Letramentos contemporâneos: a errática expansão das formas de reprodução e transformação social na era da globalização recente.

Abstract

This paper focus on contemporary literacy practices and their effects on the construction of knowledge and social life. It’s a theoretical discussion on how the expansion of literacy practices, which come from different enunciation loci, undermines the hegemonic models for the production of knowledge and subjectivities legitimized by modernity. Based on recent bibliographic research about contemporary ways of production of meaning, we have observed that the subversive usage of new information and communication technologies and contiguous literacy practices have fostered different forms of activism in which identity performances of gender, social class, race and sexuality intertwine. Based on this phenomenon, we argue that intersectionality impregnates political agendas that embrace, at the same time, singular and collective demands.
