Abstract	What does it mean to consider the 'materiality' and 'mediality' of school textbooks? Textbooks and other educational media are generally thought to shape society through the content they provide for readers: the information, issues, topics, and assignments they contain. Textbooks' salience lies, however, not only in what they include but also in how they normalise ways of knowing, ways of being, and ways of understanding as common sense and/or as desirable. This chapter first sketches the concept of mediality and then describes three different methodological/theoretical approaches to exploring the mediality of the textbook. The approaches attend to the (1) linguistic, (2) multimodal, and (3) material dimensions of the medium. The chapter concludes by pointing to areas for further research, focusing on interdisciplinary dialogue, non- coherence, and digital (im)materiality.
