Reading discussion group: Theory, working methods, and evaluation

The article presents the course programme of the reading-literary discussion group whi­ch I conducted together with Dr Veronika Rot Gabrovec as part of the Faculty of Active Wisdom at the University of Ljubljana during the summer semester of 2023. It outlines the theoretical foundations of this work, drawing on the so-called anthropology or eth­nography of reading, autoethnography, and certain principles of embodied cognition. It describes the working methods, the structure of individual sessions, and their effects. A significant part of the article discusses the responses and reflections of the five parti­cipating students, which may serve as a corrective in the development of guidelines for leading similar reading-discussion groups.
