Reading in audiovisual era: problems and opportunities

Abstract

We are living times "vhere healthy habits as the deep reading, the correct writing and the smart and intelligent debate are leaving of practice. Postmodern, technocratic societ)' and media is appropriating that prívate, introspective and reflective space that characterizes the true horno sapiens. That is why now scholars societ)' come talking about "horno videos" or "hamo cyber" and this societ)' as "light society" and not "of the vacuum" .
We are concerned of the decay of the word, the reading and their possibilities and the increase of media interests as the television so come at least in the last three decades, and not only in Peru but in other latitudes. We hope that these reflections of the man, the reading, the knowledge be of interest and give ímpetus to oew ones.
