Literacy and Multimodality Across Global Sites

By Maureen Kendrick

Book Overview

Research in multimodalities has impacted societies, education systems, and public policies in powerful ways and arguably, the focus on multimodal texts will be central to the most important literacy and learning issues on the current generation. This book focuses specifically on the visual in the everyday, and claims that powerful pedagogies and methodologies can be constructed by focusing on visual texts in previously under-represented contexts. By describing and analyzing visual texts across a broader range of contexts, the book highlights different constructs, issues and emerging questions dealing with the study of literacies and multimodalities.
