"Shining the spotlight on everyday readers of the 21st century, Beth Driscoll explores how contemporary readers of Anglophone fiction interact with consumer publishing and the book industry. The product of 16 years of qualitative research into readers and reading culture, this book examines reading through three dimensions--aesthetic conduct, moral conduct, and self-care--to probe at how readers intertwine private and social behaviors, and both reinforce and oppose the structures of capitalism. Analyzing reading as a post-digital practice that is a synthesis of both print and digital modes and on-and offline behaviors, Driscoll presents a methodology for studying readers that connects sociology, book history, literary studies and actor-network theory. Also working to advance earlier studies that focused on readers' face-to-face practices, What Readers Do digs into book clubs, reader involvement with broadcast media, such as via Oprah's Book Club, and posting pictures of books on social media"--

De prime abord, étudier le genre théâtral sous l'angle de la lecture semble contredire l'essence même d'un art par définition tourné vers la scène. Pourtant la forme que revêt le texte dramatique aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles témoigne de l'importance cruciale de ce mode de réception et de la valeur intrinsèque qui lui est accordée.La présence d'un riche appareil paratextuel, mais aussi les nombreux plaidoyers qu'entonnent dramaturges et théoriciens pour défendre les vertus de la lecture, considérée ou non dans ses rapports avec une représentation possible ou réelle, confèrent une pleine légitimité au geste lectorial.À partir de l'étude de témoignages, de commentaires ou de la manière même dont la pièce imprimée s'offre au regard du lecteur, les contributions ici réunies analysent donc les modalités ainsi que les enjeux de la lecture du théâtre telle qu'elle se pratiquait et se concevait à l'échelle d'un cabinet, d'une salle de classe ou d'un salon mondain.
