Ebook: Towards a Critical Sociology of Reading Pedagogy: Papers of the XII World Congress on Reading

Through critical sociological appraisals of literary theory, research and pedagogy, this volume presents challenges to dominant psychological approaches in reading research and to mainstream discourses about reading and writing pedagogy. Bringing together recent work of literacy researchers in Australia, Europe and North America, it offers novel critiques and theorizations from within political economy, neomarxist and critical theory, ethnomethodology, interactive sociolinguistics, poststructuralism and postmodernism.
