“…Early literacy theorists treated texts as fixed, essential meaning and literacy as an inherent, universal trait that structures thought, cognition and thus behavior in certain ways; however, more recent researchers have viewed literacy as a socially-and culturally-situated practice (Havelock, 1976;Goody, 1977;Ong, 1986;Street, 1993). Although it is unreasonable to suggest that print literacy has no effect on cognitive abilities and capacities -just as it would be strange to suggest that violent videogames have no effect on a player's mind -its effects are highly dependent upon the reader's cultural models and social literacy practices.…”

“…To expand the idea into the most recent society, the sign can also include "media literacy" (Kubey, 2000), such as hypertext, web-related signs and even computer languages. Similarly, Ong (1986) in his "Writing Is a Technology That Restructures Thought" article presents the parallels between writing and the most important modern technology-the computer-based on Plato's condemnation of writing in the Phaedrus. Hence, it is not surprising that some scholars have started to advocate that learning a "new literacy" is essential for students and teachers today.…”

“…É, assim, um momento privilegiado para, na ocasião mesma em que essas novas práticas de leitura e de escrita estão sendo introduzidas, captar o estado ou condição que estão instituindo: um momento privilegiado para identificar se as práticas de leitura e de escrita digitais, o letramento na cibercultura, conduzem a um estado ou condição diferente daquele a que conduzem as práticas de leitura e de escrita quirográficas e tipográficas, 4 o letramento na cultura do papel. Uma compreensão mais clara deste último pode advir de seu confronto e contraste com o primeiro, replicando, em sentido inverso, Ong (1986), quando busca compreender o letramento pela via de seu confronto e contraste com a cultura oral.…”

“…Disponível em <http://www.cedes.unicamp.br> Da oralidade à escrita Ong (1986) enfatiza a dificuldade que temos, as mentes letradas, de entender a oralidade primária, 5 porque a tecnologia da escrita está tão profundamente internalizada em nós que nos tornamos incapazes de separá-la de nós mesmos, e assim não conseguimos perceber sua presença e influência -não temos consciência da natureza do fenômeno do letramento, temos dificuldade de captar as características do estado ou condição de ser "letrado", porque vivemos imersos nele. Para vencer essa dificuldade, Ong procura compreender o letramento na cultura do papel pela identificação das diferenças entre sociedades ágrafas e sociedades letradas, confrontando o mundo da oralidade primária com o mundo letrado.…”
