REIS, Ricardo. A glance at the role of vision technologies in the construction of notions and practices of visual literacy among young people. Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2014, n.26, pp.83-102. ISSN 1645-7250.

This article is the result of a current research on “the role of school in the development and social highlighting of visual literacy” and is also a first analysis of the evidences collected. The methodology is based on the use of visual research methods and interpretation of the collected evidences, as well as on documental analysis of programs, curricula and educational projects. This article focuses on research procedures with youngsters from two Portuguese public schools. The advent of new technologies and the impact that they have in our lives led to a reassessment of the concept of literacy, leading to the acknowledgement of multiliteracies or new literacies. The notions, practices and strategies shown by the youngsters are analyzed and categorized in a straight relation between shared images and the discourses that made sense during the work sessions, and they are framed in six categories that correspond to six images sets. I intend to give clues to clarify the processes of analysis, interpretation, reinterpretation, appropriation, evaluation, and also creation, made by the young people during this research. I don`t intend to present conclusions but instead to suggest clues to reflection about which are the notions and practices in the visual literacy field that pass through young people discourses.

Palabras clave : visual literacy; technologies of vision; research with young people.
