What is a 'contemporary' understanding of literacy practices? How can
'literacy' be explained and situated? This book addresses literacy
practices research, understanding it as both material and spatial,
based in homes and communities, as well as in formal educational
settings. It addresses a need to update the work done on theoretical
literacy models, with the last major paradigms such as critical
literacies and multiliteracies developed a decade ago. Kate Pahl draws
on case studies to highlight experiences alternate from the
traditional representations of literacy. She argues that the
affordances of home and familiar spaces offer fertile ground for
meaning-making. These resultant literacies are multimodal and linked
to space, place and community. An important evaluative resource, this
book details a range of methodologies for further researching
literacy, describing ethnographic, visual, participatory and
ecological approaches, together with connective ethnographies. This
volume will appeal to academics and professions in literacy studies
and language and education.
