Limits of the Local: Expanding Perspectives on Literacy as a Social Practice.
Brandt, Deborah; Clinton, Katie
Journal of Literacy Research, v34 n3 p337-56 Fall 2002
Reflects on how the social practice model of literacy, which defines reading and writing as situated, social practices, under-theorizes certain aspects of literacy. Proposes a set of analytical constructs that treat literacy not solely as an outcome or accomplishment of local practices, but also as a participant in them. (PM)
