Re-theorizing Literacy Practices

Moving beyond current theories on literacy practices this edited collection sheds new light on the complexities inherent to the social cultural and ideological contexts in which literacy practices are realized. Building on Brian V. Streetâs scholarship contributors discuss literacy as intrinsically social and ideological and examine how the theorizing of literacy practices has evolved in recognition of the diverse contexts in which written language is used. Breaking new intellectual and theoretical ground this book brings together leading literacy scholars to re-examine how educational and sociocultural contexts frame and define literacy events and practices. Drawing from the richness of Brian V. Streetâs work this volume offers insights into fractures tensions and developments in literacy for scholars students and researchers. . Language: English
