Wysocki and Johnson-Eilola don't pose many counterpart terms, as I recall. They're more concerned with ___ literacy (the tendency to use literacy too breezily in all domains, especially so called "digital literacy"). I suppose this also ties in with questions about what it means to be a literacy expert. That is, when does it become useful (or necessary) to narrow what the term refers to, perhaps by introducing an alternative vocabulary?Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16693037315177537166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469043744984296091.post-36110127926179802502012-01-31T07:50:16.961-05:002012-01-31T07:50:16.961-05:00I know you must see connections between what Wysoc...I know you must see connections between what Wysocki/Johnson-Eilola have mentioned in their piece as well as almost everything we uncovered in Gallup's. That was a year ago, right? Anyway. After reading your post I started to think about how literacy identity is formed. Do instructors form it for their students or is it this process we talk about. Does this collaboration/process/co-existence of literacy create an identity through literacy for the student? You’ve brought another facet of exploration to my Master’s Project. You think we can present them together ;)<br />Jay L. Robinson in “Literacy in the Department of English” describes it best: “[literacy] is a wonderfully ambivalent term, its meaning dependent upon the contexts in which it is used” (483). I could see connections from this quote to another text I just finished reading from another course. <br />http://www.theyellowdollpaper.blogspot.com/2012/01/conceptual-analysis-of-literacy.html<br />In this piece Peter Roberts talks of literacy as a process. And that’s how I’ve always identified with literacy. “Literacy is an activity, a way of thinking, not a set of skills. And it is a purposeful activity. People read, write, talk and think about real ideas and information in order to ponder and extend what they know, to communicate with others, to present their point of view, to understand and to be understood.” P. 16 Do you think this definition of literacy is in contrast with what Wysocki/Johnson-Eilola are saying?Kimberly Occhipintihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05290748144831235356noreply@blogger.com
