Fact Checking

A pandemia de Covid-19 trouxe-nos um contexto de exceção. Restrições impostas à sociedade foram aplicadas por governos de diferentes partes do mundo, gerando dificuldades, por exemplo, de escolha entre ter privacidade de dados ou saúde prometida por vigilância biométrica (HARARI, 2020). Como “resposta” à disseminação de fake news – não só sobre a doença, mas também sobre outros temas – as agências de fact-checking (PANGRAZIO, 2018; SPINELLI, SANTOS, 2018) surgem com o objetivo de verificá-las, classificando-as em “verdadeiras” ou “falsas”, segundo gradação. Quando publicam a checagem realizada, as agências utilizam manchetes que desmentem as notícias. Entre os padrões linguísticos observados, a negação é bastante frequente nas manchetes verificadas em mídias sociais. Por ser um índice de implícito, está presente no enunciado para produzir sentido: a memória discursiva é, pois, um modo de compreender o estatuto dos implícitos (ACHARD, 1999; PÊCHEUX, 1999). Logo, partimos da hipótese de que a prática de estruturar a negação, nas manchetes analisadas, pode fazer emergir questões interlocutivas via evocação de certa memória discursiva. Com base em pressupostos teórico-metodológicos dos estudos de letramentos (New Literacy Studies) e da Análise do discurso francesa, este trabalho objetivou analisar o papel da memória discursiva em 68 manchetes, publicadas em março de 2020 por duas agências (“Chequeado” e “Agência Lupa), as quais desmentem notícias sobre Covid-19 em mídias sociais. Os resultados obtidos permitiram identificar três estruturas de negação frequentes nas manchetes e parecem confirmar a hipótese de partida, contribuindo com os estudos de letramentos, quanto à formação do leitor em tempos de pandemia.

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.
