以下案例研究来自阿富汗首都喀布尔一个31口之家的普什图人家庭，并与该家庭的一名成员合作进行了研究。阿富汗是世界上识字率最低的国家之一，识字率为28.1% （UNICEF, 2004）。寻找一种方法来考虑“日常的象征和物质交易为重新思考人们如何赋予他们的经历和声音意义和伦理实质提供了基础”（吉鲁和西蒙，1989），这在阿富汗的背景下是正确的，在那里，提高教育和识字机会的雄心勃勃的议程必须在现有文化中找到根源，家庭使用的应对机制，以及有限的识字和学习资源。本案例研究揭示的问题表明，验证阿富汗的文学传统具有赋予新学习者权力的潜力，可以利用家庭网络支持的识字实践。
The following case study is drawn from a Pashtun family of 31 people living together in a house in Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan, and was collaboratively researched with a member of the household. Afghanistan has one of the world’s lowest literacy rates, at 28.1 % literacy (UNICEF, 2004). Finding a way to take into consideration “the symbolic and material transactions of the everyday provide the basis for rethinking how people give meaning and ethical substance to their experiences and voices” (Giroux and Simon, 1989), rings true in the context of Afghanistan, where an ambitious agenda for raising access to education and literacy must find roots in the existing culture, coping mechanisms used by families, and the limited literacy and learning resources to which they have access. The issues brought to light in this case study suggest that validating Afghanistan’s literary traditions holds potential for empowering new learners, tapping into literacy practices supported by family networks.
