Study Notes
New Literacies: Concepts and Practices
- Literacies are socially recognized ways of creating, communicating, and negotiating meaningful content through encoded texts in specific contexts.
- Practices are recurrent, goal-directed sequences of activities utilizing specific technologies and knowledge systems to achieve recognized goals.
- New literacies involve both "new technical stuff" (digital technologies) and "new ethos stuff" (contemporary mindsets).
- Digital technologies allow for seamless integration of text and images, layering, and easy manipulation, unlike print.
- Digital technologies reduce units of composition to pixels, enabling flexible rendering.
- New literacies are significant because they are fundamentally different from traditional methods of communication and knowledge dissemination.
- New literacies necessitate adaptations and changes in the way we learn and communicate.
- "New technical stuff" is characterized by the development of digital technologies, source code, binary code, and corresponding applications.
- Utilizing tools like computers, internet connections, basic software, and the internet, new users can rapidly and easily create diverse and meaningful digital content like multi-modal texts, image posts, Valentine's Day cards, short films, blog posts, etc.
- "New ethos stuff" refers to emerging contemporary mindsets.
Key Figures and Concepts
- Lankshear and Knobel: Defined literacies as socially recognized ways of generating, communicating, and negotiating meaningful content through encoded texts within the context of participation in discourses.
- Scribner and Cole: Introduced the concept of practice in literacy theory, viewing literacy as a practice rather than just a tool.
- Mary Kalantzis: Emphasized the importance of "You click for 'A' and you click for 'red'" to encapsulate "new technical stuff."
- Bill Cope (with others): Explored the shift from print to digital texts, noting how digital technologies changed the structure and composition.
