- This 68,000 word book reports on sustained ethnographic fieldwork across several projects. It provides an original study of contemporary learning and uses of literacy in communities. The book reports material collected with children and young people including insights across the fields of community studies, informal education and literary theory. The book combines a deep analytic lens, collaboratively developed, using social anthropology and literary theory. Chapters explore the literacies of space, materiality, aesthetics, narrative, representation and the futures of literacy. Chapters 2 and 3, out of 8, contain some material, substantially revised (c. 15,000 words) submitted in articles in REF2014.
