Abstract
This study discusses the use of reading as an instrument for the appropriation of knowledge and for critical reflections from the epistemological viewpoint of Information Science. The authors investigate how the act of reading, when viewed from the perspective of the ecology of literacy diversity, can contribute to confronting and resisting the mechanisms of oppression and discrimination manifested in digital networks. The theoretical approach adopted in this paper finds inspiration in the works of Paulo Freire and Nicolas Roubakine on the acts of reading as a mode of interaction between individuals and their environments. Ultimately, this research infers that the knowledge acquired through reading, as well as the critical reflections provoked by it, may be employed to change how individuals perceive, connect and act upon their social world.
