Epistemologies in the introduction and development of written practices: identities at stake

This paper supposes that any work with facts of the world emerges from a reflection on knowledge, whether the latter is focused or dispersed, explicit or implicit. The paper conceives knowledge as a way of accessing the world and other persons, and it addresses here, in particular, the work with written practices. In order to show that reflection on knowledge has a vital role for the possible identities of subjects taking part in these practices, I set forth to illustrate, by using significant historical episodes, the introduction and development of writing in the lives of the Brazilian people.

本文提出，任何基于世界客观事实的研究成果均源于对知识的反思——无论该知识是集中抑或分散、显性抑或隐性。本文将知识视作认识世界与他人的路径，并在此特别聚焦于文字实践相关的研究议题。为论证知识反思对于参与此类实践的主体之身份建构具有关键作用，本文借助若干典型历史事件，阐述书写在巴西民众生活中的引入与发展历程。
