melwilI threatened, now here it is.
I have a reading for one of my classes tomorrow. And since you lot on my friends list are rather intelligent, I challenge you to unravel some of the following sentences from the aforementioned reading. Failing that, find some wacky jargon-filled sentences of your own and join the fun!
Multiliteracies: literacy learning and the design of social futures by the New London Group
"An order of discourse is the structured set of conventions associated with semiotic activity (including use of language) in a given social space - a particular society, or even a particular institution such as a school or workplace, or more loosely structured spaces of ordinary life encapsulated in the notion of different lifeworlds."
"Available Designs also include another element; the linguistic and discoursal experience of those involved in Designing, in which one moment of Designing is continuous with and a continuation of particular histories."
"As for orders of discourse, the generative interrelation of discourses in a social context, their constituant genres can be partly characterised in terms of the particular social relations and subject positions they articulate, whereas discourses are particular knowledges (constructions of the world) articulated with particular subject positions."
"The term hybridity highlights the mechanisms of creativity and of culture-as-process as particularly salient in contemporary society."
