Text of the page (random words):
not only of the role of pedagogy in this relationship but the all too important lab spaces like the digital writing and research lab at ut austin that were central to these foundations places where graduate students and faculty alike could build tools toys and even techniques for writing writing instruction and improving the writing process i paired that c c marriage with the developments of computational literacies new media literacies and digital literacies working through what i like to call the cindy selfe family tree stuart selber johndan johnson eilola anne wysocki cheryl ball and so on this of course was not meant to reduce these scholars work to only this frame but rather as a way of bridging into a conversation on multimedia composition and more specifically the varieties of emerging digital pedagogy associated with or even spearheading alternative media writing practices this kind frame is in many respects a fairly established perspective in composition studies but if you do digital rhetoric and you only look here you are missing like 80 of the conversation for example you can t talk about digital rhetoric without paying homage in some fashion to the new media conversation particularly those folks whose work on media studies aligns with or contribute to various rhetorical practices and consideration this includes obvious staples like the work of jay david bolter and richard grusin richard lanham who coined the phrase digital rhetoric liz losh who extended lanham s phrase and lev manovich but it also includes the works of friedrich kittler marshall mcluhan walter ong and many others who helped provide theoretical frames for understanding new media and our roles actions processes in relationship to new media and within this new media frame particularly given its orientation toward the visual there also resides a series of critical threads back to a set of conversations on visual rhetoric at this point i had said quite a bit but in truth i wasn t anywhere near close to an adequate response on how digital rhetoric takes shape within the composition studies frame i hadn t mentioned the work of n kathrine hayles a staple in this conversation for sure i hadn t mentioned sherry turkle or lisa gitelman or henry jenkins all of whom contribute mightily here the roots simply were spreading sprawling spiraling but rather than pull it in i let the conductive connections run digital rhetoric particularly post the techno explosion of 2004 2008 also includes considerations of social media and online digital culture studies also its grounds in building tools in computer labs relates it to computer studies as well as to the tool builder roots of early diy digital humanists there are also conversations on coding programming and algorithms all computational in nature yet increasingly exposed as being rhetorical as well entire conversations i hadn t covered other that to mention them in passing ranging from folks established figures like ian bogost to emerging figures like annette vee there was also bogost s work on procedural rhetoric and persuasive media and all these things made me think the user end considerations with usability studies needing to be accounted for in growing milieu of how digital rhetoric is taking shape user experience design opened me to technical communication which bounced me on over to issues of design user information etc and much of those conversations connected back to visual rhetoric to the marriage of computers and composition and to the development of digital research tools built by rhetoric scholars interested in studying the actions and interactions of human technology assemblages the conversation just kept getting more and more out of control finally i quickly gestured toward new areas of consideration from 3d printing new materialism and even the object oriented ontology conversation to matters of digital aesthetics ranging from james bridle s work on new aestheticism to the kind of functional aesthetics gestured toward in the works of aimee knight or cheryl ball and ryan moeller s i needed a breath it was just running running running out everywhere inhale exhale i stared at the audience they seemed to need a minute my face was flush with the energy of flow the sprawling flow i thought it might help to draw a picture to map out the emergence but in a moment of clarity i realized the interconnectedness of all the parts was going to make the image layered busy sloppy plus there was only had one color of chalk damn it i didn t even get to gregory ulmer s work how is it possible that i left out the entire conversation on electracy seriously that stuff is central to my own research my own scholarly identity but rather than picking up with ulmer and staring off again i concluded with the following and that folks is like the rough introduction of an elevator talk on where digital rhetoric comes from in composition studies of course that too wasn t true i mean despite my efforts and despite my acknowledgment of it being a rough introduction how does one really capture or encapsulate the ways in which digital rhetoric has taken shape in any field let alone composition studies which has a long history of not staying within disciplinary boundaries i sat back it was emily s turn to try the conversation share this share on x

april 9 11 2015 the 2 5 day event is designed to foster conversations at the intersections of rhetoric media and technology and seeks to 1 explore perspectives and definitions of digital rhetoric and 2 articulate the ways in which digital rhetoric connects to yet is distinct from digital humanities the conference will include a mix of invited speakers listed below and 7 9 selected presenters from an open call for proposals the goal is to create a setting in which established and emerging scholars can critically explore the implications possibilities and gradations of digital rhetoric for more

connecting dr dh supercomputing communities at iu posted by justinhodgson 0 last week the department of english brought virginia kuhn to campus kuhn is an associate professor in the division of media arts practice in the school of cinematic arts at the university of southern california she is to put it mildly a veritable tour de force when it comes to the intersections of digital rhetoric and digital humanities with interests ranging from visual literacy and composition to cinematics and big data while on campus kuhn gave several talks and or spoke with several groups the first engagement on her schedule was a presentation to department faculty about practices for recognizing and assessing digital scholarship particularly for tenure and promotion purposes specifically kuhn helped provide a language for a more nuanced assessment of multimedia works using what has come to be known as the kuhn method c f ball kuhn walked the faculty through her heuristic of conceptual core research component form and content and creative realization see kairos 14 2 for more on this frame using example works she helped the faculty develop a tentative vocabulary for approaching multimedia digital scholarship answering questions about praxis along the way in addition to speaking to the faculty kuhn also had a conversation with iu s hastac scholars and the graduate course introduction to digital arts and humanities both events were held at the institute for digital arts and humanities where kuhn spent time talking about her own work as a digital scholar particularly her groundbreaking digital dissertation in 2005 kuhn produced and defended one of the first ever born digital dissertations in the united states titled ways of composing visual literacy in the digital age it was a work that not only challenged archiving and copyright conventions but exposed many issues with the university dissertational process and or how we understand the function and role of the dissertation as an artifact that is part of the doctoral granting apparatus her dissertation degree culminated in a feature article in the chronicle of higher education who offered a journalistic take on the academic and political tensions at stake in kuhn s situation and dissertation kuhn also talked about the scalar program which the idah graduate course is using pedagogically kuhn was the first to publish using scalar her 2011 article introduction to filmic texts and the rise of the fifth estate was published in the international journal of learning and media mit press that work not only explores the potential of films serving as a textbook for undergraduate curricula but demonstrates a thickness and a hyperthreading technique central to the representational affordances of digital media as part of her main act on campus kuhn presented as part of the catapult center for digital humanities computational analysis of texts speaker series in that talk she focused on her large scale video analytics project the video analysis tableau the vat which is the recipient of the national science foundation s extreme science and engineering discovery environment grant and has recently been reclassified under novel and innovative projects for the nsf s xsede program the goal of the project is to use supercomputing to make video archives as searchable and navigable as text based archives blending both the on demand access central to humanities computing with the batch computing models of traditional supercomputing applications in her final act on campus kuhn spoke with the english department s digital pedagogy digital humanities reading group as part of that meeting the graduate students and kuhn discussed her co authored article with vicki callahan nomadic archives remix and the drift to praxis part of brett d hirsch s edited collection digital humanities pedagogy that meeting not only touched on issues of nomadic drifting and remix but also included an informal discussion about being on the job market and what it means to identify as a digital humanist digital scholar altogether kuhn s visit to iu helped establish many new cross campus connections and reestablish many of the values central to the humanities though recast and updated in terms of the digital and twenty first century mediascapes her presence brought together all ends of the digital humanities spectrum on
