Studying New Literacies
New literacies research offers valuable insights into young people's everyday literacy practices. Teachers can use the kinds of research outcomes reported here to build on new literacies in appropriate ways for academic purposes
Counternarratives: Cultural Studies and Critical Pedagogies in Postmodern Spaces
Conceptualizing and Researching “New Literacies”
References to “new literacies” have become increasingly common as use of digital technologies has grown within everyday routines, reflecting a growing sense that “literacy” can no longer be presumed to refer simply to interactions with conventional texts.

More than words: Chris Searle's approach to critical literacy as cultural action
This article discusses what seem to us to be some of the key features of Chris Searle's approach to language and literacy education within school classroom settings in England, as portrayed in his own writings and reflected in work done by his students and published in numerous compilations from Stepney Words (1971) to School of the World (1994). We understand his work as a sustained engagement in critical literacy, underpinned by an unswerving b…
Remix: The Art and Craft of Endless Hybridization
Remix means to take cultural artifacts and combine and manipulate them into new kinds of creative blends. In this sense, remix is as old as human cultures, and human cultures are themselves products of remixing. Since the late 1980s, however—originating with highly contrived forms of music remix by dancehall DJs—remix practices have been greatly amplified in scope and sophistication by recent developments in digital technologies. These make it po…

Information, Knowledge and Learning: Some Issues Facing Epistemology and Education in a Digital Age
Philosophers of education have always been interested in epistemological issues. In their efforts to help inform educational theory and practice they have dealt extensively with concepts like knowledge, teaching, learning, thinking, understanding, belief, justification, theory, the disciplines, rationality and the like. Their inquiries have addressed issues about what kinds of knowledge are most important and worthwhile, and how knowledge and inf…

Response to “Adult Literacy: The Next Generation”
Language and the new capitalism
This paper discusses the extent to which conceptions and practices of literacy in schools are currently undergoing change in tandem with the emergence of a new capitalism. It considers the possible emergence of a new word order that parallels the evolving new work order. Some possible implications of the discussion for the theory and practice of inclusive education are raised. The argument moves from a brief sketch of capitalism in general to des…

Twelve years on: Women's literacy in a Nicaraguan municipality
It is well known that a strong positive correlation exists between maternal education ‐ especially literacy ‐ and indices of health among children. The mechanisms at work in this association, however, remain largely speculative. Circumstances idiosyncratic to Nicaraguan Literacy initiatives since 1979 present a unique opportunity to investigate the link between the literacy of mothers and the health of their children. While much has been written …
The New Work Order: Critical Language Awareness and 'Fast Capitalism' Texts
The Nicaraguan Literacy Crusade - How lasting were its benefits
In 1981, Nicaragua was awarded a UNESCO prize in recognition of the success of the 1980 National Literacy Crusade (CNA) through which, it was claimed, three quarters of the country's illiterate had been taught to read and write. This article reports the follow-up of several women graduates of the CNA. It finds that, a decade later, a significant proportion of them are no longer able to read or write; and that of those who can, many had previously…
