We focused our discussion in literacy practices constructed on language workshops, assumed as necessary for the teacher formation, the existence of a pedagogical context that allows developing the appropriate teaching action. These workshops aimed at creating a space of constant reflection and action. The corpus is composed of letters written by teachers in formation workshops and interviews emphasizing questions of literacy, schooling, memories and reading and writing practices. These teachers make use of literacy practices related to the plots which they belong to. This research is informed mainly by studies that discuss the Literacy (Street, 1984, 1995; Barton, 1998; Freire, 1978, 1980, 1990, 1996), focusing its political character and of inclusion to the literate world, the Social Representations (Moscovici, 1978) and the studies on genre as a discoursive practice (Fairclough, 2001). Methodologically, this research is of critical ethnographic nature (Cameron, 1992). The letters are disclosed as identity practices - pictures of life histories of the teachers. The analyses of the interviews, in turn, show the literacy multifaceted character, evidencing innumerable views on the phenomenon / Este trabalho tem como objeto de estudo as representa??es que os professores t?m sobre letramento e escolariza??o, bem como suas mem?rias e pr?ticas de leitura e escrita no processo de forma??o do professor em assentamentos rurais do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte. Focalizamos nossa discuss?o nas pr?ticas de letramento constru?das em oficinas de linguagem, pressupondo como necess?ria para a forma??o do professor a exist?ncia de um contexto pedag?gico que permita desenvolver a pr?pria a??o docente. Essas oficinas objetivaram criar um espa?o de constante reflex?o e a??o. O corpus ? constitu?do por cartas escritas por professores em oficinas de forma??o e oito entrevistas versando sobre quest?es de letramento, escolariza??o, mem?rias e pr?ticas de leitura e escrita. Esses professores fazem uso de pr?ticas de letramento relacionadas aos assentamentos aos quais pertencem. Esta pesquisa ? informada, principalmente, por estudos que discutem o Letramento (Street, 1984, 1995; Barton, 1998; Freire, 1978, 1987, 1995), focalizando seu car?ter pol?tico e de inclus?o ao mundo letrado, as Representa??es Sociais (Moscovici, 1978) e os estudos sobre g?nero como uma pr?tica discursiva (Fairclough, 2001). Metodologicamente, esta pesquisa ? de natureza etnogr?fica cr?tica (Cameron,1992). As cartas manifestam-se como pr?ticas identit?rias retratos das hist?rias de vida dos professores. As an?lises das entrevistas, por sua vez, apontam para o car?ter multifacetado do letramento, evidenciando in?meras vis?es sobre o fen?meno
