Usando la metáfora de Baumman se hace referencia a la oposición entre la cultura «sólida» predominante en los siglos XIX y XX con la cultura de la información «líquida» en la que la Web 2.0 tiene efectos muy relevantes sobre múltiples planos de nuestra cultura actual. En un primer momento, se examinan las principales características de la Web 2.0 definiéndola en relación a seis grandes dimensiones o planos que se entrecruzan y son simultáneos: la Web 2.0 como la biblioteca universal, como mercado global, como un puzzle gigante de hipertextos, como una plaza pública de comunicación e interacción social, como un territorio de expresión multimedia y audiovisual, y como múltiples entornos virtuales interactivos. En una segunda parte, se propone un modelo teórico de la alfabetización del ciudadano ante esta cultura digital que consta de dos ejes o planos básicos: el primero referido a los ámbitos o dimensiones de la alfabetización, y el segundo a las competencias de aprendizaje (instrumentales, cognitivo-intelectuales, sociocomunicacionales, emocionales y axiológicas) a desarrollar en los sujetos. Por último, se defiende que las nuevas alfabetizaciones son un derecho de los individuos y una condición necesaria para un desarrollo social y democrático de la sociedad en el siglo XXI.

metaphor, we contrast the ‘solid’ culture of the 19th and 20th centuries to the «liquid» information culture of the 21st
century in which Web 2.0 plays a fundamental role and affects many aspects of our culture. We first review the
main features of Web 2.0 through six major dimensions: as a universal library, global market, as a giant hypertext
jigsaw puzzle, a public space for social communities, a territory for multimedia and audiovisual expression, and as a
space for multiple virtual interactive environments. In the second part, we propose an integrated theoretical model
of literacy for the citizen. This model is based on two pillars: the areas or dimensions of literacy, and the
competences (instrumental, cognitive-intellectual, socio-communicative, emotional and axiological) to be developed
in citizens. Finally we contend that the new literacies amount to a civic right and a necessary condition for social
development and a more democratic society in the 21st century.
