Mixing well-recognized authors alongside some lesser-known and highly notable voices from a range of disciplines, Hobbs' book will tap the curiosity of readers who want to explore connections at the intersection of film/media studies, communication, and education. The individuals featured weave narratives of the integral scholars from previous generations whose work most influenced their own path. The collection offers a view on some of the earlier intellectual roots that ground the complex, multiply-defined constructs of digital literacy and media literacy.</i>"—<b>Rebecca Reynolds</b>, Assistant Professor of Library and Information Science in the School of Communication and Information at Rutgers University <br /> <br></BLOCKQUOTE> <p> <i>Exploring the Roots of Digital and Media Literacy through Personal Narrative</i> provides a wide-ranging look at the origins, concepts, theories, and practices of the field. This unique, exciting collection of essays by a range of distinguished scholars and practitioners offers insights into the scholars and thinkers who fertilized the minds of those who helped shape the theory and practice of digital and media literacy education. <br> <p>Each chapter describes an individual whom the author considers to be a type of "grandparent." By weaving together two sets of personal stories-that of the contributing author and that of the key ideas and life history of the historical figure under their scrutiny-major concepts of digital media and learning emerge. <br> <P CLASS="top"><A HREF="#top">BACK TO TOP</A></P> <h2>Excerpt</h2><p> Read the Introduction (pdf) <br> <P CLASS="top"><A HREF="#top">BACK TO TOP</A></P> <BR>   <P> <h2>Contents</h2><P><p> Introduction ■ Renee Hobbs</p> <p>1 Historical Roots of Media Literacy ■ Renee Hobbs <br />2 David Weinberger on Martin Heidegger ■ David Weinberger <br />3 Lance Strate on Marshall McLuhan ■ Lance Strate <br />4 Dana Polan on Roland Barthes ■ Dana Polan <br />5 Cynthia Lewis on Mikhail Bakhtin ■ Cynthia Lewis <br />6 Srividya Ramasubramanian on Gordon Allport ■ Srividya Ramasubramanian <br />7 Michael RobbGrieco on Michel Foucault ■ Michael RobbGrieco <br />8 Gianna Cappello on Theodor Adorno ■ Gianna Cappello <br />9 Douglas Kellner on Herbert Marcuse ■ Douglas Kellner <br />10 Henry Jenkins on John Fiske ■ Henry Jenkins <br />11 Amy Petersen Jensen on Bertolt Brecht ■ Amy Petersen Jensen <br />12 Donna E.
