SOUZA, Solange da Silva; SILVA, Paulo Demetrio Pomares da  and  SOUZA, Nilo Carlos Pereira de. The Cupid and the reader: affectivity in the mediation of literary reading. LTP [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.74, pp.47-58.  Epub Aug 02, 2019. ISSN 2317-0972.

The present article, resulting from a bibliographic investigation, tries to contribute with reflections on a component that is present in many of the successful experiences that promote the transformative encounter with the literary reading: the affectivity, something that in our understanding often happens unnoticed like element participant of the process of constitution of the reader. Placing this discussion in the school educational context, we have as theoretical inspiration the founder of historical-cultural psychology, Lev Semyonovich Vigotski (1896 - 1934). To contribute to this argument, we invited Paulo Freire (1921 - 1997), the great Brazilian representative of the critical theory of education, to this “reading wheel”. Together with these important theorists, we propose to think about the place of the emotions in the formation of literary readers.

Keywords : Literary reading; formation of the literary reader; affectivity.
