ABSTRACT
Based on the publication of the new Common National Curricular Basis of 2018 and the profusion of media and devices associated with the teaching of literature, this article intends to discuss the so-called attention crisis in modernity and how it affects the specific gesture requested by the contact with literary artifacts. In a few words, if literary reading, on the one hand, is traditionally linked to self-centering, concentration, silence, and other forms of introspection, the new BNCC, on the other hand, places literature in a territory of constant displacements and intermedia adaptations, introducing a continuous movement that inevitably produces consequences for the domain of attention and the reader’s perception and understanding.
