I argue that the work of collectively reading this text, which itself offers a nuanced perspective on being and belonging, fostered a classroom community self-conscious about its own expectations for membership. Our process reinforced the constant interpretive encounter in graphic narratives between writing and image, facilitating in our class a critique of dominant modes of discourse and fostering a reading practice that helped us probe the limits of communal identity. This was not a process of affiliation with Bechdel’s persona, but a dialectic within the classroom of recognition and difference that ultimately binds communities of practice together. Moving beyond a hermeneutics of suspicion to a communal reading, our engagement with the text enabled members of the class to have both literary critical insights and deeply personal discoveries about the communities to which we willingly belong or into which we are placed. Ultimately, this essay recommends the generic affordances of the graphic narrative for this work, suggesting how communities of literary practice need to focus on texts that open modes of affiliation and recognition for diverse student populations.

First, this paper situates UX development work within the growing body of literature on social justice research within technical communication. Next, the author articulates points of tension and convergence between industry UX "best practices" and social justice UX centered projects in terms of both theory and application. Specifically, the author focuses on the differences of development cycles and user advocacy/representation in social justice UX contexts as opposed to more typical of UX development work. The author concludes the paper by articulating challenges and opportunities for UX developers interested in social justice communication design work.

AB - This paper reports on the results of an intensive application development workshop held in the summer of 2015 during which a group of thirteen researchers came together to explore the use of machine-learning algorithms in technical communication. To do this we analyzed Amazon.com consumer electronic product customer reviews to reevaluate a central concept in North American Genre Theory: stable genre structures arise from recurring social actions ([1][2][3][4][5]). We discovered evidence of genre hybridity in the signals of instructional genres embedded into customer reviews. Our paper discusses the creation of a prototype web application, "Use What You Choose" (UWYC), which sorts the natural language text of Amazon reviews into two categories: instructionally-weighed reviews (e.g., reviews that contain operational information about products) and non-instructionally-weighed reviews (those that evaluate the quality of the product). Our results contribute to rhetorical genre theory and offer ideas on applying genre theory to inform application design for users of information services.

Hayden White’s unique version of dialectics is such a notion. Dialectics expresses an awareness of the role of language in the systematic comprehension of reality by following a sequence of apprehensions: thus, a ‘dialectical narrativity’. An analysis of an episode in Jules Michelet’s medieval history suggests that dialectical narrativity was immanent in his presentation of historical understanding.

Cather’s literary maps represent the way that growing U.S. engagement with the world in the early twentieth century enables the protagonist, Claude, to develop a sense of purpose and agency and to recuperate his tarnished masculinity. Ultimately, One of Ours is best seen as Cather’s alternative to the isolationist visual rhetoric of Mercator projection maps, which were extremely popular in the early twentieth-century United States, particularly in schools.

T2 - Computers and Composition AB - Reporting on survey data from 1,366 students from seven colleges and universities, this article examines the self-reported writing choices of students as they compose different kinds of texts using a wide range of composing technologies, both traditional (i.e., paper, pencils, pens, etc.), and digital (i.e., cell phones, wikis, blogs, etc.). This analysis and discussion is part of the larger Revisualizing Composition study, which examines the writing lives of first-year students across multiple institution types throughout the United States. We focus especially on what appear to be, at first glance, contradictory or confusing results, because these moments of ambiguity in students’ use of composing technologies point to shifts or tensions in students’ attitudes, beliefs, practices and rhetorical decision-making strategies when writing in the 21st century. The implications of these ambiguous results suggest paths for continued collaborative research and action. They also, we argue, point to a need to foster students’ reflexive, critical, and rhetorical writing – across composing technologies – and to develop updated writing pedagogies that account for students’ flexible use of these technologies.

AU - Miller, Carolyn R. T2 - Journal of Media Innovations AB - In trying to understand genre innovation and the appearance of what seem to be “new genres” in both new and old media, researchers have relied heavily on the concepts of “evolution” and “emergence,” without theorizing these concepts. These terms are usually associated with science, to analyze biological and physical processes, and both carry entailments worth examining. What work does each model of change do and what work does each keep us from doing? When we adopt the language of evolution or emergence, what do we import to our conceptualization of genres, of large-scale rhetorical action, and of the rhetorical organization of culture? Evolution is anti-essentialist, while emergence allows for the phenomenology of essence; both are terministic screens in Burke’s sense and thus incomplete and partial. There may be no general conceptual model adequate to the variety of cultural phenomena and domains in which genres are of interest, but we can continue to learn by testing our observations of particular examples against these useful concepts. We should be conscious of the assumptions we make about essences and relationships, of how and why we identify something as a genre; we should also be alert to the differences between classification by abstraction and classification by descent.

