BOOKS AND READING – THE MIGRATION OF SYMBOLS FROM THE SOCIAL TOWARDS LITERATURE. CASE STUDY – ENIGMA OTILIEI

Summary/Abstract: The present work focuses on analysing the reader and the reading habits, both in general (readers’ different stages and ages, purpose of reading, preferred texts) and in particular (study case on a famous Romanian novel called ,,Enigma Otiliei”). The first part is a theoretical overview of the various aims of reading and how these change over time, whereas the second part is a thorough depiction of the reading profiles of the characters in the novel. The analysis focuses on the connections between literature and society and how certain social conditions determine the choice of books one reads. Readers’ choices in terms of literature are under the influence of their religious, political, social and economical status. The study case will show how Romanian society, at the dawn of the 20th century, was under the strong influence of the French culture and how reading was one of the main areas of interest.
