written culture; literacy and development; literacy and democracy; new literacyAbstract
Since the ‘60s written culture began to be a widely discussed field, which included a range of disciplines situated in the work frame of social studies, such us Literary Theory, Anthropology, Sociolinguistics, Psychology, History, Linguistics, Semiotics and Discourse Analysis, among others. For this reason, this document is, necessarily, a selection of possible subjects, and in no way it aspires to exhaust all the conceptual discussions that surround written culture. It presents an overview of general information, a few examples, formulations and debates surrounding the definition of written culture, its consequences, its learning processes, without aspiring to comprehend the complete field of study. All selections are inevitably subjective, because choosing entails both including and excluding. Because of this, the intention of the author was not to present an «objective» text and argument selection, but to articulate those sources and ideas that she found most useful in building up her thoughts, her research and her teaching practice.

2) El texto original dice: «In Anglophone contexts it can be anything from «making reliable links between the letters of a written text and the sounds of speech» to being able to make readings of texts of the elite, which conform to the reading of the elite culture. The more that is gathered up in the meaning of the term, the less meaning it has».

4) El texto original dice: «Figured worlds are invoked, animated, contested, and enacted through artefacts, activities, and identities in practice. Cultural worlds are continuously figured in practice through the use of cultural artefacts [...]. These objects are constructed as a part of and in relation to recognized activities. Artefacts meaningful to the figured world of literacy might include blackboards or textbooks (in the classroom), reading assessment scales, road-signs or signing ceremonies (in public space). Such artefacts “open up” figured worlds; they are the means by which figured worlds are evoked, grown into individually and collectively».
5) LAMP identifica cinco niveles de alfabetización entre los individuos, cada uno de los cuales es indicativo de: Nivel 1: personas que tienen habilidades muy pobres y no pueden, por ejemplo, determinar la dosis correcta de medicina para administrar a un niño leyendo el prospecto de un producto. Nivel 2: quienes son capaces de interactuar con material de lectura sencillo y tareas no demasiado complejas, es decir que leen pero dan cuenta de ello de manera muy pobre. Pueden haber desarrollado habilidades de adaptación para manejar las demandas diarias de alfabetización pero se les dificulta enfrentar nuevos retos como, por ejemplo, la adquisición de habilidades para el trabajo. Nivel 3: personas que poseen un mínimo recomendable de competencias para adaptarse a las demandas de la vida diaria y el trabajo en una sociedad compleja. Este nivel de habilidad, en el que existe la capacidad de integrar varias fuentes de la información y de solucionar problemas más complicados, es requerido, generalmente, para terminar con éxito la educación media y media superior y para entrar a la universidad. Niveles 4 y 5: quienes demuestran fluidez en la habilidad de procesar información de alta complejidad. UNESCO INSTITUTE FOR STATISTICS (2005): Literacy Assessment and Monitoring Program (LAMP).
