Rezensionen

'Oral Literacies is a rich exploration of the complex nature of reading and writing as mobile, embodied, and multimodal. Duncan provides both detailed documentation and nuanced analysis of the wide range of social practices involved in reading aloud that are too often overlooked in literacy research. She complicates the seeming paradox of the concepts in the title to demonstrate the interanimating relationships of speech and text across daily life.'