Coder and Lewis Hurst. Dallas Times-Herald, March 16, 1931. [End Page 254] About 8:20 p.m. on the night of Wednesday, March 4, 1931, three Dallas men—an attorney and two Communist clients—were kidnapped at gunpoint as they emerged from the Dallas jail, located in the city hall. Even though their abductors, fourteen men in four cars, wore neither robes nor hoods, they were presumed to be members of the Ku Klux Klan. The controversies that ensued over the next few weeks provide a good example of how racism in the Jim Crow era helped blind many white Dallasites to gross violations of civil liberties. The abduction was far from a perfect crime. Because it was staged on the steps of the jail and coincided with the unannounced release of the Reds, police complicity was suspected. And in taking attorney George Clifton Edwards the kidnappers snatched a man whose disappearance was bound to be noteworthy. Edwards, then in his mid-fifties, was as much a pillar of his community as any man of his opinions could have been. Most civic leaders knew his background because they read about him in newspapers two or three times a year. He had grown up in Dallas, the son of a prominent attorney, earned a master’s degree from Harvard, studied for the Episcopal ministry, then changed his mind and dedicated himself to teaching. He founded a night school for textile workers in South Dallas, taught Latin and algebra in the public schools, served as both a football coach and a debate coach, and became the principal of Oak Cliff High School. In 1906 he had been the gubernatorial candidate of the Socialist Party, and a year later he was elected to the commission that wrote the Dallas city charter.1 [End Page 255] After that, Edwards became a lawyer. He made his debut as a criminal-courts barrister in a trial that went badly awry on March 3, 1910. Edwards had been appointed to defend Allen Brooks, an elderly and demented African American who a week earlier had been accused of raping a three-year-old white girl. As Edwards was interviewing his client in a vacant jury room on the second floor of the county courthouse, some 500 men from a crowd outside stormed past sheriff’s officers, broke into the jury room, put a rope around the defendant’s neck, and pushed him out of a window. Brooks landed on his head, eyewitnesses reported, “with a thud that could be heard above the shouting of the mob.” The crowd then dragged him several blocks to a telephone pole near the Elks’ Arch, which stood on Akard Street, where someone hoisted his corpse for all to behold.2 In later reminiscences about the affair, Edwards observed that “the Court House is directly across the street from the Sheriff’s office, and the ‘Elks’ Arch’ less than a block from the then Dallas Police headquarters. The sheriff’s office and the police could not have been unaware of the whole business but not one officer did one thing.” His conclusion no doubt colored his handling of the 1931 abduction.3 Not without misgivings, Edwards had undertaken the defense of the two Reds only days before. “I am not a Communist. I regard the Communists as a misguided and ignorant and almost foolish set of doctrinaires,” he said at the time.4 His clients were not natives of Dallas or men of any distinction. Although both, like him, were white, they were newcomers who in a month’s time had become infamous as troublemakers. We cannot be sure who they were. In those days, before most Americans drove cars, before the Social Security system, and before the national security state, people could assume identities almost as easily as they could adopt dogs. By the thousands, immigrants had assumed Anglicized names—and sometimes, entirely new names—and members of the Communist Party, especially those who were on the organization’s payrolls in the South, frequently adopted...

It argues that scholarly use of digitized historical resources has overlooked a largely hidden history of how Victorian data gets to now. Studying Victorian periodicals against the longue durée of their mediation not only encompasses technological processes but also the discursive contexts in which those practices took shape, including twentieth-century political economies of global conflict, the intelligence community’s alliances with scholarly associations and research libraries, gendered and outsourced labor, and commercial techno-futurism. I follow the lead of several scholars in media studies and critical bibliography to outline—and then pursue—a method for investigating these material histories, an “archaeology” that enables us to better grasp the historiography of our research objects, which have arrived, for the moment, as digital. Such an approach is crucial not only for understanding the mediated conditions of scholarly materials but also for facilitating informed critique of the how they are created, sold, accessed, and used by casual users as well as scholars interested in computational techniques.

