Postdigital literacies

Abstract

Literacy researchers across various perspectives have demonstrated a notable agility in responding to the emergence of digital technologies and their impacts on literacy practices. As digital technologies permeate human existence, writing and other literacy practices occur in postdigital literacy ecologies. Examining how literacy is bound up postdigitally in everyday life offers opportunities to comprehend the complex relationships between technology, society, and individuals. It also reflects ongoing efforts in Literacy Studies to understand the social, epistemological, and ideological nature of mediatized representation as occurring at the level of everyday literacy
