Abstract

CANAVIRE, Vanina Belén. Scenes of reading and Cultural Industry: The case of self-help books. Comun. soc [online]. 2013, n.19, pp.41-60. ISSN 0188-252X.

In this article we tackle a genre of particular relevance in the global publishing market: the self-help literature. Taking place at a city of Argentina, and through analysis of representations, experiences, and practices of reading, we recover singular readings of the self-help books, finally revealing the plot that weaves with the system of cultural industries.

Keywords : Books, self-help; readers; cultural industry; consumption.
