  • How We Became Legion: Burke's Identification and Anonymous By
    How We Became Legion: Burke's Identification and Anonymous by Débora Cristina Ramos Antunes da Silva A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in English - Rhetoric and Communication Design Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Débora Cristina Ramos Antunes da Silva 2013 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis presents a study of how identification, according to Kenneth Burke's theory, can be observed in the media-related practices promoted by the cyber-activist collective Anonymous. Identification is the capacity of community-building through the use of shared interests. Burke affirms that, as human beings are essentially social, identification is the very aim of any human interaction. Cyber-activism deeply relies on this capacity to promote and legitimise its campaigns. In the case of Anonymous, the collective became extremely popular and is now a frequent presence even in street protests, usually organised online, around the world. Here, I argue that this power was possible through the use of identification, which helped attract a large number of individuals to the collective. Anonymous was particularly skilled in its capacity to create an ideology for each campaign, which worked well to set up a perfect enemy who should be fought against by any people, despite their demographic or social status. Other forms of identification were also present and important.

In doing so we consider Literature. Origins. the variety of languages, cultural backgrounds, cultural heritages, and contexts in which Development. digital literature has been created. The article is divided into five sections: a brief World. history of electronic literature in general (however, we must admit that this section has a very ethnocentric point of view) and then four other sections divided into North American, Latin American, European (Russia included), and Arab Electronic Literature. Due to the lack of information, there is no section devoted to Electronic Literature in Asia, although a few texts will be mentioned. We are aware of the limits of this division and of the problems it can create, however, we thought it was the easiest way to shortly map out the origins of electronic literature and its development in different countries and continents. The article shows how some countries have developed their interest in and creation of electronic literature almost simultaneously, while others, just because of their own cultural background and/or contexts (also political and economic contexts and backgrounds), have only recently discovered electronic literature, or accepted it as a new form of the literary genre.

  • Digital Rhetoric: Toward an Integrated Theory
    TECHNICAL COMMUNICATION QUARTERLY, 14(3), 319–325 Copyright © 2005, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. Digital Rhetoric: Toward an Integrated Theory James P. Zappen Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute This article surveys the literature on digital rhetoric, which encompasses a wide range of issues, including novel strategies of self-expression and collaboration, the characteristics, affordances, and constraints of the new digital media, and the forma- tion of identities and communities in digital spaces. It notes the current disparate na- ture of the field and calls for an integrated theory of digital rhetoric that charts new di- rections for rhetorical studies in general and the rhetoric of science and technology in particular. Theconceptofadigitalrhetoricisatonceexcitingandtroublesome.Itisexcitingbe- causeitholdspromiseofopeningnewvistasofopportunityforrhetoricalstudiesand troublesome because it reveals the difficulties and the challenges of adapting a rhe- torical tradition more than 2,000 years old to the conditions and constraints of the new digital media. Explorations of this concept show how traditional rhetorical strategies function in digital spaces and suggest how these strategies are being reconceived and reconfiguredDo within Not these Copy spaces (Fogg; Gurak, Persuasion; Warnick; Welch). Studies of the new digital media explore their basic characteris- tics, affordances, and constraints (Fagerjord; Gurak, Cyberliteracy; Manovich), their opportunities for creating individual identities (Johnson-Eilola; Miller; Turkle), and their potential for building social communities (Arnold, Gibbs, and Wright; Blanchard; Matei and Ball-Rokeach; Quan-Haase and Wellman). Collec- tively, these studies suggest how traditional rhetoric might be extended and trans- formed into a comprehensive theory of digital rhetoric and how such a theory might contribute to the larger body of rhetorical theory and criticism and the rhetoric of sci- ence and technology in particular.

