Jan Swearingen Committee Members, M. Jimmie Killingsworth Amy Earhart James Arnt Aune Head of Department, Nancy Warren August 2012 Major Subject: English iii ABSTRACT From Writers and Readers to Participants: A Rhetorical/Historical Perspective on Authorship in Social Media. (August 2012) Candice Chovanec Melzow, B.A., The University of Houston-Victoria; M.A., The University of Houston-Victoria Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. C. Jan Swearingen Despite the recent growth of social media, rhetorical theory which addresses authorship in this realm has been slow to develop. Static terms such as “reader,” “writer,” and “author” are often used to refer to the roles occupied by users in social media, although these terms are insufficient to describe the dynamic rhetorical exchange which occurs there. The goal of this dissertation is to use rhetorical theory to develop an updated terminology to describe the model(s) adopted by creators of social media content. First, past models of authorship are surveyed to locate rhetorical precedents for the model(s) that currently exists in social media. After comparing potential historical precedents to the overall process of content creation in social media, the term “participant” is adopted to describe the roles which users assume when creating digital content. Although “participant” initially appears to be an appropriate term, this notion is complicated when one considers the asymmetrical roles adopted on a smaller scale in genres such as social networking and blogs. To determine if the “participant” model is still applicable in such cases, an examination of authorship as it occurs in the genre of iv women’s personal blogs is conducted. An analysis of the terms that bloggers use to refer to themselves as writers reveals that bloggers situate themselves in roles through which they claim to speak for a group such as storyteller and truth-teller. Subsequent examination of the interactions between bloggers and other participants reveals that bloggers negotiate authority with readers in a variety of ways. By using such strategies, bloggers attempt to situate themselves as community members in a manner which aligns with the “participant” model. The participant role adopted in women’s personal blogs helps this previously marginalized group to establish a public presence and may also serve as a precedent for models which could be adopted by learners in the composition classroom as they strive to break free from the author/student writer binary and to establish themselves as socially-engaged participants. v DEDICATION To my parents, Mark and Lisa Chovanec, and to my husband, Billy vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee chair, Dr. Swearingen, and my committee members, Dr. Aune, Dr. Earhart, and Dr. Killingsworth, for their guidance and support throughout this project. Their generosity of time and their willingness to provide insightful feedback have been instrumental in the completion of this dissertation. Thanks also go to my friends and colleagues in the Texas A&M University Department of English as well as to the University Writing Center Dissertation Group for providing feedback during various stages of this project. I also want to extend my gratitude to friends outside of the department who provided wonderful distractions when I needed them most and to various family members who have been a tremendous source of support during this long journey. I am also grateful to my canine companions, Gypsy and Sadie, who managed to absolve many trying times with just the wag of a tail. Finally, thank you to my parents, Mark and Lisa Chovanec, for their encouragement and long-standing commitment to my academic success, and to my partner, Billy, for his unwavering support and patience. None of this would have been possible without you, my love. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT .............................................................................................................. iii DEDICATION .......................................................................................................... v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ...................................................................................... vi TABLE OF CONTENTS .......................................................................................... vii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION: THE RHETORICAL SITUATION IN SOCIAL MEDIA ................................................................................................. 1 Blogs as Prototype .......................................................................... 6 Theoretical Approach ..................................................................... 11 Pedagogical Concerns .................................................................... 13 II A RHETORICAL HISTORY OF AUTHORSHIP .............................. 21 Literature Review ........................................................................... 22 Orality and Early Writing ............................................................... 27 The Revitalization of Literacy ........................................................ 37 The Rise of Print ............................................................................ 43 The Impartial Spectator and the Romantic Genius ........................ 45 Authorship Theory in the Twentieth Century ............................... 52 The Postmodern Perspective .......................................................... 54 Digital Authorship: New Media, New Models ............................. 55 III THE PARTICIPANT ROLE IN SOCIAL MEDIA ............................. 59 The Roles of the Participant in Social Media ................................. 60 Participant Identity and Authenticity in Social Media ................... 72 Conclusion ...................................................................................... 87 IV BLOGS: MEDIUM AND METHODOLOGY .................................... 92 A Note on Genre ............................................................................ 94 Blogs: Derivative Features ............................................................. 96 viii Blog Genres .................................................................................... 102 Precursor Genre: The Diary ........................................................... 107 The Marginalization of Women’s Personal Blogs ......................... 110 Sample Selection and Methodology ............................................... 118 Ethical Considerations .................................................................... 124 V CASE STUDY: PARTICIPANT ROLES IN WOMEN’S PERSONAL BLOGS ................................................................................................. 125 Blogs as Digital Communities ........................................................ 126 Bloggers’ Terms of Self Reference ................................................ 129 Blogger as Empowered Writer ....................................................... 132 Blogger as Inferior Writer .............................................................. 151 Blogger-Reader Interactions .......................................................... 156 Conclusion ...................................................................................... 167 VI CONCLUSION: MARGINALIZED WRITERS AND POTENTIAL PARTICIPANTS .................................................................................. 171 Pedagogical Implications ............................................................... 173 Potential Participants ...................................................................... 177 Conclusions .................................................................................... 182 REFERENCES .......................................................................................................... 184 VITA ......................................................................................................................... 209 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION: THE RHETORICAL SITUATION IN SOCIAL MEDIA Contrary to Barthes’ proclamation, the author is not dead. In fact, she is alive and well and probably has a witty blog which inspired the publication of her first bestseller. Blogging is one of many genres of digital, social media to take the world by storm in recent years. “Social media” is defined as “a group of Internet-based applications that build upon the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of User Generated Content” (UGC) (Kaplan and Haenlein 60). Examples of social media include social networking (Facebook), social bookmarking (Delicious), blogging (Blogger, WordPress), microblogging (Twitter), social news (Reddit), social media sharing

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

In the case of this paper we are looking at mothers online and the venue is the mamasphere, the virtual space where mothers are exchanging information through blogs. In interacting in this manner, however, are women engaging in a feminist endeavour? I approached this question through an interdisciplinary review of the research and writing available on mommyblogs against a backdrop of feminist theory of motherhood and by adding the findings from my own research on mommyblogs about breastfeeding. My findings indicate that

Be patient, and understand that the blogosphere they enter is entirely real, and actually does make them happier and more productive in the end. Though, bloggers don’t measure “productive” in quite the same way as the rest of the world does, i.e., get to starred posts in Google Reader, check TweetDeck for Mentions, commit to at least five #FF, submit to McSweeney’s. Again. -Alexandra Rosas, Good Day Regular People, from her post “When Someone You Love Has a Blog, Part 1” Alexandra Rosas published her three-part blog post, “When Someone You Love Has A Blog,” to explain to husbands and family members the peculiar habits of Mom Bloggers, a subset of online writers who have become famous, collectively, for engaging thousands of readers with their musings on motherhood and domesticity. Mom Bloggers like Ree Drummond, Heather Armstrong and Kelly Oxford have established lucrative 1 media careers after humble starts writing earnest personal stories for a tiny audience of friends and family. Rosas’ witty series hints at the methodical work, above and beyond writing, that Mom Bloggers do to attract a following. Close to four million women in North America identify as Mommy Bloggers, and about 14 percent of women in the United States read or contribute to these blogs, according to media consumer watchers Nielsen and Arbitron. Women often prefer this personal narrative style of journalism to traditional media.
