ABSTRACT

Digital writing is constantly in tension with the way that school recontextualizes forms of resistance and vernacular knowledge in order to sustain control and power relations across society. Yet the social practices of digital writing are diverse, wide-ranging and constantly challenge forms of authorized knowledge across a variety of different social domains. This article considers definitions of digital writing (what is counted as such, by whom and in whose interests?) with the aim of disentangling vernacular and formal “digital writing” literacies. The discourse of other art fields (film and photography especially) raises questions about the logocentrism of print. Such discussion of variation in forms of expressivity and communication challenges and redefines what counts as writing in a conventional sense. I argue that the balance between school control over what counts as writing is under constant stress and is central to the politics of literacy.

摘要

为了使整个社会保持控制和权力关系，数字写作一直处于紧张状态，这种方式使学校重新将抵抗和乡土知识的形式重新关联。然而，数字写作的社会实践在各种不同的社会领域中是多种多样，范围广泛且不断挑战授权知识的形式。本文考虑了数字写作的定义（指的是什么，由谁以及谁的利益？），目的是解开白话和正式的“数字写作”素养。其他艺术领域（尤其是电影和摄影）的论述提出了有关印刷品标志中心主义的问题。对表现形式和交流形式的变化的这种讨论提出了挑战，并重新定义了传统意义上的写作。
