A New Literacies Sampler

The study of new literacies is quickly emerging as a major research field. This book �samples� work in the broad area of new literacies research along two dimensions. First, it samples some typical examples of new literacies — video gaming, fan fiction writing, weblogging, role play gaming, using websites to participate in affinity practices, memes, and other social activities involving mobile technologies. Second, the studies collectively sample from a wide range of approaches potentially available for researching and studying new literacies from a sociocultural perspective. Readers will come away with a rich sense of what new literacies are, and a generous appreciation of how they are being researched.
