Transforming Language and Literacy Education
The field of languages and literacies education is undergoing rapid transformation. Scholarship that draws upon feminist, post-colonial, new material and posthuman ontologies is transcending disciplinary boundaries and disrupting traditional binaries between human and nonhuman, the natural and the cultural, the material and the discursive. In Transforming Language and Literacy Education, editors Kelleen Toohey, Suzanne Smythe, Diane Dagenais and Magali Forte bring together accessible, conceptually rich stories from internationally diverse authors to guide new practices, new conversations and new thinking among scholars and educators at the forefront of languages and literacies learning. The book addresses these concepts for diverse groups of learners including young children, youth and adults in formal educational and community-based settings. Challenging and disruptive, this is a unique and important contribution to language and literacy education.
The Routledge Handbook of Plurilingual Language Education
The Routledge Handbook of Plurilingual Language Education is the first comprehensive publication on plurilingualism, offering a multidimensional reflection on the nature, scope, and potential of plurilingualism in language education and society. Authored by a range of internationally recognized experts, the Handbook provides an overview of key perspectives on plurilingualism in a complementary range of fields. After a comprehensive introduction to the concept itself, 24 chapters are organized in six parts, each examining plurilingualism through a different lens. The Handbook spans historical, philosophical, and sociological dimensions, examines cognitive and neuroscientific implications, and...

Consumable Reading and Children's Literature
Consumable Reading and Children's Literature explores how multisensory experiences enhance early childhood literacy practices through material and sensory interactions. Embodied engagements that focus on the gustatory experience and, in particular, the sense of taste are investigated by studying food-related narratives. Children’s literature and different reading scenarios involving consumable objects, packages, tableware and utensils are scrutinized. Surfaces, the underlying mechanisms that support children’s literature, are considered in connection to emerging media and groundbreaking technologies. The interdisciplinary nature of this work draws on material and surface science, human-computer interaction, arts and food studies. As innovation and everyday materials meet, the potential of hybrid narratives mimicking synesthesia emerges with discussions on cross-modal learning. This monograph will inspire the interest of not only students, teachers, scholars of children’s literature and child development but also researchers and practitioners across various artistic and scientific disciplines.
Mehrsprachigkeit und Transkulturalität in frankophonen Räumen: Modelle, Prozesse und Praktiken
Hervorgegangen aus einer internationalen Tagung Ende Februar 2020 in Frankfurt am Main, ist es das Anliegen dieses Bandes, die Mehrsprachigkeit als prominenten Türöffner für die Erforschung von Transkulturalität zu verstehen. Transkulturalität ihrerseits ist im hohen Maße auf die mit Sprache verbundenen Prozesse des Austauschs von Akteuren und der Verflechtung ihres Handelns angewiesen, wofür die Räume der Frankophonie anschauliches Datenmaterial bieten. Issu d'un colloque international qui s'est tenu fin février 2020 à Francfort-sur-le-Main, ce volume a pour ambition de considérer le plurilinguisme comme une porte d'entrée privilégiée pour l'étude de la transculturalité. La transculturalité dépend, quant à elle, en grande partie des processus d'échange entre les acteurs/actrices et de l'interdépendance de leurs actions qui sont liées aux langues, aussi les espaces de la francophonie offrent-ils un éventail d'études de cas de premier plan pour penser ces dynamiques.
The Multiverse of Office Fiction
The Multiverse of Office Fiction liberates Herman Melville’s 1853 classic, “Bartleby, the Scrivener,” from a microcosm of Melville studies, namely the so-called Bartleby Industry. This book aims to illuminate office fiction—fiction featuring office workers such as clerks, civil servants, and company employees—as an underexplored genre of fiction, by addressing relevant issues such as evolution of office work, integration of work and life, exploitation of women office workers, and representation of the Post Office. In achieving this goal, Bartleby plays an essential role not as one of the most eccentric characters in literary fiction, but rather as one of the most generic characters in office fiction. Overall, this book demonstrates that Bartleby is a generative figure, by incorporating a wide diversity of his cousins as Bartlebys. It offers fresh contexts in which to place these characters so that it can ultimately contribute to an ever-evolving poetics of the office.
