This book presents sixteen essays in the new literacy studies
tradition, written during the period 1985-2010. It covers a diverse
range of themes with a particular emphasis on topics of cultural,
political and historical interest. The collection includes both
previously published and unpublished works, and is organized in
four sections. Topics addressed in Part 1 include functional
literacy, the politics of literacy in Nicaragua during the
Sandinista period (1979-1990), the rise of the working class press
in Britain, and reader response and the teacher as meaning-maker.
Part 2 discusses critical literacy and active citizenship, literacy
and empowerment, language and the new capitalism, varying ways of
using computers in and out of school, and the way a low achieving
student challenges conventional notions of literacy failure. Part 3
addresses the new literacy studies and the study of new literacies,
the theory and practice of attention economics, and early
developments in the use of ratings within online communities and
social practices. The final part of the book takes up the theme of
researching new literacies, discusses practices of digital remix,
and provides a case study of becoming research literate within a
context of DIY media creation.
