Abstract:

>From the origins of writing to today's computer-mediated communication,
material technologies shape how we read and write, how we construe and share
knowledge, and ultimately how we understand ourselves in relation to the
world. However, communication technologies are themselves designed in
particular social and cultural contexts and their use is adapted in creative
ways by individuals. In this book, Richard Kern explores how technology
matters to language and the ways in which we use it. Kern reveals how
material, social and individual resources interact in the design of textual
meaning, and how that interaction plays out across contexts of communication,
different situations of technological mediation, and different moments in
time. Showing how people have adapted visual forms to various media as well as
to social needs, this study culminates in five fundamental principles to guide
language and literacy education in a period of rapid technological and social
change.

Introduction; Part I. Designing Meaning: 1. Communication by design; 2.
Material resources: the medium matters; 3. Social ecologies; 4. The individual
and design; Part II. Interactions of the Material, the Social, and the
Individual: 5. Ancient writing in Mesopotamia; 6. Paper and print; 7. Writing
redesigned: electronically mediated discourse; 8. Multimodal discourse; Part
III. Educational Implications: 9. Principles and goals in language and
literacy education; 10. Toward a relational pedagogy.
