Literacy Practices in Transition explores the connections between
local, situated literacy practices and global processes of mobility
in the geographical space of the Nordic countries, an example of
contemporary mobile societies. The detailed empirical analyses show
how these connections affect individuals, practices and policies;
how the global and local meet in discourses and practices and how
people need to (re)negotiate their way in the complex and messy
spaces in which they move. The volume challenges current trends in
the global standardization of language and literacy education.
Instead, it promotes the idea of literacy as a multiple,
multilingual, multimodal and constantly contestable and negotiable
phenomenon, which calls for the development of language and
literacy education that is sensitive to the needs and experiences
of the individual actors.
