Is literature of political use, and if yes, how might this use be defined? Reading for Democracy addresses this question in a series of essays, with topics ranging from reading as a political practice to literature as critical infrastructure, from the public sphere as a space of appearance to the art of the essay in the digital age. At its core is an understanding of literature as a social practice – of literary texts as shape-shifting agents in a dynamic web of relations, created through literature’s linking and bonding capacities.
