Writing has been the subject of much research but it is usually highly visible and valued texts that are studied -- the work of novelists, poets and scholars. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe studies included in this book examine every day acts of writing and their significance. Ordinary quotidian writing may be viewed as mundane and routine, but it is central to how societies operate and the ways individuals relate to each other and to institutions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExamples discussed in the book including writing in areas such as farming, photo-sharing, childcare work and health care. The chapters are united in their approach to examining this writing as cultural practice. The book also brings together two important traditions of this type of study: the Anglophone and Francophone. The work of French scholars in this field is made accessible for the first time to the Anglophone world. The insights and research in this collection will appeal to all linguists, anthropologists, sociolinguistics and cultural theorists.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessor David Barton is Director of the Lancaster Literacy Research Centre, Lancaster University, UK \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr Uta Papen is Senior Lecturer in Literacy Studies at Lancaster University, UK.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 16, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52695355294003,"sku":"9781441128898","price":102.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/SnVjZ1E5WWlLU2Jvc0lOYlJUL0VUUT09.webp?v=1763089142","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-anthropology-of-writing-understanding-textually-mediated-worlds-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
