"Literacy: the ability to read and interpret the written word. What is
post-literacy? It is the condition of semi-literacy, where most people
can read and write to some extent, but where the literate sensibility no
longer occupies a central position in culture, society, and politics.
Post-literacy occurs when the ability to comprehend the written word
decays. If post-literacy is now the ground of society questions arise:
what happens to the reader, the writer, and the book in post-literary
environment? What happens to thinking, resistance, and dissent when the
ground becomes wordless?" --Bruce Powe
Something to ruminate on.
