Abstract

Through literature review and empirical data analysis, we seek to point out elements to recognize the cultural coercive aspect concerning the printed book and reading, within a community of readers. Theories about symbolic construction have been coupled with the observation of a sample of first-year college students. This initial effort did not seek conclusive results, but the delimitation of a space for future in-depth research.
