Abstract
The kind of first-person methods I advocate and stand for do not attempt to identify and isolate that which is particular but aims at isolating the generalizable in the individual practices. Thus, when I read online science materials, these appeal to the process of reading in general rather than to my individual reading and interpretation. In this chapter, I provide a demonstration of the method used for bringing out the culturally invariant aspects of reading, that is, those aspects that are shared among those who read the same kinds of texts.
