Trayectoria y análisis del concepto de cultura escrita

Abstract

This research aims to examine the evolutionary lines of the concept of written culture. It starts from the notions of paleography and literacy until reaching the current multidisciplinary vision open to approaches as diverse as those caused by historical changes in the definition of the reader and reading practices. An expansion of the concept of written culture is observed in the trajectory, motivated fundamentally by the incorporation of principles belonging to the communicative, linguistic and sociological disciplines, which forces conceptual rethinking around three principles: dialogism, performativity and activism. The concept of written culture is inserted, consequently, in the framework of interpretive communities according to the new multimodal languages that promote the hybrid cultural practices.
