The recognition of the reader as a subject and of her creativity in meaning elaboration have been accompanied by important theoretical advances in the knowledge of real readers. Nowadays, we take an interest in subjective reading; in the way the reader engages with the text she reads, reconfiguring it in order to make it her own. Identification, refictionalization of the text and interreading, these phenomena affect the relationship to the text that is established during the reading process, and are equally important forms of involvement. The teaching literature draws from this awareness and uses individual texts as starting points for interpretation, allowing space for intersubjectivity within the class, which is, in turn, seen as an interpretative community.
