Description
Summary:Abstract This article has as object the written modality of language in everyday life of adult women in process of alphabetization, that live in Florianópolis – SC, inserted in labor market and participant of the Young and Adults Education Course – Ist Segment of Florianopolis City Hall. The study aims at understanding how the social uses of writing are characterized in the extrascholastic context of the women participant of the research. The following questions guided the research: How are the social uses of writing characterized in the extrascholastic context of adult women in process of alphabetization, participant of the research, inserted in a graphocentric society? Which literacy events do those women participate in, in their everyday lives? Theoretically, this work is based in studies of Street (1984 and 2003), Hamilton (2000), Kalman (2003), among others. This work consists of a case study of ethnographic kind developed with three women from the first segment of the Young and Adults Education of a school situated in the north of the island of Florianópolis/SC. The results show conceptual implications related to the restricted pragmatism and ontological dimension of subjectivity, aiming to explain the substantial division in regard to daily uses of writing by the participants of this study. Besides this, it seems nodal in this discussion the questions of avail­a­bi­lity and access to written materials.
