Stratégies de lecture et pédagogie: le cas de la "sagesse" dans le Télémaque

By a redefinition of the reading oriented approach as the author’s strategy to actualize one particular reading of his book, we recognized the model reader in Fenelon’s Telemachus and defined the reasons why this book had been so important in pedagogy. We considered the “wisdom” as the focus of analyse. We demonstred that Fenelon used the narrative coherence to set up an internal tension as a stimulus of reading. By the co-occurrences and the forms of implicits, the author used the pragmatic coherence to create an external tension: he made the wisdom acquisition as a basic and necessary skill. So Fenelon made his book an essential tool to educate children: not only he adressed docile students but also he contributed by his book to form them.
