The multidimensionality of information literacy in a context of social vulnerability: narratives in focusAbstract

Objetive. To understand the multidimensionality of information literacy and the social vulnerability, identifying in the Luces para Aprender project (LPA) connections with technical, aesthetic, ethical and political dimensions of information literacy. Method. Narrative interview with people connected to Luces Para Aprender, a project created by Organization of IberoAmerican States (OEI) and data analysis, using the phenomenological search. Bibliographic study about information literacy and its dimensions, social vulnerability and similar subjects, a study that was made based on national and international data from electronic portal of CAPES, consulting also the BRAPCI, a database support that recovers data from Brazilian scientific magazines and the ENANCIB, as well as the annals from CBBD. Documental search obtained through available documents of OEI. Results. The OEI foments actions focused on responsibility and worry about the issues of information behavior, recognizing on these narratives connections between LPA and the development of information literacy in the technical, aesthetic, ethical and political dimensions, based on Vitorino and Piantola (2011). Conclusions. The access and the use of information are restricted for regions with no basic infrastructure, like electricity and internet access. However, when this obstacle is minimized, the opportunities that appear in the informational universe make difference in people's lives and also in vulnerable communities.
