reader's experience of reading
is put into dialogue with theories, practices, and politics, making
this a rewarding read for graduate students, faculty, researchers,
and librarians working across a range of academic fields.