    CURRICULUM VITAE last updated June 2013 Sue Thomas, PhD www.suethomas.net [email protected] Narrative Summary I have been writing about computers and the internet since the late 1980s. My books include ‘Technobiophilia: nature and cyberspace (2013), a study of the biophilic relationship between nature and technology, Hello World: travels in virtuality (2004), a travelogue/memoir of life online, and Correspondence (1992), short-listed for the Arthur C. Clarke Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. In 1995 I found the pioneering trAce Online Writing Centre, an early global online community based at Nottingham Trent University which ran for ten years. From 2005-2013 I was Professor of New Media in the Institute of Creative Technologies at De Montfort University where I researched biophilia, social media, transliteracy, transdisciplinarity and future foresight, as well as running innovative projects like the NESTA-funded Amplified Leicester, and the development of the DMU Transdisciplinary Common Room, a collaborative space for cross-faculty working. To date I have received funding from Arts Council England, the Arts and Humanities Research Board, the British Academy, the British Council, the EU, the Higher Education Innovation Fund, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, NESTA and many others. My partners have included commercial companies, universities, arts organisations, local authorities and colleagues in Sweden, Finland, France, Australia and the USA. I left De Montfort University in June 2013 to focus on writing and consultancy and I am currently researching future forecasting in nature, technology and well-being. I want to know what practical steps we might take to ensure that our digital lives are healthy, mindful and productive.

  • Inventing Computational Rhetoric
    INVENTING COMPUTATIONAL RHETORIC By Michael W. Wojcik A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Digital Rhetoric and Professional Writing — Master of Arts 2013 ABSTRACT INVENTING COMPUTATIONAL RHETORIC by Michael W. Wojcik Many disciplines in the humanities are developing “computational” branches which make use of information technology to process large amounts of data algorithmically. The field of computational rhetoric is in its infancy, but we are already seeing interesting results from applying the ideas and goals of rhetoric to text processing and related areas. After considering what computational rhetoric might be, three approaches to inventing computational rhetorics are presented: a structural schema, a review of extant work, and a theoretical exploration. Copyright by MICHAEL W. WOJCIK 2013 For Malea iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Above all else I must thank my beloved wife, Malea Powell, without whose prompting this thesis would have remained forever incomplete. I am also grateful for the presence in my life of my terrific stepdaughter, Audrey Swartz, and wonderful granddaughter Lucille. My thesis committee, Dean Rehberger, Bill Hart-Davidson, and John Monberg, pro- vided me with generous guidance and inspiration. Other faculty members at Michigan State who helped me explore relevant ideas include Rochelle Harris, Mike McLeod, Joyce Chai, Danielle Devoss, and Bump Halbritter. My previous academic program at Miami University did not result in a degree, but faculty there also contributed greatly to my the- oretical understanding, particularly Susan Morgan, Mary-Jean Corbett, Brit Harwood, J. Edgar Tidwell, Lori Merish, Vicki Smith, Alice Adams, Fran Dolan, and Keith Tuma.

  • 9. the Rhetoric, Science, and Technology of 21St Century Collaboration
    9. The Rhetoric, Science, and Technology of 21st Century Collaboration Ann Hill Duin University of Minnesota Jason Tham Texas Tech University Isabel Pedersen Ontario Tech University Abstract: We contend that collaboration is an imperative disciplinary as- sumption in technical and professional communication (TPC). Theorists, researchers, and practitioners grapple with ever-changing modes and models for collaborative work in academia, industry, and with communities. Tech- nical and professional communicators today must be prepared to collaborate with engineers, subject matter experts, and programmers; they must be adept at using collaborative software and working with global virtual teams. The purpose of this chapter is to synthesize the rhetoric, science, and technology of collaboration to consolidate a guiding framework for understanding, teaching, and practicing TPC collaboration in the 21st century and beyond. This unified framework provides guidance from which to structure one’s own collaboration and the collaborative projects we assign throughout our curriculum. We discuss collaborative software and team communication platforms and share example projects for preparing students for collaborative and global workplaces. Keywords: collaboration, rhetoric, technology, platforms, global virtual teams Key Takeaways: Collaboration across local and global contexts is an imperative disciplinary assumption in technical and professional communication (TPC). TPC instructors must prepare students for the collaborative frameworks and tools that

