9781032794761: Theories, Models, and Practices of Literacy

Synopsis

This Eighth Edition of Theoretical Models and Processes of Literacy, a foundational text in literacy research, is updated to represent a new era in contemporary and critical scholarship. With a revised name, the intentional inclusion of diverse perspectives, and new organizational structure, Theories, Models, and Practices of Literacy thoroughly represents the theories that drive literacy and the scholars who write about and within the field.

While still representing the most comprehensive source for connecting theories to literacy research and practice, this Eighth Edition builds on preceding editions, contextualizing its historical roots, promoting and highlighting contemporary and critical theories, and envisioning future directions in literacy. This volume addresses theories across ten sections, including early, youth, and community literacies; teaching literacy and literacy teacher education; dis/abilities and disciplinary literacy theories; digital and multimodal literacies; and the disruption of colonial boundaries in language and global literacies. The chapters in this volume are curated to inspire the interrogation of literacy theory and foster its evolution. Additional archival essays from previous editions will remain available as Support Material on the book's webpage.

New to the Eighth Edition:
- 80% new material to reflect emerging and contemporary theories and scholarship.
- A more globalized approach to theorizing literacy practices, including those with onto-epistemological perspectives rooted in people's lived experiences, literacies, and languages to engage scholars and audiences who may be new users of the text.
- Focus on theories that actively challenge traditional theoretical literacy frames and raise critical consciousness towards communities marginalized by the 'white gaze' historically represented in literacy theory, literacy research, and literacy education.
- New avenues for readers to explore how theory informs practice, practice informs theory, and how both are "taken up" in various contexts (e.g., classrooms, schools, communities, and societies).
