Alliances, Assemblages, and Affects: Three Moments of Building Collective Working-Class Literacies

Jennifer Harding ; Jessica Pauszek ; Nick Pollard ; Steve Parks

Abstract

This article explores how assemblage and affect theories can enable research into the formation of a collective working-class identity, inclusive of written, print, publication, and organizational literacies through the origins of the Federation of Worker Writer and Community Publishers, an organization that expanded its collectivity as new heritages, ethnicities, and immigrant identities altered the organization’s membership and “class” identity.
