Abstract

This paper argues that digital technologies offer an opportunity to open up and rethink cultural literacy. It discusses and critiques prevalent approaches to digital literacy, and examines the kinds of new literacies emerging from mobile phone culture and developments in mobile media. The paper concludes with suggestions for how mobiles can inform not only an understanding of digital literacy, but directions in literacy in general.
