Transliteracy might provide a unifying perspective on what it means to be literate in the twenty–first century. It is not a new behavior but has only been identified as a working concept since the Internet generated new ways of thinking about human communication. This article defines transliteracy as “the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks” and opens the debate with examples from history, orality, philosophy, literature, and ethnography.

This is my world and it’s probably not that dissimilar to yours, gentle reader — if “reader” is an appropriate term for who you are.

We live in a world of multiple literacies, multiple media and multiple demands on our attention.
