Politische Partizipation aus der Sicht funktionaler Analphabet/inn/en

People with low literacy skills are often experiencing difficulties to manage their everyday life. For example, filling out forms, correspondence or banking may pose huge challenges. But what about the political participation of functional illiterates in a society which is dominated by the use of literacy? The following article focuses on how participants of literacy classes use their possibilities of contribution. These assumptions are based on first results of the qualitative research project „Interdependencies of literacy skills and life management” (Supervision: Prof. Dr. Sandra Deneke).
