Introducing Offlineness: Theorizing (Digital) Literacy Engagements

Abstract: In this Insights essay, we propose a new concept of offlineness that builds on current language around digital practices, yet addresses an element of young people’s experience that is not adequately represented in current research or educational discourse. This work is informed by a recent cross-national arts-based research project that highlighted the limitations of the discourse ascribed to the nature of young people’s engagement with digital literacies. We propose a (re)theorization, which builds on a criti… Show more

“…In this research, we started to see what post-digital lives might look like, as youth moved across and in and out of spaces easily. We realized that for the young people there was no offline or online and some of us have written about this elsewhere (Nelson et al, 2020).

“…In this light, we call for scholars and educators to seek out and acknowledge the drama and cultural production that occurs in and around all literacy education contexts. The shifting nature and role of performance and play that emerges in spaces such as YouTube and social media fora is one example (Nelson et al, 2020; Peters and Seier, 2009). Creative engagements with media (Collier, 2015), out of school (Vasudevan et al, 2014) and cultural practices (Bartlett, 2008) are additional areas that can contribute, enrich and be enriched by, a commitment to reading relationally with drama.…”
