Neste artigo discutimos os conceitos de identidades docentes e diferença apartir de um recorte de dados de pesquisa narrativa. A pesquisa foi realizada com um grupo de professores em formação inicial participantes do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência – Pibid. A pesquisa objetivou identificar, nos discursos de seis professores de Língua Inglesa em formação inicial  de  duas  universidades  públicas  do  Paraná,  Brasil,  quais  eram  os sentidos que estes sujeitos constroem sobre a profissão professor. Tal análise foi fundamentada nos Novos Estudos do Letramento e nos estudos sobre identidade, enfatizando a influência das trajetórias escolares na construção de suas  identidades  docentes.  Em  linhas  gerais,  foi  possível  observar  nos discursos dos seis professores a relação entre as trajetórias escolares e os sentidos que constroem sobre o que é ser professor de Língua Inglesa. Os discursos indicaram ainda que as identidades docentes estão em permanente negociação e que a participação em programas de formação profissionalcomo o Pibid tem favorecido o processo de reflexão do grupo sobre si mesmo e sobre a profissão professor.PALAVRAS-CHAVEIdentidades docentes; Diferença; Pibid; Profissão professor ABSTRACTIn this paper we discuss the concepts of teacher identities and differencebased on a selection of data collected during a narrative research study. This research was carried out with a group of six pre-service English teachers who integrated the Pibid, a Brazilian program for teacher professionalization. The aim was to identify meanings for the teacher profession in the discourses of these  teachers  from  two  public  universities  in  Brazil.  The  analysis  was supported by the theoretical framework of New Literacy Studies and identity studies focused on the influence of the school trajectories on their professional identities. In general terms it was possible to observe the relation between school trajectories and the meanings constructed by the pre-service English teachers  about  the  teacher  profession.  The  discourses  exposed  that professional identities are being constantly negotiated and that the opportunity to engage pre-service students in a program such as Pibid has allowed the group  to  reflect  about  themselves  as  teachers  and  about  the  teacher profession.KEYWORDSTeacher identities; Difference; Pibid; Teacher profession

The Moment

At the moment, there are two literacy theories that seem to dominate the research on literacies. They are known as the New Literacy Studies (NLS) (BARTON; HAMILTON; IVANIČ; 2002; STREET, 2003) and Multiliteracies (COPE; KALANTZIS, 2009). This article is about a different theory, Multiple Literacies Theory (MLT) that demarcates itself from them ontologically and epistemologically. It will also highlight aspects of NLS and Multiliteracies in order to point out the differences with MLT. This article aims to put forward the major concepts that underlie this theory and present vignettes from a study examining how perceptions of writing systems in multilingual children contribute to reading, reading the world and self as texts.

Creative Self

Informal, online environments facilitate creative self-expression through typographic and orthographic stylistics. Yet, ideologies of writing may be invoked to discourage written forms that are purportedly difficult to read. This paper analyzes how members of an online, text-based, gaming community negotiate appropriate, written communications as expressions of technical identity. These encounters may reify communities of technologists who are associated with using or avoiding forms such as abbreviations, capital letters, and “leet speak.” Amid the technologizing of the word, the paper argues that those who do not conform to assumed norms may be indexed as less technical than those who do. By examining troubled encounters, the paper explores how metapragmatic negotiations affect creativity and technical identity performance online. The paper argues that contrary to discourses that online interactants pay little attention to written stylistics, the present participants closely attended to subtle and small forms. Further, it discusses how ideologies may be idiosyncratically applied to assist in forming asymmetrical, technical identities. Finally, it argues that technical affiliations are just as important to study as other variables such as gender, ethnicity, age, and class that have traditionally received attention in analyses of ideologies of writing and New Literacy Studies.

Data Visualizations

This article explores the concept of literacy related to the use of data visualizations. Literacy is here understood as the ability to make sense from semiotic resources in an educational context. Theoretically the discussion is based in social semiotic theory on multimodality in the tradition of New Literacy Studies. Empirical examples are taken from observations in two Social Science classrooms in upper secondary school in Norway, where the students work with publicly available data visualizations to answer tasks designed by their teacher. The discussion sums up factors that affect reading and learning from such complex resources: taking time to explore axis system, variables, and digitally available options; questioning data; and contextualizing results.

Interdisciplinary Approaches

Academic literacy practices are increasingly varied, influenced by the diverse education and language backgrounds of students and staff, interdisciplinary approaches, and collaborations with non-university groups such as business partners. Completing a master's dissertation thus requires students to negotiate literacy practices associated with different domains. To enable an investigation of conditions for such negotiations, this article extends the concept of literacy practices by combining insights from Academic Literacies, New Literacy Studies and Schatzki's (1996) social practice ontology. The resulting framework is applied in a case study of a student who negotiates academic requirements and entrepreneurial goals in completing a master's dissertation.

This article explores how teachers and pupils construct and negotiate discourses around comic books as part of interaction in the classroom from a New Literacy Studies perspective. The combination of imagery and text, the essence of comics, makes them relevant tools for exploring how literacy is constructed in social interaction in the classroom. The analysis is based on video material from two different Swedish schools, one class in Grade 3 and one class in Grade 8. Nine interactional sequences were initially found, and these have been analysed using a qualitative discursive psychological approach, investigating how assessments are utilized to perform social actions – how participants use assessments of comics as easy or difficult reading, or assessments of themselves or others as being or not being comic book readers – to make something happen in interaction. The results show that participants utilize discourses of personal, visual and textual literacy to construct a comics literacy in which image and text are both construed as important for, as well as a difficulty in, reading comics. This demonstrates constructions of comics literacy and readership, how personal experiences of reading comics are important and the importance of broadening the view of comics as school literature.
