Abstract [en]
Introduction: This paper introduces an emerging area of research, critical studies of reading, that has been identified and developed by the authors.
Approach: Seven features of critical studies of reading research are introduced and the paper argues for how this type of research can shed new light on historical and current reading practices and reading activities. Examples of studies with such features within library and information science, as well as neighbouring disciplines are presented.
Conclusions: Future directions for critical studies of reading research are outlined, highlighting the possibilities, as well as the challenges for this emerging area of research.
