In this article we propose the study of some visual representations of books and of the reading artists and graph- ics invite readers and public to perform.

This paper proposes a description of some representation based on the model of the so called conjectural paradigm, questioning the chosen examples because of their being Imagines Agentes of books and readers. The idea is to con- figurate the representations of social imaginary about books and reading in an era when, facing new technologies of information and communication, we debate their future and the future of the new relations we establish with reading, offered by these technologies. The prism through which we observed the representations of books and reading offers different perspectives: the book as a physical object or as a mental space; the evocated book; the book as a travel companion, among others. Our survey tries to exemplify and map some of the elements that turns these representations interesting, that made them object of interest, in order to offer elements for a history and a sociol- ogy of imaginary on books and readers.

Abstract
In this article we propose the study of some visual representations of books and of the reading artists and graph- ics invite readers and public to perform. To achieve that, we will apply a methodology rooted in Cultural History, aiming to design a topography of interactions between the book as an object e the act of reading present in social imaginary, through long lasting signs e changes in this interaction among representations selected for this study. This paper proposes a description of some representation based on the model of the so called conjectural paradigm, questioning the chosen examples because of their being Imagines Agentes of books and readers. The idea is to con- figurate the representations of social imaginary about books and reading in an era when, facing new technologies of information and communication, we debate their future and the future of the new relations we establish with reading, offered by these technologies. The prism through which we observed the representations of books and reading offers different perspectives: the book as a physical object or as a mental space; the evocated book; the book as a travel companion, among others. Our survey tries to exemplify and map some of the elements that turns these representations interesting, that made them object of interest, in order to offer elements for a history and a sociol- ogy of imaginary on books and readers.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
