This paper reflects on social representations about reading and its practice from a discursive perspective. Considering the socio-historical nature of reading, this study focuses on the relationship between reading and stereotypes and the consequences that this relationship poses for the naturalization of certain views. This naturalization does not consider the dynamic characteristic of social life and the participation of human beings as unique subjects who move between the new and the different, resignifying what has already been said arising out of its subjectivity and the inter-subjective relations within it. Stereotypes, understood as cultural schemas constituting an overall perception which is by no means immutable, play an important role in the reading process, since the power of stereotype for evoking has to do with the previous knowledge the reader has of his/her surroundings and his/her capacity to perceive references which are universal.
