What would a synthetic theory of Digital, Media and Information
Literacy (DMIL) look like? Radical Information Literacy presents,
for the first time, a theory of DMIL that synthesises the diversity
of perspectives and positions on DMIL, both in the classroom and
the workplace, and within the informal learning processes of
society. This title is based on original analysis of how decisions
are made about the relevance of information and the other resources
used in learning, showing how society has privileged objective
approaches (used in rule-based decision making) to the detriment of
subjective and intersubjective perspectives which promote
individual and community contexts. The book goes on to analyse the
academic and popular DMIL literature, showing how the field may
have been, consciously or unwittingly, complicit in the
objectification of learning and the disempowerment of individuals
and communities. Alternative ways of conceiving the subject are
then presented, towards a reversal of these trends.
Synthesises key theorists of digital, media and information
literacy and information behaviourIncludes the field of community
informatics Conducts a bibliometric analysis of a broad spectrum of
writings on digital, media and information literacy, analysing the
connections between them and the frames of DMIL within which they
are located"
