ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination Revised (ACE-R) as a cognitive screening tool for older adults with low levels of schooling and healthy aging, MCI and dementia in Brazil. Methods: All participants underwent neurological and psychiatric examinations and were administered a validated version of ACE-R. Results: A total of 85 participants were evaluated; most were females (84.7%, n = 72). The post hoc analysis showed statistical differences in ACE-R total scores between older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and controls (p < 0.001) and in subitem scores including verbal fluency, language, visuospatial skills and attention (p < 0.001). The visual-spatial skills subitem was the most strongly correlated with schooling level (r = 0.509, p < 0.001), whereas late, immediate recall and recognition memory were not influenced by schooling. The ACE-R had the best diagnostic accuracy in discriminating between MCI and controls = 0.69 (

Por mucho tiempo, pero particularmente durante el siglo pasado, el alfabetismo y la lectura han sido objeto de interés por parte de la comunidad académica y de organismos internacionales. Esta situación ha puesto al descubierto la existencia de diferentes enfoques relacionados con la definición del alfabetismo y la lectura, especialmente tras reconocerse su influencia en el desarrollo socioeconómico y su vinculación con los derechos fundamentales de las personas. Este trabajo analiza el significado de los términos alfabetismo, lectura y otros relacionados; así como la forma en que han variado a lo largo de la historia como producto del desarrollo de la civilización; y señala que éstos no sólo son importantes en sí mismos sino también en tanto que su medición varia en función del concepto que se elija.For some time now, but particularly during the last century, literacy and reading have been objects of interest for the academic community and international agencies. This situation has brought into the open the existence of different approaches to the definition of literacy and reading, especially once their influence on socioeconomic development and its link with basic human rights have been recognized. This paper analyses the meaning of such terms as literacy and reading, as well as how these have changed throughout history as products of the development of civilization. It shows that these terms are not only important in themselves but also inasmuch as their measurement varies according to the definition chosen.

This research has as its theme and objective the establishment of identity of the illiterate subject by Época magazine, 2010. By observing that, in contemporary society, the media circulates discourses that deal with public policies for social inclusion of the subject illiterate, this work seeks to demonstrate how the magazine Época, 2010, by the exercise of biopower (de)constructs the identity of the subject illiterate Brazilian. Because of the media composing places of demonstrations of knowledge and powers that enable to mobilize the creation of the contemporary subject, it casts itself as surface emergency statements, statements that are subject to what can and what should be said in the irruption of their appearance. Our movement theoretical and analytical framework is based on Discourse Analysis of the French line, specifically in the studies of Michel Foucault. Appealed also to cultural studies to understand the constitution of identities in contemporary history and the processes of education and literacy, illiteracy, literacy, functional literacy in our society. The methodological frameworks are driven by key concepts: normalization, biopower, biopolitics, discipline, knowledge, power, truth, contradiction, file, function and expository statement. This theoretical approach has allowed us to build an archive of material broadcast media in 1971, 2003, 2009 and 2010, being presented as: a) print b) television media and c) film media. In the quest for verticality of the associated field, we observed that the discursive practices conflict erupted in the media point of view and conceive the subject illiterate. This contradiction is concentrated mainly in the legislative field, in science and in the political/social. The discourse mine in the contradiction which establishes a set of (re)signification in the subjectivity of the subject illiterate, visible in discursive media. In the last century these are governed by two sets of operating mechanisms of biopower, biopolitics and disciplines. In these procedures, we used the expectation of this work contribute to the performance of teachers, especially professionals of literature, pedagogy and literacy, as guiding paths that deconstruct evidence senses put in the history of education. Nevertheless, we also hope to collaborate on improving the practice of reading imagery, to instigate the production professionals to make use visual teaching in schools. Esta pesquisa tem como temática e como objetivo a constituição identitária do sujeito analfabeto pela revista Época, 2010. Por observarmos que, na contemporaneidade, a mídia circula discursos que versam sobre as políticas públicas de inclusão social do sujeito analfabeto, o trabalho busca demonstrar como a revista Época, 2010, pelo exercício do biopoder, (des)constrói a identidade do sujeito analfabeto brasileiro. Devido à mídia compor lugares de manifestações de saberes e poderes que possibilitam mobilizar a constituição de sujeitos na contemporaneidade, ela conjura-se como superfície de emergência de enunciados que se submetem ao que pode e ao que deve ser dito nos acasos de sua irrupção. Nosso movimento teórico-analítico fundamenta-se na Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, especificamente nos estudos de Michel Foucault. Recorremos, ainda, aos estudos culturais para compreendermos a constituição de identidades na contemporaneidade e na história da educação e dos processos de alfabetização, analfabetismo, alfabetismo, alfabetização funcional em nossa sociedade. Os quadros metodológicos são guiados pelos conceitos-chave: norma/normação/normalização, biopoder, biopolítica, disciplina, saber, poder, verdade, contradição, arquivo, enunciado e função enunciativa. Este aporte teórico permitiu-nos formar um arquivo de materialidades midiáticas veiculadas em 1971; 2003; 2008; 2009 e 2010, sendo apresentadas como: a) mídia impressa; b) mídia televisiva e c) mídia cinematográfica. Na busca pela verticalidade do campo associado, observamos que as práticas discursivas midiáticas irrompem na contradição no modo de ver e conceber o sujeito analfabeto. Esta contradição concentra-se, principalmente, no campo legislativo, no campo científico e no campo político/social. Dessa forma, o discurso mina-se na contradição que instaura um jogo de (re)significações na subjetivação do sujeito analfabeto, visível em práticas discursivas midiáticas. Estas, no último século, são regidas por dois conjuntos de mecanismos de funcionamento do biopoder, as disciplinas e a biopolítica. Nestes trâmites, servimo-nos da expectativa deste trabalho contribuir na atuação de professores, especialmente profissionais de Letras, Pedagogia e alfabetizadores, na medida em que norteia caminhos que desconstroem evidências de sentidos postas na história da educação. Não obstante, esperamos também colaborar no aperfeiçoamento da prática de leitura imagética, ao instigar profissionais a recorrerem à produção visual na docência escolar. 152 f
