Reading and Intercultural Education: Demand of New Educational Practices (original) (raw)

This paper discusses fundamental questions about the formation of readers, focusing on the problem of teaching how to read and illiteracy and its sociocultural implications, but primarily the impact that reading may cause as a symbolic system in the construction of worldview and ownership of reality. In today's world it is impossible to think of reading and education without thinking deeply about interculturalism and plot that weaves around to (re) build human history, mainly in order to fix the situations that imply inequality, prejudice and racism. In this perspective we will assume and underline the speech of significant writers for these two topics, emphasizing the authors Bakhtin and Freire, linking them with other researchers also relevant to the study of Reading and Intercultural Education.
