Summary: | During the last years, among us, the word literacy has been highly used, and
as for other labels, which circulate in our society, it doesnt seem that we have
enough knowledge to speak about it with the necessary confidence. Therefore,
with this text I intend to show how literacy is open not only to different
approaches but also to a plural reading as a result of the constant changes of
society. As it can be anticipated from the title, the literacy levels in several
domains that each one demonstrates correspond inevitably to a form of
personal identity. It happens, however, that this identity is neither definitive nor
can be assumed without an active participation. From each citizen it is
expected a permanent investment since it is a process in which he is
continually engaged; from the society to which he belongs it is expected the
enough openness to updating this particular narrative around personal identity
that more than another else can be characterised as being always
unaccomplished.
