ABSTRACT This conceptual article examines how ready-made assumptions about literacy both frame and limit understandings of new communicative practices in educational contexts. Proposing a tripartite heuristic that interrogates the appearance of literacy in terms of emergence, semblance and performance, it uses stories from a study of touchscreen tablets in one early years setting to illustrate the social-material arrangements associated with moments when tablets became texts to be looked at, shared or made. The authors argue that a sociomaterial sensibility can not only sensitise researchers to new communicative practices, but also to the ways in which sociomaterial arrangements help to construct habits of noticing often active in accounts of literacy practice and research. It is their contention that exploring the relations between emergence, semblance and performance is particularly valuable at a time when conceptualisations of literacy are being challenged in response to diversifying communicative practices.

新交际实践中识字的出现：审问注意的政治

摘要 这篇概念性文章探讨了关于读写能力的现成假设如何框架和限制对教育环境中新的交际实践的理解。提出了一种三方启发式方法，从出现、外观和性能方面询问识字的外观，它使用来自早年设置的触摸屏平板电脑研究的故事来说明与平板电脑成为可查看文本的时刻相关的社会材料安排在，共享或制作。作者认为，社会物质敏感性不仅可以使研究人员对新的交际实践敏感，而且可以使研究人员对社会物质安排有助于建立经常活跃于识字实践和研究中的注意习惯的方式敏感。他们的论点是探索涌现之间的关系，
