Abstract

In Portugal, particularly after the dissemination of the results from the first national study on Portuguese adults' literacy levels (Benavente, 1996; OECD & Statistics Canada, 2000), which pointed to a severe literacy 'problem', successively reinforced, since 2000, by the regularly low performance of the Portuguese students in OECD-PISA, a particular perspective about the power and the personal and social effects of literacy, in a certain way, a popular theory about literacy (Carrington & Luke, 1997, p. 96) became prevalent in the public sphere.
