Breaking the Line: New Literacies, Postmodernism and the Teaching of Printed Texts.
Coles, Martin
Reading: Literacy and Language, v35 n3 p111-14 Nov 2001
Considers how words and image convey multiple meanings, lending themselves to postmodern readings, in the sense that they encourage readings that reject a single interpretation and instead hold in suspense the possibility of multiple readings co-existing. Explores how these texts allow the consumer/reader the opportunity to actively engage the cultural event rather than being merely the passive receiver of it. (SG)
