WEEK 8
How to prepare for class:
- Read! There are four readings for this week, all offering very different takes on what counts as writing and how we should think about writing. Please read with that focus—“How does this reading construe writing? What is at stake in this construction of writing?”—and come to class prepared to discuss still more consequences of our definitions and understandings of writing. (Note that the writings come out of very different contexts: traditions of erudite and rich French scholarship, U.S. popular publication, U.S. social sciences empirical approaches, U.S. understandings of how we can learn about a discipline through encyclopedias…)
- On your blog: Please write a longish, coherent-enough-for-others-to-read post on the questions below. Draw on the readings for this week and on past readings — but also draw on your own experiences (as in our D2L discussion last week).
- How do I understand relations between writing and the technologies we use for writing and for publishing writing?
- Wiki: An entry on each reading, please, composed by all of you.
- Also on your blog, where are you in your thinking about your multimodal project and your seminar paper?
All the blog and wiki posts are due no later than 5pm on October 23.
Thanks!
