Abstract

It is intended to discuss the conceptions of “adolescence” and “youth”, in addition to the behavioral changes that occurred with the advent of information technologies and how they transformed and may still transform the formation of literary readers, since the growing expansion of these technologies has led to a more immediatist behavior on the part of readers. What are the inherent characteristics of the literary text for it to be classified as “youth literature” and what are the themes addressed by this type of text? Consequently, it is necessary to question the formation of the literary reader and the role of educators in this world permeated with virtual universes, as well as the differences between what is conceived as “information” and what is understood as “knowledge”.
