Paying attention to subtext is a crucial component of literacy.
However, the concept of peritextual analysis takes such examination
much further, teaching readers how to evaluate information and
sources using elements that precede or follow the body of the text.
A work's Preface, Afterword, index, dust jacket, promotional
blurbs, and bibliography are only some of the elements that can be
used to help readers connect with and understand the main text.
Speaking directly to librarians and educators working with K-16
students, this important book outlines the Peritextual Literacy
Framework and explains its unique utility as a teaching and
thinking tool; defines components such as production elements,
promotional elements, navigational elements, intratextual elements,
supplemental elements, and documentary elements, offering examples
drawn from both print and non-print texts; presents several case
studies showing peritextual analysis in action, ranging from young
adult nonfiction in the classroom to strengthening students' visual
literacy skills by critically comparing and contrasting two graphic
novel covers; and examines how the functions of peritext and the
Peritextual Literacy Framework exist within online news articles,
film and media packaging, and other non-print texts. The creative
and engaging approaches to providing, highlighting, and teaching
the peritext of a text showcased in this collection will help
students learn how to judge a book by its cover ... and everything
else.
