Constructing imaginaries using different semiotic resources -- pt. 2. Domains of imagination. 330 $a"Literacy is a key indicator for comparing individuals and nations in contemporary society. It is central to public debates about the nature of the public sphere, economic markets, citizenship and self-governance. Literacy and the politics of representation aims to uncover the constructed nature of public understandings of literacy by examining detailed examples of how literacy is represented in a range of public contexts. It looks at the ways in which knowledge about literacy is created and distributed, the location and relative power of the knowledge-makers, and examines the different semiotic resources used in such representations: images and metaphors, numerical and statistical models, and textual narratives and how they are related to one another. The book focuses on the UK from 1970 to the present, but includes a range of international comparisons and examples. In addition, exemplar chapters offer a model of analysis that can be used to deconstruct the representations of social policy issues. This book is vital reading for postgraduate students in the areas of education studies, literacy, discourse analysis and multimodality."$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aLiteracies 606 $aLiteracy$xSocial aspects 606 $aLiteracy$xPolitical aspects 606 $aLiteracy$zGreat Britain 615 0$aLiteracy$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aLiteracy$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aLiteracy 676 $a302.2/244 686 $aLAN000000$2bisacsh 700 $aHamilton$b Mary$f1949-,$01506587 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785791803321 996 $aLiteracy and the politics of representation$93736879 997 $aUNINA
