Abstract
![CDATA[Can 'English' cope in a post-industrial world which has radically extended the range of literacy practices young people engage in on a daily basis? This provocative question, asked by Julian Sefton-Green and Helen Nixon (2003) some years ago now, emphasises the tensions being created for subject English by the dynamic role of popular culture in young people's lives. Beyond its emphasis on an evolving understanding of literacy in and for this new century, the question posed by Sefton-Green and Nixon particularly draws attention to the central role popular culture plays in (adolescent) identity formation, the central historical concern of English (Peel, 2000).]]
