(Re)Considering the Critical and Affective Potentials of Playful Literacies (Table 11)

Fri, April 12, 3:05 to 4:35pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 200, Exhibit Hall B

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This Working Roundtable session explores the critical and affective potentials of playful literacies and the power of affective pedagogies, highlighting the intertextual nature of play across the lifespan and in various contexts including student, teacher, and family perspectives on literacy-focused formal and informal learning environments. Participants will present brief findings that will animate players’ dynamic and competent meaning-making practices with playful objects and across varied virtual and material spaces and playscapes. A subsequent discussion will consider questions across participants’ projects about how we understand playful literacies to resist racial and cultural injustices within learning spaces. These papers show how play can offer a means for disrupting white, neoliberal conceptions of teaching and learning.
