La lettura come formazione della persona. Pagina scritta, orizzonti virtuali e connessioni testo immagine. Reading in the development of personality structure. Written pages, virtual horizons, and text-image connections

The written page is a place of exploration and
growth of personality, witness of life
experiences. A close relationship with narration
as well as with stories and their ultimate goal
cannot be ignored in these difficult, swiftly
passing by years we are experiencing. This
essay, starting from a premise on the complex
relationships between culture and new media,
highlights the need to identify strategies aiming
at re-evaluating the role of Reading in the
development of personality structure in young
people as well as in adults. This in the hope that
contemporary society will be able to recover a
deep, mature and better conscious relationship
wi th the wr i t ten text , thus avoiding a
communicative homologation, getting more and
more distant from the concept of culture as
nourishment. In this regard, reading is
considered as a central training activity, and
interdisciplinary perspectives between written
texts and other forms of expression - such as
the illustration - capable of enriching and further
enhancing the educational spectrum, are
analyzed.
