Abstract:

In Brazil, studies and practices around the concept of health literacy are recent and linked to the application of internationally validated instruments for measuring skills and competencies in different population groups. In these perspectives, a more conservative emphasis on the adoption of health literacy practices can be observed. This article explores possibilities for a Brazilian model of Health Literacy, taking into account the accumulation of the Brazilian community in Public Health in Health Promotion, Popular Education and Educommunication by tracing and articulating timelines of these four areas of knowledge and practices. Based on the weaving of these articulations, it seeks to highlight the main historical, academic and political milestones, national and international, of each of these areas, within a given period (1970-2023), against the backdrop of four political conjunctures: “military governments”, “redemocratization and neoliberalism”, “progressive governments” and “conservatism”. Based on the identification of these important national and international milestones and the confluences between the fields of Health Promotion, Popular Education in Health and Educommunication, we point out the possibility of a Brazilian model for the promotion of health literacy that breaks with the normative and directive perspective of Health Literacy.
