This research addresses the interdiscursive dialogicity of the ‘Letter to readers,’ written by Paulo Freire and published as a ‘presentation’ for his book Literacy: reading the world, reading the word. This material shows the educator's handwriting and was digitally made available by the platform that bears his name on the web. Under the methodology of qualitative research, of a bibliographical and documentary nature, the investigation analyzes the linguistic-discursive resources used by Freire to address his readership through epistolary discourse. To this end, we draw on Marcuschi (2008) and Seara (1998), regarding the discursive genre ‘letter;’ Bakhtin (1997[1979]) and Volóchinov (2018[1929]) on interdiscursive dialogism; Bhatia (1997, 2010) on interdiscursivity in professional discursive practices; and Freire (1996) and Gadotti (1996) in relation to Freire’s writing. With this, we can see the dialogical nature of the letter, present in its textual and interdiscursive fabric, immortalized as digital heritage, in which is inscribed the persuasive and dialectical intention of this Brazilian thinker in favor of an education that liberates minds and men.
