Reading on the internet: is online reading similar to comic reading?
Journal Title: E-methodology - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue
Abstract
The Internet penetration sparked off new debates about reading literacy. Agreeing with those who take the attitude that surfing on the Internet is also a type of reading, the following question is raised: how do we read in an online space? „Reading comics [...] can be compared mostly to the active user activity of the Internet” (Dunai, 2007). Taking this idea into consideration, my ongoing research is a critical comparative analysis of comic reading and digital reading, based on the contemporary theories of digital literacy (Hillesund, 2010; Dyson, & Kipping 1998; Sivak, 2003; Cull, 2011; Bolter, 2001) and comic reading (Koós, 2004; Kovács, 2009; Maksa, 2007). In my paper, I will argue that reading on the Internet can be similar to comic reading. My aim is to confirm this hypothesis in order to get a better understanding of digital literacy and online reading, and also to make a step forward in the theories of developing digital reading literacy skills.
