The studies included in this book examine quotidien acts of writing
and their significance in a textually-mediated world. We live in a
textually-mediated world where writing is central to society, its
cultural practices and institutions. Writing has been the subject
of much research but it is usually highly visible and valued texts
that are studied - the work of novelists, poets and scholars. The
studies included in this book examine every day acts of writing and
their significance. Ordinary quotidian writing may be viewed as
mundane and routine, but it is central to how societies operate and
the ways individuals relate to each other and to institutions.
Examples discussed in the book including writing in areas such as
farming, photo-sharing, childcare work and health care. The
chapters are united in their approach to examining this writing as
cultural practice. The book also brings together two important
traditions of this type of study: the Anglophone and Francophone.
The work of French scholars in this field is made accessible for
the first time to the Anglophone world. The insights and research
in this collection will appeal to all linguists, anthropologists,
sociolinguistics and cultural theorists.
