Abstract

Public policy frameworks in the Andean Pacific region (Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Chile) view reading mediation as a fundamental process essential to fostering citizenship, strengthening social cohesion, and advancing democratic inclusion. Building on this foundation, reading is established as a pivotal transformative factor for historically excluded communities, such as LGBTIQ+ individuals, who face significant obstacles to accessing cultural resources and identity visibility due to pervasive systematic discrimination and violence in educational settings. Consequently, there is a critical knowledge gap regarding how reading mediation is applied in practice and its effective impact on promoting LGBTIQ+ identity within the region's socio-educational context.

This research aims to trace, analyze, and synthesize reading mediation practices, related bibliography, and research on reading and LGBTIQ+ identity from 2005 to 2025.

We employed a systematic literature review (SLR) following rigorous PRISMA guidelines, utilizing an exhaustive search strategy across multiple academic databases and regional repositories. The study is expected to identify and characterize the typology of existing Cultural Mediation Models and their principles of application. The results will provide the conceptual framework and empirical basis for designing inclusive cultural public policies and culturally responsive library practices, offering a direct and timely contribution to education and society studies in the Andean region.
