The notion of what constitutes literacy has shifted over time,
from the de-coding of words where it is placed in the realm of an
individual, cognitive skill to multiple literacies in the 21st
century. This volume makes a timely contribution to our
understanding of literacy as a multi-faceted, complexly situated
activity. The contributing authors represent a wide variety of
theoretical and research perspectives cover literacy in various
forms including transformative literacy, academic literacies and
digital literacy. Each chapter provides the reader with a fresh
perspective into a different site for literate behaviour,
approaches, design and relationships. Presented are illustrations
of ways in which scholars are beginning to respond to the challenge
and also underscore the viability of the concept of literacy for
specific purposes.
Throughout the book contributors argue that literacy curriculum
needs to evolve from its current one-dimensional/discrete
perspective if it is to cater for the demands of the 21st century
contemporary globalised society. This book will therefore interest
researchers and academics in the field."
