Multiliteracies for a Digital Age (Studies in Writing & Rhetoric)
“Over the past several years, I’ve read dozens of books on digital rhetoric, digital media, online communication, new media, and the like. None of them is as stimulating or as important to our understanding of online literacy asMultiliteracies for a Digital Age. Selber reviews, critiques, and synthesizes an immense body of research—which is impressive in itself—and then goes on to develop a post-critical approach. The significance of this approach is that it emphasizes the social scene for computer-based writing, offering a contextual view of technology that challenges the predominant instrumental views. This is breakthrough work, showing how technology theory should matter to literacy scholars and teachers.”—Jim Porter,Michigan State University
