Globalization and Agency: Designing and Redesigning the Literacies of Cyberspace

Gail E. Hawisher ; Cynthia L. Selfe ; Yi-Huey Guo ; Lu Liu

Abstract

The authors explore the interdependent relationships between learning English(es) and learning digital literacies in global contexts, and, collaborating with two women who have moved and continue to move between the United States and Asia, highlight the crucial role that the practice of guanxi has played in advancing digital literacies. Their collaboration suggests that guanxi is a useful term for describing not only the multifarious constellations of connections and resources that structure the lives of individuals, but also for understanding how these connections are related to the social, cultural, ideological, and economic formations that structure the “information age.”
