Abstract

In this article, we describe a year‐long superhero storytelling project we facilitated with youth in a midwestern middle school. In this project, students read Miles Morales: The Ultimate Spiderman , designed superhero stories set in their community, and presented artistic representations of their stories to their families and peers. We present three episodes of mobile storytelling from this project, focusing on Aidan, one of eighteen youth participants. Using tools from theories of transliteracies and critical imagination, we illustrate how Aidan's embodied movement and play constituted critically literate acts. A transliteracies lens oriented toward critical imagination reveals how Aidan fluidly moved between fictional and real worlds to reimagine his experienced realities. These findings indicate a need to expand what counts as literate activity in schools.
与 BBoy 共舞:超级英雄故事中的译文和批判性想象力
在这篇文章中,我们介绍了我们与中西部一所中学的青少年合作开展的为期一年的超级英雄讲故事项目。在这个项目中,学生们阅读了《终极蜘蛛侠》中的迈尔斯-莫拉莱斯(Miles Morales:终极蜘蛛侠》,设计了以他们所在社区为背景的超级英雄故事,并将他们的故事以艺术形式呈现给家人和同伴。我们将以 18 名青少年参与者之一艾丹(Aidan)为中心,介绍该项目的三个移动故事集。我们利用译写理论和批判性想象力的工具,说明了艾丹的移动和游戏是如何构成批判性识字行为的。以批判性想象力为导向的翻译学视角揭示了艾丹如何在虚构世界和现实世界之间游刃有余地重新想象他所经历的现实。这些研究结果表明,有必要扩大学校扫盲活动的范围。
