Definitions

by Nancy Kaplan

Here are some key terms for this essay. Some of them, like "literacies," may seem ordinary enough, but as all academic disputants do, I am probably using them in special ways. Here, I try to spell out what I mean for the purposes of this argument and essay:

Literacies
E-literacies and Elite-racies
Politexts and Politics
Hypertexts
Other Cultural Formations

You might prefer to skip this part of the essay and proceed directly to my account of how tools came to be.

This page is part of the article, "E-literacies: Politexts, Hypertexts and Other Cultural Formations in the Late Age of Print."
