READING TO BE: READING IN FREIRE'S PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The text presents a reflection on reading in the light of Paulo Freire's conception, which infers it as a social practice capable of understanding the ideological interchanges of reality. In this sense, the objective is to understand the importance of reading with Paulo Freire's perspective as a parameter. To that end, its methodological construction was based on a bibliographical research, which investigated the theoretical-conceptual field of reading, drawing a reflection from Freire (1987; 1996; 2001; 2003). Thus, as a result, the interface between reading and Freire’s thought signals the need to understand the act of reading as a way of building an individual and collective consciousness about the plots that cross reality. Thus, the proposed intention is to provide the essential consideration of reading in the construction of a critical and instrumental human being for the ideological transformation of society.
