A5: This is an interesting question. Not something I've actively wrestled with, but definitely a tension that's itched the back of my mind once or twice. Where to cut though? If one subscribes to sociocultural theories of learning/#literacies, it's kind of baked into every domain, no?

A6: a bit more sociolinguistics but a classic and very clever for me. Sorry about the paywall.

A6: A useful introduction to new materialist and affective theories in #literacies

A5: I wonder how the elasticity of #literacies as a concept over time might also be a product of pressures to publish. What I mean is that when so much can count as literacy, it gives literacies scholars more to write about.

A5: If #literacies are everything then it’s less useful as an analytical concept.

A4: Man, it's hard to think of much that falls outside of it! I guess I think less about what's in/out of #literacies and more about how we can help practicing educators understand the pedagogical implications of shifting from "teaching literacy" to "cultivating #literacies."

A2: slowness (!!), mediated activity, posthumanism (neohumanism, Braidotti), discursive materiality, (trans)languaging, play, early #literacies, and the relationships among & between. What knowledges are produc(ing).

Q5: With so much counting as #literacies beyond reading and writing, what are the implications of this? In other words, what happens if literacy is everything now?

A1: to me, #literacies (broadly) are relational, material constellations. Being/doings that include tools, bodies, structures, signs… moving with and alongside others.

Q4: What might not be included in your concept #literacies? Does anything fall outside of it, or is it all-encompassing?

A2: NLG's original multiliteracies article was my portal into the #literacies world and remains foundational. I'm also keen on critical framings of literacy from Janks & Vasquez, multimodal #literacies from Jewitt & Kress, & disciplinary #literacies from Moje. Plenty more but those are foundational.

Was just thinking abt Scribner & Cole’s #literacies def the other day. I used it in my diss. It felt so expansive/inclusive at the time…and I’m just not feeling it anymore. I want to revisit. How are each of the 3 constructs defined? Where’s the community? Where’s the critical/creative process?

A3: As someone who also works a lot with sound, I’m also…wait for it…attuned (!!!) to how sound works in/through practices often called #literacies. This would suggest a new materialist leaning, given the ways sound works in that tradition.

A3: I think mine point me toward what people are doing together. So there is a social rather than material bias in my assumptions about #literacies.

Q3: What do your specific conceptions of #literacies point you to notice, see, or feel where you are most? (Classroom, community, home, research setting, etc.)

A2: New Literacy Studies and multiliteracies traditions, and more recently, have been reading affective and new materialist theories — and the tensions between the two. #literacies

For me, #literacies are all about sociality. It’s not a term one can easily substitute for “skills.” It’s all about understanding the ways knowledge & practices are entangled in social, cultural, & discursive contexts.

A2: Theories that shape my #literacies ideas come from critical literacies (via Vasquez, Janks, Morrell) & a constructivist approach to knowledge creation. I’m all about co-creating knowledge, but I have to admit I’m intrigued by the idea of a chair as its own marker of meaning within posthumanism…