T2 - JOURNAL OF SOCIOLINGUISTICS AB - The Atlas of North American English ( ANAE ) is a survey of vocalic variation in North American English and the culmination of Labov's years of work on vowel shifting. It covers the entire continent and employs modern acoustic analysis to reveal shifting patterns. As such, it represents a significant step forward for dialectology. Importantly, its focus is more current than historical. It has some weaknesses, such as poor coverage of minorities and diphthongization and an outdated notation. However, its perspective will drive future approaches to geographical variation and vowel shifting. Sound changes, both for English and for other languages, must now be viewed as components of integrated systems. Geographical surveys should henceforth take the extent of these systems into account.

From these statistics and stories, we already know that independent technical communicators face challenges ranging from legal issues to establishing marketing visibility when they start and maintain businesses. Drawing on thick qualitative description from semistructured interviews, this article responds to the need for more systematic research tracing the networking practices, technologies, and relationships that enable entrepreneurial work. Research question: How do established individual entrepreneurs in TC describe the social relationships, networking practices, and networking technologies that shape their careers over time? Literature review: This project extends prior research at the intersections of entrepreneurship, technical communication, and social networks. Entrepreneurial studies research indicates that strong social ties and embeddedness influence venture performance; however, systematic scholarship on the networks or networking practices of independent or entrepreneurial technical communication practice has been limited. Methodology: The project used semistructured interviews to analyze the professional communication practices of eight technical communicators with considerable experience working independently as consultants or small-business owners. We used an online search to identify experienced entrepreneurs in the interdisciplinary field of technical communication. After recruiting participants via email, we conducted semistructured interviews to gather employment narratives, while prompting participants to share information about career-relevant ties, networking practices, and networking technologies. We then analyzed data through two iterative qualitative coding passes. Results and conclusions: Our participants, made up of experienced TC entrepreneurs, have used networking over at least two decades to advance personal business outcomes and evolve technical communication as a field and profession. Findings detail how networking is central to professional social knowledge construction, as TC entrepreneurs establish transactional contact with others, practice learning, and enact exponential reputation-building that addresses the isolation of working outside traditional organizations. Since this is a qualitative study based on self-report, the results are not generalizable but provide a foundation for future larger-scale research building from these qualitative themes.

The discussion is framed around the incomplete Cook’s Tale from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and the Tale of Gamelyn, a romance frequently misattributed to Chaucer that circulated with the Canterbury Tales, often to fill the gap left by the incomplete Cook’s Tale.

DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. AU - Wolfram, Walt AU - Rick, Caroline My AU - Forrest, Jon AU - Fox, Michael J. T2 - AMERICAN SPEECH AB - Although Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s eloquence as a speaker is widely recognized and his rhetorical strategies have been extensively studied, no analyses have been conducted on his language variation in different speech settings. This article examines a set of variable structures in King's speech to determine how it indexes his regional, social, and ethnic identity as he accommodated different audiences and interactions. The use of unstressed (ING), medial and final /t/ release, postvocalic nonrhoticity, coda-final cluster reduction, copula/auxiliary absence, the vowel system, and syllable timing are considered for four different speech events: the “I Have a Dream” speech (1963), the Nobel Prize acceptance speech (1964), a conversation with talk-show host Merv Griffin (1967), and the “I've Been to the Mountaintop” speech (1968). The analysis indicates stability across speech events for some variables and significant variation for others based on the speech event. His indexical profile indicates that he consistently embodied his Southern-based, African American preacherly stance while fluidly shifting features that indexed performance and formality based on audience, interaction, and intentional purpose. His language embraced ethnolinguistic tradition and transcended linguistic diversity, modeling linguistic equality in practice.

By looking through the lens of actor-network theory, the author portrays the networking activity of mobile phone users as translation, what Latour describes as an infralanguage to which different disciplinary perspectives can be appended. Given how much mobile phone use is information-based, the author describes how five people composed on mobile phones to create coordinated networks of professional and domestic activity. To arrive at this discussion, the author first considers the objectives of mobile networking, which include creating a sense of place and coordination within that space. The author then describes the findings of a case study of mobile phone users who build translational networks. The discussion focuses on the participants’ composing practices.

