CZYZEWSKI, Analice  and  GALUCH, Maria Terezinha Bellanda. Changes in the concept of literacy and the formation crisis. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.47, pp.123-139. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v23i47.1113.

Current paper discusses the schooling and literacy process within the implementation context of public policies in Brazil since the 1990s and the transformations in the organization of labor and its relationship with education and the new way to conceive the literacy process. The text comprises an analysis on the formation crisis. Literacy is a complex and variegated process. It proposes the teaching of writing as a condition and starting point to access and understand knowledge registered in written texts. The above does not mean forfeiting other extralinguistic objects for the appropriation of culture and broadening on comprehension and use of language in other social and cultural contexts. On the contrary, it highlights the consolidation of literacy and the development of the capacity to understand society within the issues that immediate conditions deny through the simplification of its complexity. The option for the Critical Theory of Society is thus underscored to guide analyses based on the context of the globalization of capital and the implementation of educational public policies that lead towards a formation which is opposed to the development of autonomy.

Keywords : literacy; public policies; Critical Theory; formation.
