A internet representa uma importante ferramenta de comunicação pautada em interatividade, massividade, compartilhamento e velocidade. Essas potencialidades interativas instituíram uma nova dinâmica entre produtores e consumidores de conteúdos. A hipótese é que esse espaço de socialização de experiências literárias interfere diretamente no consumo e na relação que se estabelece entre o leitor e o livro, revelando novas práticas de leitura. Reflete também sobre a atuação do leitor que ao compartilhar suas impressões de leitura e permitir o monitoramento das suas atividades na plataforma desencadeia ações de mediação, reduzindo a atuação dos filtros tradicionais e interferindo diretamente na produção e no consumo dos artefatos culturais. A pequisa, de cunho qualitativo, recorre ao método Etnográfico, e divide-se em duas partes, análise das Listas dos "Mais Lidos" e dos 'Mais Lendo" e avaliação dos Perfis Leitores. Os resultados apontam que as mudanças mais significativas em relação as práticas de leitura estão associados ao protagonismo do leitor. A atuação do leitor na plataforma é múltipla, ele atua como leitor, mediador e crítico. É preciso considerar que o ciberespaço reconfigura papéis e desestrutura conceitos solidificados. Portanto, consideramos o protagonismo do leitor tende a aproximar o livro dos leitores, além de incentivar e estimular o gosto pela literatura. / Abstract: Reflects on the reading practices performed on the Skoob digital platform. The Internet represents an important communication tool based on interactivity, massiveness, sharing and speed. These interactive potentials have created a new dynamic between content producers and consumers. The hypothesis is that this space of socialization of literary experiences interferes directly in the consumption and the relationship that is established between the reader and the book, revealing new reading practices. It also reflects on the performance of the reader who, by sharing his reading impressions and allowing the monitoring of his activities on the platform, triggers mediation actions, reducing the performance of traditional filters and directly interfering with the production and consumption of cultural artifacts. The qualitative research is based on the Ethnographic method, and is divided into two parts, analysis of the "Most Read" and "More Reading" Lists and evaluation of the Reading Profiles. The results indicate that the most significant changes in reading practices are associated with the protagonism of the reader. The reader's performance on the platform is multiple, he acts as a reader, mediator and critic. One must consider that cyberspace reconfigures roles and deconstructs solidified concepts. Therefore, we consider the protagonism of the reader tends to approximate the book of the readers, besides encouraging and stimulating the taste for literature. / Doutor

The current research was a randomised two group (control and treatment) study that evaluated the effectiveness of an ACT-based self-help book for people with chronic pain. Over a 6-week period, 6 participants read the book and completed exercises from it with weekly telephone support while 8 others waited. Five of these others began the intervention after a 6-week control period. Participants completed pre- and post-intervention questionnaires for acceptance, values illness, quality of life, satisfaction with life, depression, anxiety and pain. Initial outcome data were collected for 8 control participants and 6 intervention participants. A total of 11 participants completed pre- and post-intervention measures. Participants' who read the book, rated the content of the book each week according to reading level and usefulness, and their comprehension of the content was also assessed. Original group data showed statistically significant improvement in acceptance and quality of life for those who completed the intervention. Once the data were pooled, statistically significant improvements in acceptance, quality of life, satisfaction with life, and values illness were found. In general, using the self-help book did not result in reduced pain, depression or anxiety, although for some individuals gains were made in these areas. Individual perceptions of the book components were varied but findings suggest that cognitive defusion and mindfulness were parts of the book that participants found hard. The current findings support the hypothesis that using the self-help book would add value to the lives of people who experience chronic pain. Thus, the book may be a useful tool for people who experience chronic pain.
