Abstract

This chapter makes a critical intervention in studies and practices of digital literacies. I argue that to become digitally literate also implies an awareness of digital technologies’ material dimension, i.e., their technological affordances, economic embedding, and societal, environmental, as well as embodied effects and repercussions. After a brief walk-through of key advances in thinking about literacy, the chapter homes in on the notion of Critical Digital Literacies to conceptually support the further inquiry. I define Critical Digital Literacies as the knowledges, skills, and competences necessary to see the use and implications of digital technologies in the widest possible context. A critical materialist approach directs attention to unintended economic, social, and environmental ramifications, focuses on questions of surveillance and subject formation in and through technology, and offers concrete alternatives to hegemonic tools and practices. After having outlined such key aspects, I provide a series of concrete recommendations on how critical literacies can be fostered in the contemporary classroom both with and without access to digital devices.
