La promoción de la lectura y el trasvase cultural literario: una investigación en Enseñanza Secundaria Obligatoria basada en el tópico del amor

This article is an investigation conducted, within the framework of Spa- nish language and literature teaching, with the aim of promoting reading through the literary topic of love. To this aim, we have used three reference texts written in diffe- rent eras: Pyramus and Thisbe myth (Classical Antiquity), Romeo and Juliet (sixteenth cen- tury) and Something's Triggered (twenty-first century). Through the comparison of them, using a range of measuring instruments, we have tried to enhance the student's critical and reflective capacity when they under - take the act of read-ing. To accomplish this goal, we have used the several possibilities and suggestions offered by the reader in- tertext. The students were in the 4th E.S.O level at Amparo Sanz highschool, located in Albacete.