  • Learning As You Go: Inventing Pedagogies for Electronic Literature
    Learning as you go: Inventing Pedagogies for Electronic Literature. In a field like electronic literature, which is both well developed and always emerging, most teachers have faced the challenge of teaching material that is regarded as “marginal” within the Humanities but relevant in the classroom. Though the scholars that circulate around the organization tend to be very interested in literary approaches, most have found themselves working in roundabout ways, slipping electronic literature into literature surveys, media studies, fine arts, and computer science classrooms. Indeed, as Maria Engberg notes in her survey of electronic literature pedagogy in Europe, there are a range of institutional obstacles to the teaching of electronic literature, and these obstacles differ depending on national, institutional, and disciplinary contexts. Citing Jorgen Schafer’s experience teaching eliterature in Germany, Engberg points to the various places where electronic literature can fit into a broader curriculum: “1) literary studies; 2) communications or media studies; 3) art and design schools or creative writing programs; and 4) computer science departments.”i In response to the scant attention to electronic literature in German academic settings, Shafer’s recommendation is “to ‘reanimate’ the so-called Allgemeine Literaturwissenschaft (or ‘general study of literature’) of the 1970s and 1980s in German universities.”ii The conclusion reflected broadly across the various approaches in Engberg’s survey is that the electronic literature teacher must

This field has existed for over six decades, descending from clearly identified lineages (combinatorial writing and constrained writing, fragmentary writing, sound and visual writing…). The terminology varies, and digital, electronic, and computer-based literature are all commonly used. Yet most critics in the field are in agreement on the distinction between the two principal forms of literature relying on digital media: digitized literature and true digital literature (even if the boundary between the two is sometimes rather blurred, perhaps increasingly so).

    Proceedings | “Netizens of the World #NOW: Elevating Critical Thinking through Language and Literature” | ISBN 978-602-50956-4-1 THE EMERGENCE OF CYBER LITERATURE: A CHALLENGE TO TEACH LITERATURE FROM TEXT TO HYPERTEXT Deri Sis Nanda [email protected] Susanto Susanto [email protected] Bandar Lampung University, Indonesia Abstract In a digital era, people live in a cyberspace that they become part of modern society. The information that they have acquired is from the World Wide Web (WWW). This WWW has become an important medium for people in the world to disseminate information. Because of the technology of Web, cyber literature emerges. This study talks about the emergence of cyber literature which changes the way of reading and teaching in various institutions. It becomes a challenge for people who teach literature because they should leave the printed text and move to the digital text as called hypertext. The existence of cyber literature also drives them change their style to analyze and criticize the work of literature. So, it becomes a challenge for them to teach literature from text to hypertext. Keywords: cyber literature, emergence, text, hypertext, cyberspace, challenge, development. Introduction The influence of technology changes all aspects of people’s lives in the world. They become modern society who always get information and do communication in a virtual space. The influence can be seen in work places, homes and teaching institutions. Most of them acquire the information from the World Wide Web (WWW). It is a space for the users to read, write, and access the information with devices connected with the internet.

Hawhee’s book is an excellent study of Burke’s career-long preoccupation with hu- mans as “bodies that learn language.” Hawhee selectively tracks this pre- occupation from Burke’s earliest fiction through his engagements with bod- ily mysticism, drug research, endocrinology, constitutional medicine, and gesture-speech evolution to his final recapitulations organized around the opposition between nonsymbolic motion and symbolic action.

  • Electronic Literature in Ireland
    Electronic Literature in Ireland James O’Sullivan Published in the Electronic Book Review at: https://electronicbookreview.com/essay/electronic-literature-in-ireland/ Licensed under: Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License *** Literary Ireland has long embraced experimentation.1 So, in an artistic community that typically gravitates towards the new, it is culturally anomalous to see that electronic literature2 has failed to flourish. Ireland, sitting at the nexus between the North American and European e-lit communities, should be playing a more active role in what is becoming an increasingly significant literary movement. This article provides a much needed account of the field of electronic literature as it exists at present within an Irish context, simultaneously exploring those circumstances which have contributed to its successes and failures. Doing so rectifies a major gap in the national media archaeologies of this field, presenting an incomplete yet untold culturally specific literary history. While a complete literary history of Ireland’s e-lit community3 cannot be accomplished within the constraints of this single essay—there will inevitably be limitations in scope, practitioners I have failed to acknowledge, writings I have missed in my review—what can be achieved here is the beginning of a discourse which will hopefully flourish in years to come. Electronic Literature as Community What makes for a literary movement? In many respects, literary movements are, like any cohort, little more than the coming together of like-minded individuals who share a common interest in a particular ideology or practice—communities are about a shared culture, some elusive thing that binds.
