Creating oneSELF new spaces : bilingual migrants' identity positioning in personal blogs
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
This paper discusses the potential of blogs for bilingual adult migrants to appropriate new social spaces, develop multiple literacies and (re)construct bilingual identities. It does so against a broader context of significant conceptual shifts: (1) the emergence of more equitable and empowering pedagogies where learning is conceptualised in the context of identity, language and literacy (Norton and Toohey 2004; Mantero 2007); (2) the reconceptualisation of new literacies/multiliteracies (multimodal and increasingly online) as rooted in social practice (Gee 2002; Coiro et al 2008); and (3) construction, presentation and communication of knowledge increasingly mediated through web-based media, resulting in redefined notions of text and authorship and presenting new opportunities for digital self-presentation. Positioning theory (Davies and Harré 1990; Pavlenko and Blackledge 2004) provides an explanatory framework for instances of identity construction through bilingual means in personal German–English blogs created by immigrants to New Zealand. ; 13 page(s)
