Contributors address a coherent set of issues:* the visual and material aspects of literacy* concepts of time and space in relation to literacy* the functions of literacies in shaping and sustaining identities in communities of practice* the relationship between texts and the practices associated with their usethe role of discourse analysis on literacy studies These studies, along with a foreword by Denny Taylor, make a timely and important contribution to literacy theory and suggest directions for the further development of the field. Situated Literacies is essential reading for anyone involved in literary education.
