Literacies Across Media: Playing the Text. Second Edition. Margaret Mackey. London, Routledge, 2007.
Study – originally done in 97-99, about young teens/pre teens. Now a historical document about the uses of media. Has additions to each chapter (an appendix), contextualizing it today; her appendix to the last chapter adds a more current case study.
Honestly, the afterwards seem pretty short, not that complex, more to justify, “My study is still important!” than really contributing to current scholarship. Sometimes guessing how it would be different today.
The useful chapter is that on “Play.”
