Languages and Literacies as Mobile and Placed Resources explores
how languages and literacies are implicated in the complex
relationship between place and mobility. It is a book that
represents the next wave in literacy studies in which theories of
mobility, networking and globalisation have emerged to account for
the dynamic landscape of globally circulating communication
resources. Authors in this volume take up a more complex way of
thinking about resources, applying it to consider languages and
literacies as assemblages or as parts of assemblages that are
involved in learning, teaching and meaning-making. The book
addresses forms of text and mobility that arise in contexts outside
of formal education including marketing, charity, journalism,
community organisation and parenting. It also addresses school
contexts and higher education settings. Key topics explored
include: Consequences of workplace confinement Literacies as placed
resources in the context of rural communities Literacy,
sustainability and landscapes for learning Documenting networked
knowledge on tablets Mobilising literacy policy through resources
Global Englishes as placed resources Languages as contextualised
resources Shaping a digital academic writing resource in a
transcultural space With an international range of carefully chosen
contributors, this book is a must read text for all academics
interested in semiotics and literacy studies.
