"Ideologies of Literacy, 'Academic Literacies,' and Composition Studies" - Bruce Horner

Horner, Bruce. "Ideologies of Literacy, 'Academic Literacies,' and Composition Studies." Literacy in Composition Studies 1.1 (2009): 1-9.

Horner aligns the New Literacy(ies) perspective and Street's ideas about autonomous (perceived) and ideological (reality) of literacy education with the translingual take on multilingualism as a plurality of monolingual ideologies.  While recognizing that movements like WID and WAC have shown a multiplicity of academic literacies as opposed to a monolithic academic literacy form, he cautions educators not to fetishize and teach "alternative" forms of literacies/composition, but to keep in mind that all literacy practices are always already in motion.
