New Take on New Literacies

with 3 comments

A kind of reverse grafitti is shown here with a acharity for the homeless cleaning up walls covered in streetart … but leaving a new trace… just the shape of a homeless person crouching for warmth.

In another example of text reproduction, see the antics of this photocopier here … and before you switch it off assuming how it will end … please view to this very short film’s conclusion.


And so we have two very different examples of new literacy practices – involving the use of memes and text reproduction.

  1. I like graffiti as social action…as for the video, well is that new literacy or social comment?

  2. Yeah good point .. I think it is pretty much social commentary.

    And I have just realised that ‘textual reproduction’ sounds just a tad rude.
