University of Florida Thesis Or Dissertation Formatting WRITING, PLACE, NETWORK: SCALE AND DIGITAL RHETORIC By MADISON P. JONES A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2020 © 2020 Madison P. Jones To Jane, my network ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am deeply grateful to my advisor, Sid Dobrin for his constant encouragement, enduring patience, thoughtful feedback, and mentoring. His advice to graduate students at orientation was to get out and explore the areas around Gainesville, and following that advice brought me to this project. Raúl Sánchez always asked the toughest questions and challenged me to dig deeper into the theory. Anastasia Ulanowicz helped me to clarify my project and refine my prose. I am also grateful to Robert Walker, who led me to Howard T. Odum’s work and encouraged my interdisciplinary interests in ecology and geography and to Cynthia Barnett who taught me much about Florida’s important role in the history of environmentalism and showed me how great teachers can take learning beyond the traditional borders of the classroom. I am so fortunate to have undertaken this research alongside my colleagues in the TRACE Innovation Lab, especially Jacob Greene, Aaron Beveridge, and Shannon Butts, who have read more than their share of my drafts, who helped me make my way through many meandering paths of thought, and who guided me through the rocky parts of this study. Thank you to Sean Morey and to John Tinnell, who blazed the trail and offered support and advice along the way. Thank you to Lee Rozelle, who has supported me since I was a budding ecocritic. I am so grateful to my father who taught me everything I know about trees and hard work and my mother who taught me to proofread and showed me what it means to be a teacher. Most of all, I would like to thank Jane, who challenges, encourages, and supports me always. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy WRITING, PLACE, NETWORK: SCALE AND DIGITAL RHETORIC By Madison P. Jones May 2020 Chair: Sidney I. Dobrin Major: English While writing takes place in networks which are always evolving, rhetoric and writing studies has traditionally engaged with place through the static and fixed models of Aristotelian commonplace topoi. In the face of large-scale environmental problems and with the rise of mobile writing technologies such as smartphones, this project argues that further attention should be paid by writing studies scholars to place as a network. Networked writing undercuts scalar definitions of place and it underwrites distinctions between local and global. Alongside a growing number of scholars who are reshaping the relationship between place and networked writing technologies, this project turns to the role of scale in shaping how place is imagined topologically. This project argues that topological structures for place are not sufficient, and argues for a choric and networked model

  • Rhetorical Gardening: Greening Composition
    Rhetorical Gardening: Greening Composition A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School Of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature of the College of Arts and Sciences by Carla Sarr June 2017 Master of Science in Teaching and Secondary Education, The New School Committee Chair: Laura R. Micciche Abstract Rhetorical Gardening: Greening Composition argues that the rhetorical understanding of landscapes offers a material site and a metaphor by which to broaden our understanding of rhetoric and composition, as well as increasing the rhetorical archive and opportunities for scholarship. An emphasis on material place in composition is of particular value as sustainability issues are among the toughest challenges college students will face in the years to come. Reading landscapes is an interpretive act central to meaningful social action. The dissertation argues that existing work in rhetorical theory and composition pedagogy has set the stage for an ecological turn in composition. Linking ecocomposition, sustainability, cultural geography, and literacy pedagogies, I trace the origins of my belief that the next manifestation of composition pedagogy is material, embodied, place-based, and firmly planted in the literal issues resulting from climate change. I draw upon historical gardens, landscapes composed by the homeless, community, commercial, and guerilla gardens to demonstrate the rhetorical capacity of landscapes in detail. Building from the argument that gardens can perform a rhetorical function, I spotlight gardeners who seek to move the readers of their texts to social action. Finally, I explore how the study of place can contribute to the pedagogy of composition.

  • “The Eagle Has Landed” Statue to Honor Apollo 11 Crew
    Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Unveils Moon Tree Garden, “The Eagle Has Landed” Statue to Honor Apollo 11 Crew CAPE CANAVERAL (July 12, 2019) – KENNEDY SPACE CENTER – Today, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex kicked off the Apollo 11 50th anniversary celebrations by unveiling the Moon Tree Garden, a dramatic new accent to the grounds of the Apollo/Saturn V Center. The garden, which features 12 trees grown from seeds that orbited the Moon, also includes a George Lundeen sculpture that depicts Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins in their space suits. The statue, titled “The Eagle has Landed,” is a gift to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex from Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans, the nation’s largest mortgage lender. “As the nation’s top mortgage lender, we treat the impossible as an opportunity,” said Casey Hurbis, chief marketing officer of Rocket Mortgage. “We presented this statue to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex to honor the courage and importance of the Apollo 11 mission, who achieved the impossible by landing man on the Moon and into the annals of history.” The Moon Trees were provided by Rosemary Roosa, daughter of veteran Apollo 14 astronaut Stuart Roosa, and president of the nonprofit Moon Tree Foundation. The foundation was created in honor of her father, who took seeds from loblolly pine, sycamore, sweet gum, redwood, and Douglas fir trees on his space mission as part of a joint U.S. Forest Service/NASA project. The seeds, which have all orbited the Moon, were later germinated and planted around the world to share the story of the mission.

  • Rehtinking Resistance: Race, Gender, and Place in the Fictive and Real Geographies of the American West
    REHTINKING RESISTANCE: RACE, GENDER, AND PLACE IN THE FICTIVE AND REAL GEOGRAPHIES OF THE AMERICAN WEST by TRACEY DANIELS LERBERG DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington May 2016 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Stacy Alaimo, Supervising Professor Neill Matheson Christopher Morris Kenneth Roemer Cedrick May, Texas Christian University Abstract Rethinking Resistance: Race, Gender, and Place in the Fictive and Real Geographies of the American West by Tracey Daniels Lerberg, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2016 Supervising Professor: Stacy Alaimo This project traces the history of the American West and its inhabitants through its literary, cinematic and cultural landscape, exploring the importance of public and private narratives of resistance, in their many iterations, to the perceived singular trajectory of white masculine progress in the American west. The project takes up the calls by feminist and minority scholars to broaden the literary history of the American West and to unsettle the narrative of conquest that has been taken up to enact a particular kind of imaginary perversely sustained across time and place. That the western heroic vision resonates today is perhaps no significant revelation; however, what is surprising is that their forward echoes pulsate in myriad directions, cascading over the stories of alternative voices, that seem always on the verge of slipping away from our collective memories, of ii being conquered again and again, of vanishing. But a considerable amount of recovery work in the past few decades has been aimed at revising the ritualized absences in the North American West to show that women, Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans and other others were never absent from this particular (his)story.
