This paper aims at reconsidering the learning activities taking place in a literacy practice context focusing on the concept of "intimate sphere". In the last years, relations of mutual support in life are taking a new turn, beyond family ties, toward the creation of a new intimate sphere. An analysis of literary practice from this point of view wields possibilities unseen by previous research. We aim to provide a new analytical standpoint for research in the field of literacy practice. According to our analysis, literacy practice appears to be an important support factor for the learner in everyday life. In a literacy practice context, intimate sphere is a "place to find an intimate other", a "place where to reconsider the value of one's life", a "place where to share feelings and experiences". Moreover, it appears that the intimate sphere which is created around literacy practice has the following four characteristics: 1. Through the right to literacy learning, it may be possible to meet the needs for friendship and solidarity, which can seldom be guaranteed by institutions. 2. Factors unrelated to practice like opportunities to chat or meet with friends may stimulate lasting participation of learners. 3. Literacy practice class seen as a "relatively safe space" implies freedom from its historical premises like norms or rules about the way practice has to be. 4. Under such point of view, literacy practice is endowed with the possibility of reform from the inside. This last point raises essential questions concerning the future of literacy practice and literacy learning research as well.
