Movies are filled with scenes of people of all ages, sexes, races,
and social classes reading and writing in widely varied contexts
and purposes. Yet these scenes go largely unnoticed, despite the
fact that these images recreate and reinforce pervasive concepts
and perceptions of literacy. This book addresses how everyday
literacy practices are represented in popular culture, specifically
in mainstream, widely-distributed contemporary movies. If we watch
films carefully for who reads and writes, in what settings, and for
what social goals, we can see a reflection of the dominant
functions and perceptions that shape our conceptions of literacy in
our culture. Such perceptions influence public and political
debates about literacy instruction, teachers' expectations of what
will happen in their classrooms, and student's ideas about what
reading and writing should be.
