Dalla alfabetizzazione mediatica all’alfabetizzazione transmediale
From Media Literacy to Transmedia Literacy
Abstract [ita]
Il presente articolo presenta un nuovo approccio all’alfabetizzazione mediatica fondato sulle culture collaborative e i contenuti generati o condivisi dai giovani nelle reti sociali e i nuovi media interattivi. In questo contesto l’articolo definisce il concetto di “alfabetizzazione transmediale” (transmedia literacy) e presenta gli obbiettivi, le metodologie e i risultati di uno studio sulle competenze transmediali (transmedia skills) sviluppate dagli adolescenti al di fuori dalla scuola. La ricerca, portata avanti in 8 paesi fra il 2015 e il 2018, ha prodotto una mappa delle competenze transmediali e, allo stesso tempo, ha sviluppato un kit per introdurre e recuperare all’interno dell’aula le conoscenze e le pratiche mediatiche sviluppate dai giovani negli ambienti informali.
Abstract [eng]
This article introduces a new approach to media literacy based on collaborative cultures and contents generated or shared by young people in social networks and new interactive media. In this context, the article defines ‘transmedia literacy’ and presents the objectives, methodologies and outcomes of a research on teens’ transmedia skills developed in informal learning environments. The research, carried out in 8 countries between 2015-18, produced a map of transmedial skills and, at the same time, developed a kit to introduce and “exploit” in the classroom the media knowledge and practices developed by young people in informal learning environments.
