Scientific presentations held by Mag. Dr. Doris Moser:
Was wir lesen wollen – was wir lesen sollen. Lesegruppen und ihre Lektüren (What we want to read – What we should read. Reading groups and their reading matter) on 12/10/2015 at the Jour fixe Bildungstheorie | Bildungspraxis at the Institute of Science and Art in Vienna. „The Tin Drum (German: Die Blechtrommel) is to read.“ Reading groups and the canon. What have been the literary salons for the 18th century and the reading galleries for the 19th century are today’s reading groups and literature circles: readers, who are talking about their reading matters and reading experiences with like-minded people. Reading groups are usually a self-organized form of cultural participation, in which the individual analysis of literary texts (comprehension, contextualizing, judging, etc.) is transported into a social context and is therefore transformed into another reading and knowledge generating process. A crucial role is the analysis of norms and values, how they are represented for example in the literary canon, which is transported by education or in medial transported book reviews. This presentation shows first results of an ongoing FWF scientific research project of literary follow-up communication in reading groups. Link to the conference’s website
