MappingMultiple Literaciesbrings together the latest theory and
research in the fields of literacy studyand European philosophy,
Multiple Literacies Theory (MLT) and the philosophicalwork of
Gilles Deleuze. It frames the process of becoming literate as a
fluidprocess involving multiple modes of presentation, and explains
these processesin terms of making maps of our social lives and ways
of doing things together.For Deleuze, language acquisition is a
social activityof which we are a part, but only one partamongst
many others..Masny and Cole draw on Deleuze's thinking to expand
the repertoires of literacyresearch and understanding. They outline
how we can understand literacy as asocial activity and map the ways
in which becoming literate may take hold andtransform communities.
The chapters in this book weave together theory, dataand practice
to open up a creative new area of literacy studies and to
provokevigorous debate about the sociology of literacy.
