This book takes on current perspectives on children s
relationships to literacy, media, childhood, markets and
transtionalism in converging global worlds. It introduces the idea
of multi-sited imaginaries to explain how children s media and
literacy performances shape and are shaped by shared visions of
communities that we collectively imagine, including play, media,
gender, family, school, or cultural worlds. It draws upon elements
of ethnographies of globalization, nexus analysis and performance
theories to examine the convergences of such imaginaries across
multiple sites: early childhood and elementary classrooms and
communities in Puerto Rico and the Midwest United States. In this
work we attempt to understand that the local moment of engagement
within play, dramatic experiences, and literacies is not a given
but is always emerging from and within the multiple localities
children navigate and the histories, possibilities and challenges
they bring to the creative moment."
