Abstract
Reading is active, rather than passive, using and developing the constructive or synthetic functions of the brain. As we read we construct our own model out of data from the text and from our experience of life, and we arrange it by means of inherited and learned structures or systems. Like writing, but to a lesser extent, reading distances us from the information (in the text), and we perceive and can study the gap between self and not-self. Thus we can learn the contingency of information and the parallel contingency of self or, to put it another way, the relatedness or relativity of persons. Texts and persons have to be validated or authenticated; we judge the new by the old, and we learn from the new. In pedagogical terms, we should teach reading by teaching non-reading, i.e., television, film, data-processing, word-processing. RÉSUMÉ La lecture est un acte actif et non passif qui utilise et développe les fonctions constructives ou synthétiques du cerveau. Quand nous lisons, nous bâtissons notre propre modèle à partir des données que contient le texte et à partir de l'expérience que nous avons de la vie et nous l'organisons au moyen des structures ou systèmes que nous avons acquis et appris. Tout comme l'écriture, mais dans une moindre mesure, la lecture nous écarte de l'information (dans le texte) et nous percevons et pouvons étudier l'écart entre le moi et le non moi. C'est ainsi que nous apprenons la contingence des données et la contingence parallèle du moi ou, en d'autres termes, la relativité des personnes. Les textes comme les personnes doivent être validés ou authentifiés; nous jugeons les nouveaux d'après les anciens et nous apprenons gr§ce aux nouveaux. Sur le plan pédagogique, nous devrions enseigner la lecture en enseignant la non lecture, c'est-à-dire la télévision, le cinéma, le traitement de l'information ou l'informatique.
