Abstract

What do European writers, such as Colón, Thevet and de Léry mean, when they speak about the activity of reading to the New World inhabitants? Is it a question of a metaphor, of an aesthetic category, or must we take it seriously as a literal description of a decoding, of a deciphering act? Then, the purpose is to recover some of the sonority of the word "reading" and other related words within the historical and cultural context of the American Continent in the European Renaissance period.
