On Literacy and the Social Organisation of Knowledge Inside and Outside School.

Moss, Gemma

Language and Education, v15 n2-3 p146-61 2001

Explores the relevance of Bernstein's work on horizontal and vertical discourse for understanding the nature of the school literacy curriculum and its relationship to literacy practices in the wider community. Takes issue with some of the political strategies advocated within British New Literacy Studies and seeks to re-invigorate attention to schooled literacy as an object of study. (Author/VWL)
