Authority, Performance, and Interpretation in Religious Reading: Critical Issues of Intercultural Communication and Multiple Literacies.
Elster, Charles A.
Journal of Literacy Research, v35 n1 p663-92 Spr 2003
Examines literacy practices in their sociohistorical contexts, drawing examples of religious reading practices and stances from Orthodox Jewish reading practices. Notes that religious reading practices highlight the repertoire of reading genres, strategies, and stances that members of modern multicultural societies learn to control. Concludes that because multiple reading traditions define communities, it is critical to avoid the danger of imposing one secularist model of reading on all activities. (PM)
