This article reports findings from an ethnographic study of the literacy practices of a group of 11–14 year‐old Black males who defined themselves as “the cool kids.” The study is framed using theories that view literacy as a social and cultural practice involving multiple sign and symbol systems. Two research questions guided the study: How did coolness relate to literacy among the young men who called themselves “the cool kids,” and what symbolic patterns helped to shape these relations? The findings describe how the group's use of language and style involved issues of race, gender, and pop culture and reveal how coolness, as a pop cultural artifact of Black manhood, contributed to the literacy practices of the young men and to the construction of their symbolic selves. These findings contribute to building a theory of Black masculine literacies. تقدم هذه المقالة نتائج دراسة ثقافية تتبعية بصدد ممارسات التعلم لدى مجموعة شباب سود تتراوح أعمارهم من 11‐14 وصفوا أنفسهم كـ((الشباب من شلة رابط الجأش)). ويتم تأطير هذه الدراسة في نظريات تنظر إلى التعلم كممارسة اجتماعية وثقافية متضمنة فيها أنظمة رموز وإشارات. وقد وجه الدراسةَ سؤالان: ما هي العلاقة بين سمعة شباب الشلة وشعبيتهم والتعلم وما هي التشكيلات الرموزية التي ساعدت في تكوين هذه العلاقات؟ وتصف النتائج كيف طريقة استخدام اللغة وأسلوبها اشتملت على مسائل العرق والجنس والثقافة الشعبية وتكشف عن كيف السمعة كعنصر الثقافة الشعبية في رجولية رجال السود ساهمت في ممارسات التعلم لدى الشباب وتكوين أنفسهم الرموزية. وتساهم هذه النتائج في بناء نظرية معارف القراءة والكتابة الرجولية لدى السود. 本报告是关于一项民族志研究。该研究调查一组11至14岁自命为「酷孩」的黑人男孩所共有的读写文化实践。研究框架所采用的理论,是把读写文化视为一种涉及多元标志与符号系统的社会和文化实践。指导研究问题有二:「酷」与自称「酷孩」的黑人青少年所共有的读写文化实践是如何关联起来的?有助于这些关联的成形是什么样的符号模式?研究结果描述该组「酷孩」所采用的语言和风格如何牵涉到种族、性别和流行文化等问题。研究结果亦揭示「酷」作为黑人成年男子的一种流行文化产物是如何在青少年的读写文化实践上作出贡献,以及如何在他们以符号象征的自我形象建构上作出贡献。这些研究结果有助于建立关于男性黑人读写文化的理论。 Cet article rapporte les résultats d'une enquête ethnographique des pratiques de littératie d'un groupe de garçons noirs de 11–14 ans qui se définissent eux‐mêmes comme « les gars cool ». L'étude se base sur les théories qui considèrent la littératie comme une pratique sociale et culturelle impliquant de multiples systèmes de signes et de symboles. L'étude a été effectuée à partir de deux questions de recherche: comment le fait d'être « cool » est‐il lié à la littératie chez de jeunes garçons qui s'appellent eux‐mêmes « les gars cool », et quels patrons symboliques ont aidé à façonner ces relations ? Les résultats montrent comment l'utilisation du langage par le groupe et le style impliquent des questions de race, de genre, et de culture populaire et révèlent comment le fait d'être « cool », en tant qu'artefact culturel de la masculinité des Noirs, ont contribué aux pratiques de littératie des jeunes garçons et à la construction de leur moi symbolique. Ces résultats contribuent à la construction d'une théorie des littératies masculines des Noirs. В статье описаны результаты этнографического исследования, посвященного общению со словом группы афроамериканцев 11‐14 лет, называющих себя “крутыми парнями”. Исследование базировалось на теориях, которые рассматривают грамотность как социальную и культурную практику, предусматривающую использование разнообразных систем знаков и символов. Ученые поставили перед собой два исследовательских вопроса: Как соотносится “крутизна” с уровнем грамотности бравирующих ею подростков? и Какие символы и модели способствуют формированию такого баланса? Полученные результаты демонстрируют, как в языке и речевой стилистике этой группы отражаются вопросы расы, пола и поп‐культуры и каким образом такой поп‐культурный символ чернокожей маскулинности как “крутизна” определяет практику общения подростков с печатным словом и формирует их самоидентичность. Эти результаты вносят существенный вклад в создание теории о развитии грамотности среди афроамериканцев мужского пола. Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio etnográfico de las prácticas de aprendizaje de un grupo de varones negros de entre 11 y 14 años de edad que se consideraban “chulos” (“the cool kids”) a sí mismos. El estudio se basa en teorías que consideran el aprendizaje como una tradición social y cultural que incluye múltiples sistemas de símbolos y señas. Dos preguntas de investigación guiaron el estudio: Cómo se relaciona la idea de ser “chulo” al aprendizaje entre estos muchachos que se consideraban a sí mismos “chulos”, y cuáles patrones de símbolos les ayudaron a crear estas relaciones. Los resultados describen cómo el idioma y el estilo usados por el grupo incorporaban cuestiones sobre la raza, el género, y la cultura popular, y revelan cómo “ser chulo”, como un artefacto de la cultura popular del macho negro, contribuyó a las prácticas de aprendizaje de estos jóvenes y a la creación de sus seres simbólicos. Estos resultados contribuyen a la creación de una teoría de las competencias del hombre negro
