MARTINEZ CARRIZALES, Leonardo  y  MARTINEZ LUNA, Esther. Reading what is unreadable: On the procedures of reading as basis of the literary criticism. Acta poét [online]. 2012, vol.33, n.1, pp.117-136. ISSN 2448-735X.

This article proposes to rethink the idea that literary text is a closed and self-sufficient system by virtue of the highly formalized systems that appear in its configuration. This notion has been sanctioned theoretically and institutionally thanks to the existence of literary studies as a university discipline. The processes of critical reading authorized by the university institution of literary studies fully assume the systematic character of recognized codes in the construction of the literary text. On the other hand, in these pages one wishes to propose that literary text is one more constituent of meaning that is radically integrated with other constituent classes - linguistic and non-linguistic, verbal and non-verbal, spoken and unspoken. The idea of radical integration of literary text in a complex process of human communication has developed from a base of the theoretical guidelines of the English linguist Roy Harris, and, in the opinion of this article, would oblige every critical reader to recognize the circumstantial and historical nature of the acts of communication that are integrated in the writing and in the reading of the text.

Palabras llave : reading; literary criticism; contextualization; integrationist linguistics.
