Description

This article is a contribution, or at least signposts a contribution, to a continued exploration of third space or 'in between' literacy. This third space 'in between' literacy is a hybrid literacy discourse, apart from the autonomous vs. multiplicity polarity. It is a discursive exploration that acknowledges Literacy practices as fluid, migratory and continuously mutating, with emergent literacies simultaneously embodying and transcending the practices and ideologies from which they are formed. My intention is to imagine what a developmental framework, enabling a full analysis of this hybridity, this constant re-negotiation between the local and distant, between the local and global, between Literacy and literacy, may consist of. What conceptual tools are necessary to enable practitioners to characterise the space between literacy as expressed in the new adult literacy core-curriculum and literacy as expressed by an individual who wants nothing more than 'to feel more confident about her reading and writing'.
