Abstract

New sociomaterial and performative directions in literacy research on digital technologies and play in early childhoods may complicate the established concept of digital play. This study contributes to this line of research by empirically expanding on the concept of the postdigital. In the study, postdigital refers to how both “digital” and “non-digital” agentic materialities are allowed to act messily in contemporary early childhood play, unsettling the notion of the digital as a discrete category. By analyzing a case of two five-year-old children playing Minecraft with wooden and synthetic blocks in a preschool common room within an agential realist framework, we find that a postdigital play practice is performed through playful, sociomaterial configurations of “joining,” “building,” and “not running out of things.”

玩《我的世界》：幼儿后数字游戏

关于数字技术和儿童早期游戏的识字研究中的新社会材料和表演方向可能会使数字游戏的既定概念复杂化。本研究通过对后数字概念的实证扩展，为这一研究做出了贡献。在这项研究中，后数字指的是“数字”和“非数字”代理物质在当代幼儿游戏中的混乱行为，扰乱了数字作为一个离散类别的概念。通过分析一个案例，两个五岁的孩子在一个代理现实主义的框架下，在幼儿园的公共休息室里用木制和合成积木玩《我的世界》，我们发现后数字游戏实践是通过“加入”、“建造”和“不用完东西”的有趣的社会物质配置来进行的

期刊介绍： Journal of Early Childhood Literacy is a fully peer-reviewed international journal. Since its foundation in 2001 JECL has rapidly become a distinctive, leading voice in research in early childhood literacy, with a multinational range of contributors and readership. The main emphasis in the journal is on papers researching issues related to the nature, function and use of literacy in early childhood. This includes the history, development, use, learning and teaching of literacy, as well as policy and strategy. Research papers may address theoretical, methodological, strategic or applied aspects of early childhood literacy and could be reviews of research issues. JECL is both a forum for debate about the topic of early childhood literacy and a resource for those working in the field. Literacy is broadly defined; JECL focuses on the 0-8 age range. Our prime interest in empirical work is those studies that are situated in authentic or naturalistic settings; this differentiates the journal from others in the area. JECL, therefore, tends to favour qualitative work but is also open to research employing quantitative methods. The journal is multi-disciplinary. We welcome submissions from diverse disciplinary backgrounds including: education, cultural psychology, literacy studies, sociology, anthropology, historical and cultural studies, applied linguistics and semiotics.
