Literacies that Move and Matter : Nexus Analysis for Contemporary Childhoods Paperback / softback
by Karen Wohlwend
Part of the Expanding Literacies in Education series
Paperback / softback
Description
Expanding the definition and use of literacies beyond verbal and written communication, this book examines contemporary literacies through action-focused analysis of bodies, places, and media.
Nexus analysis examines how people enact and mobilize meanings that are largely unspoken.
Wohlwend demonstrates how nexus analysis can be used as a tool to critically analyze and understand action in everyday settings, to provide a deeper understanding of how meanings are produced from a mix of modes in daily social and cultural contexts. Organized in three sections-Engaging Nexus, Navigating Nexus, and Changing Nexus-this book provides a roadmap to applying nexus analysis to literacy research, and offers tools to enable readers to compare methods across contexts.
Designed to help readers understand the theoretical and methodological assumptions and goals of nexus analysis in classroom and literacy research, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the theory, framework, and foundations of nexus analysis, by using multimodal examples such as films and media, artifacts, live action performances, and more.
Each chapter features consistent sections on key ideas and methods, and a description of procedures for replication and application.
