Reframing Sociocultural Research on Literacy: Identity Agency and Power

Reframing Sociocultural Research on Literacy Identity, Agency, and Power This landmark volume articulates and develops the argument that new directions in sociocultural theory are needed in order to address important issues of identity, agency, and power that are central to understanding literacy research and literacy learning as social and cultural practices. With an overarching focus on the research process as it relates to sociocultural research, the book is organized around two themes: conceptual frameworks and knowledge sources. *Part I,?Rethinking Conceptual Frameworks,? offers new theoretical lenses for reconsidering key concepts traditionally associated with sociocultural theory, such as activity, history, community, and the ways they are conceptualized and under-conceptualized within sociocultural theory. *Part II,?Rethinking Knowledge and Representation,? considers the tensions and possibilities related to how research knowledge is produced, represented, and disseminated or shared?challenging the locus of authority in research relationships, asking who is authorized to be a legitimate knowledge source, for what purposes, and for which audiences or stakeholders. Employing the lens of?critical sociocultural research,? this book focuses on the central role of language and identity in learning and literacy practices. It is intended for scholars, researchers, and graduate students in literacy education, social and cultural psychology, social foundations of education, educational anthropology, curriculum theory, and qualitative research in education.Additional ISBNs9781003064428, 9780805856958, 9781000128239, 9781000106350Reframing Sociocultural Research on Literacy: Identity, Agency, and Power 1st Edition is written by Cynthia Lewis; Patricia A.
