In The Rise of Writing, author and professor Deborah Brandt posits that writing, rather than reading, is the dominant form of literacy activity today. Many workers in our "knowledge economy" spend much of their workday creating documents and emails. Examples of professions in which employees write a lot include police officer, social worker, and legislative assistant. Often, these writers learn on the job; the types of writing they learned in school don't serve them well in the real world. Brandt concludes that high school and college curricula should focus less on reading and literary analysis, and more on "workaday writing." It's a fair point. For graduate students and other academics only. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Millions of Americans routinely spend half their working day or more with their hands on keyboards and their minds on audiences - writing so much, in fact, that they have less time and appetite for reading. In this highly anticipated sequel to her award-winning Literacy in American Lives, Deborah Brandt moves beyond laments about the decline of reading to focus on the rise of writing. What happens when writing overtakes reading as the basis of people's daily literate experience? How does a societal shift toward writing affect the ways that people develop their literacy and understand its value? Drawing on recent interviews with people who write every day, Brandt explores this major turn in the development of mass literacy and examines the serious challenges it poses for America's educational mission and civic health.
