Abstract

MONCADA PATINO, José Daniel. Balance and predominant perspectives in the history of written culture: an approach. Palabra clave [online]. 2014, vol.3, n.2, pp.102-118. ISSN 1853-9912.

This article reflects about the authors that are and will be paradigms in the historical studies about written culture. However, this article doesn't pretend to do an extensive analysis about them or their works. Therefore, the interest is to emphasize on the theorical and methodological perspectives of some of them, which are predominant in the new studies about written culture. Studies that show the complexity of the written culture as research matter are a mandatory and necessary homework to historians, literates, sociologists, anthropologists, librarians, among others, which initiated the study about this topic in Latin American context and whose monographic works have started a new historical stream in the region.

Keywords : Written culture; History of writing; History of reading; History of books.
