| Summary: | The plural character of literacies, despite not being a novelty, has been increasingly recognized as contemporaneous. I query it from: a) the definition of literacies as social practices; b) the recovery of the opposition between autonomous and ideological literacies; and c) the inquiry about the empire of writing in the school and in the functioning of society as a whole. Then, I comment that the technological resources which were already available before the pandemic – and are unevenly used in society – came to be defined as the adequate tools to a new conception of school in “the post-pandemic times”. Finally, I intend to defend that literacies can be characterized by the delimitation of spaces for people and distances between them. I propose, thus, a criticism on the effect of literacies, claiming they can be forms of managing the space and the distances from the physical and social points of view.
