From: "Kim Cooney" <KimCooney-AT-bigpond.com> Subject: eco-social and habitus Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2000 20:10:04 +1000 I had some requests for the reference for Lemke regarding ecosocial environments. Here it is for Rhonda and others: http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/education/jlemke/reinking.htm Chapter for Literacy for the 21st Century: Technological Transformation in a Post-typographic World, D. Reinking et al. (Eds.), Erlbaum. METAMEDIA LITERACY: TRANSFORMING MEANINGS AND MEDIA J.L. LEMKE City University of New York Brooklyn College School of Education Brooklyn, New York 11210 USA JLLBC-AT-CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU Below is a snippet from the chapter: Transforming Theories of Literacy and Society Literacies are legion. Each one consists of a set of interdependent social practices which link people, media objects, and strategies for meaning-making (Lemke, 1989a; Gee, 1990; Beach & Lundell, this volume). Each is an integral part of a culture and its subcultures. Each plays a role in maintaining and transforming a society because literacies provide essential links between meanings and doings. Literacies are themselves technologies, and they give us the keys to using broader technologies. They also provide a key link between self and society: the means through which we act on, participate in, and become shaped by larger "ecosocial" systems and networks (see examples below and in Lemke, 1993a, 1995b). Literacies are transformed in the dynamics of these larger self-organizing systems, and we -- our own human perceptions, identities, and possibilities -- are transformed along with them.
