Introduction / Literacy, reification and the dynamics of social interaction / Language and power in communities of practice / Mediating allegations of racism in a multiethnic London school : what speech communities and communities of practice can tell us about discourse and power / "I've picked some up from a colleague" : language, sharing and communities of practice in an institutional setting / The person in the doing : negotiating the experience of self / Communities of practice and learning communities : do bilingual co-workers learn in community? / Moving beyond communities of practice in adult basic education / 'Communities of practice' in higher education : useful heuristic or educational model? / Communities of practice, risk and Sellafield / Semiotic social spaces and affinity spaces : from the age of mythology to today's schools / David Barton and Karin Tusting -- David Barton and Mary Hamilton -- Karin Tusting -- Angela Creese -- Frances Rock -- Maria Clara Keating -- Deirdre Martin -- Steven Robert Harris and Nicola Shelswell -- Mary R.

"The concept of "communities of practice" has become an influential one in education, management and social sciences in recent years. This book consists of a series of studies by linguists and educational researchers, examining and developing aspects of the concept which have remained relatively unexplored. Framings provided by theories of language-in-use, literacy practices and discourse extend the concept, bringing to light issues around conflict, power and the significance of the broader social context which have been overlooked."--BOOK JACKET.
