Transliteracy is the ability to read,
write and interact across a range of platforms and tools from orality through
print, TV, radio and film, to networked digital media.
For some time the PART (Production and
Research in Transliteracy) group at De
Montfort University has been discussing transliteracy
and now announces the PART blog
http://www.hum.dmu.ac.uk/blogs/part/ . This is the
first in a series of projects leading to the creation of a Transliteracy
Resource to be released later this year. Coincidentally, the launch of
the PART blog comes on World Book Day http://www.worldbookday.com/ which must
be food for thought.
Current PART researchers are Chris Joseph, Jess Laccetti,
Bruce Mason, Simon Mills, Simon Perril, Kate Pullinger, Howard Rheingold and Sue
Thomas. http://www.hum.dmu.ac.uk/blogs/part/author/ The group sits
within both the Faculty of Humanities and the Institute of Creative Technologies at De Montfort
University.
Are you working on
transliteracy? If so, we'd like to hear about it - please contact us through the
blog.
