Literacies, literature and learning : reading classrooms differently
2019
Books, Manuscripts
'Literacies, Literature and Learning' attends to pressing questions in literacy education, such as the poor quality of many children's experiences as readers, routine disregard for their thinking and the degrading impact of narrow skills measurement and comparison. This cutting-edge book moves beyond social, psychological and scientific categories that focus on individualistic and linear notions of the knowing subject; of progress and development; and of child as less than fully human. It adopts a posthumanist framework to explore new perspectives for teaching, learning and research. Authors from diverse disciplines and continents have collaborated to interrogate the colonising characteristics of humanism and to imagine a different - more just - reading of a literacy classroom.
