ABSTRACT
Cultural studies and critical pedagogy have begun to teach people to recognize the ubiquity of media culture in contemporary society, the growing trends toward multicultural education, and the need for media literacy that addresses the issue of multicultural and social difference. The studies in Intermediality respond to the challenges of new technologies by offering a variety of critical pedagogies and approaches to the issue of learning to read, interpret, criticize, and evaluate a diversity of forms of media and culture. Intermediality requires new forms of interaction between student and teacher. The contributors to Intermediality propose a variety of ways to relate theories of new literacy and pedagogy to practice, to actual hands-on classroom situations. Rather new intermediality pedagogies are experimental and open ended, subject to revision and development as they are put to the test in the classroom and concrete pedagogical situations.
