06 SES 02, Current and Future Perspectives on Media Competence, Media-Bildung, and "Literacies"
Symposium
Contribution
The term “literacy” has recently attracted much controversy: Literacies associated with information technologies have been argued to be both indispensible (Lankshear & Knobel 2008) and illegitimate (Street 2009); the connection of textual literacy with particular forms of consciousness or cultural achievement has been similarly been championed (e.g., Goody 1977) and roundly criticized (Olson 1996). In the context of these debates Janette Böhme’s book, School at the End of Book Culture, suggests that education is not so much about competency in any one medium (textual or otherwise), as it is about the transitions between them. Taking up Böhme’s “theory of transmedial school-culture,” this presentation explores the possibilities of literacy as kind of transmedial competency: a matter of translating across and negotiating between media, whether oral or written, electronic or digital.
