This chapter analyses conceptual and methodological shifts in information literacy research in learning scenarios and some emerging issues in the Latin American context. It points to the importance of transcending paradigmatic dichotomies, and overcoming dualistic views of social phenomena (competent vs incompetent; native vs immigrant; subject vs object); and asking new questions to enrich our understanding of the cultural transitions that shape contemporary social practices. This approach has led to a shift in research which has distanced themselves from deterministic views of the subject and discusses cultural changes and the subjects' experiences.
