Indizi di salvezza nel social reading
Transformative readings
Traces of Salvation in Social Reading
Abstract [ita]
Il seguente contributo intende presentare una indagine esplorativa e in corso condotta sulla piattaforma di social reading Anobii. Ispirata da più strutturati studi e tenendo conto dell’alta femminilizzazione della lettura, la ricerca, guidata da un composito quadro teorico, persegue il tentativo di comprendere se è possibile rinvenire indizi di “salvezza” e appropriazioni di idee femministe generate dalla lettura di testi specifici tra i commenti lasciati dalla comunità di Anobii. Si vuole quindi condividere alcune considerazioni emerse dall’indagine, mossa dal tentativo generale di cogliere come la lettura possa sostenere una traiettoria di sviluppo personale, a tratti eversiva e di trasgressione dalle norme di genere socialmente imposte mostrando quanto tale pratica culturale, lungi dall’essere confinata in una dimensione astratta e residuale dell’esistenza, possa radicarsi nella concretezza delle traiettorie biografiche determinandone talvolta gli scarti e i punti di svolta.
Abstract [eng]
The following contribution intends to present an explorative and ongoing study conducted on the social reading platform Anobii. Inspired by more structured analyses and considering the high feminisation of reading, the research, guided by a composite theoretical framework, pursues the attempt to understand whether it is possible to find clues of “salvation” and appropriation of feminist ideas generated by the reading of specific texts among the comments left by the Anobii community. It is so intended to share some of the considerations that emerged from the research, driven by the general attempt to understand how reading can support a trajectory of personal development, at times subversive and transgressive of socially imposed gender norms, showing how such a cultural practice, far from being confined to an abstract and residual dimension of existence, can take root in the concreteness of biographical trajectories, sometimes determining their deviations and turning points.
