%0 Journal Article %T Senses of reading in libraries named alternative %A Gustavo Grandini Bastos %J Biblionline %D 2010 %I Universidade Federal da Para¨ªba %X In this work we mobilized the notion of reading the Discourse Analysis following the Frenchapproach to investigate how speechlization within libraries named alternatives and known asspaces for unconventional reading. Thus, we analyzed the subject-readers¡¯ speech, includedamong four libraries: Barca dos Livros de Santa Catarina, that leads reading through a boat;Becei de Parais¨®polis, located within a slum in S o Paulo; the mobile library Leitura deBarraco, scattered in a rural settlement of the Movimento dos Sem-Terra (MST) andBorrachalioteca de Sabar¨¢ in Minas Gerais. We note that these libraries are spoken as spacesthat break the stereotype of place that is silent, shut its readers and regulated by strict rulesand installing the image of a place that allows exchange of practices and meanings about actsof reading. %K Discourse Analysis %K Reading %K Alternative Libraries %U http://periodicos.ufpb.br/ojs2/index.php/biblio/article/viewFile/4900/3705
