Conference Paper: ‘Books: not really my style’: Representing presumed literacies in online discourse
Lauren Squires presented a paper at the Expanding Literacy Studies conference at The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH.
‘Books: not really my style’: Representing presumed literacies in online discourse
This paper discusses the use of literacy products in online profiles by taking literacy practices as one aspect of perrsonal style. I discuss ways in which literacy is presumed, packaged, and claimed through the interface, suggesting that literacy products serve as a symbolic link between virtual and non-virtual cultural practice
Lauren was also on the Conference Committee that organized the event.
