Beskrivning
The rise of New Literacy Studies and the shift from studying reading and writing as a technical process to examining situated literacies—what people do with literacy in particular social situations—has focused attention toward understanding the connections between reading and writing practices and the broader social goals and cultural practices these literacy practices help to shape. This collection brings together situated research studies of literacy across a range of specific contexts, covering everyday, educational, and workplace domains. Its contribution is to provide, through an empirical framework, a larger cumulative understanding of literacy across diverse contexts.

Recensioner i media

With an exemplary mix of senior and junior scholars and of people from Education and Composition Studies, this book breathes new life into the New Literacy Studies. One of the best collections of work on sociocultural and experimentally-situated approaches to literacy to have appeared in a long while.James Paul GeeMary Lou Fulton Presidential Professor of Literacy Studies and Regents’ ProfessorArizona State University"Throughout this collection, the reader sees the editors’ point about the value of studying how people use literacy. These subjects are easy to visualize and bring to life how literacy practices impact the individual and how each individual’s literacy choices contribute to the evolution of culture in the 21st century." – Laurie Shirley Esposito