One key to making the case for the importance of research in a scholarly article is to incorporate value arguments. Yet there has been no rhetorical analysis of value arguments in the literature. In the context of rhetorical situation, stasis theory, and Swales’s linguistic analysis of moves in introductions, this article examines value arguments in introductions of science research articles. Employing a corpus of 60 articles from three science journals, the author analyzes value arguments based on Toulmin’s definition of argument and identifies three classes of value arguments and seven functions of these arguments in introductions. This analysis illuminates the rhetorical construction of value in science articles and provides a foundation for the empirical study of value in scholarship.

AU - Dannels, Deanna P. AU - Laboy, Johanne I. AU - Carneiro, Larissa T2 - JOURNAL OF BUSINESS AND TECHNICAL COMMUNICATION AB - This study explores the intersections between facework, feedback interventions, and digitally mediated modes of response to student writing. Specifically, the study explores one particular mode of feedback intervention—screencast response to written work—through students’ perceptions of its affordances and through dimensions of its role in the mediation of face and construction of identities. Students found screencast technologies to be helpful to their learning and their interpretation of positive affect from their teachers by facilitating personal connections, creating transparency about the teacher’s evaluative process and identity, revealing the teacher’s feelings, providing visual affirmation, and establishing a conversational tone. The screencast technologies seemed to create an evaluative space in which teachers and students could perform digitally mediated pedagogical identities that were relational, affective, and distinct, allowing students to perceive an individualized instructional process enabled by the response mode. These results suggest that exploring the concept of digitally mediated pedagogical identity, especially through alternative modes of response, can be a useful lens for theoretical and empirical exploration.

T2 - ANNUAL REVIEW OF LINGUISTICS, VOL 2 AB - Although consonantal variation has traditionally been studied using auditory coding, techniques now exist for measuring any kind of consonants acoustically and/or articulatorily. These methods have already been employed extensively for studying variation in many languages. Techniques and past studies using them are reviewed for rhotics, laterals, fricatives, stops, weakening and strengthening processes, and voicing. These methods are becoming well established in sociolinguistic inquiry. One of the greatest remaining challenges is to design studies that combine these methods with current sociological approaches to human interactions.

Interpreting and connecting two sites spanning the Pacific Ocean, this paper explores the inscribed and affective landscapes of Angel Island, San Francisco, and North Head, Sydney. Both sites encompass multivalent histories of defence, quarantine, immigration and leisure. Both also host a continuum of mark-making practices, from informal graffiti to monuments aspiring to direct national narratives. Elaborating the rich and complex layering of histories at each site, we trace the semiotic and emotive circuits marked by their endorsed and vernacular inscriptions. In particular, we question the work done when individual or even surreptitious texts are appropriated – or marketed – within formal narratives of inclusiveness, reverence and homogeneous nationalism. Drawing upon scholarship from archaeology, history, geography and heritage studies, this analysis argues that formalised commemoration never escapes the potential for counter-readings – that authority and authorship never entirely coincide.

For /ɹ/, we report an ultrasound-based articulatory study of twenty-seven speakers of American English. Two speakers use only retroflex /ɹ/, sixteen use only bunched /ɹ/, and nine use both /ɹ/ types, with idiosyncratic allophonic distributions. These allophony patterns are covert, because the difference between bunched and retroflex /ɹ/ is not readily perceived by listeners. We compare this typology of /ɹ/-allophony patterns to clear/dark /l/-allophony patterns in seventeen languages. On the basis of the observed patterns, we show that individual-level /ɹ/ allophony and language-level /l/ allophony exhibit similar phonetic grounding, but that /ɹ/-allophony patterns are considerably more complex. The low complexity of language-level /l/-allophony patterns, which are more readily perceived by listeners, is argued to be the result of individual-level contact in the development of sound patterns. More generally, we argue that familiar phonological patterns (which are relatively simple and homogeneous within communities) may arise from individual-level articulatory patterns, which may be complex and speaker-specific, by a process of koineization. We conclude that two classic properties of phonological rules, phonetic naturalness and simplicity, arise from different sources.

The essay draws attention to the poem’s engagement with material writing practices, memorial customs, and literary connections, culminating with the self-penned epitaph Wroth’s speaker uses to close the poem. In so doing, this essay positions Wroth’s work, often read as self-consciously disengaged from her literary coterie, in a broad conversation about poetry’s capacity to endure as an object of imitation and affiliation.

N. T2 - Cinema Journal AB - Felicia (Alan Gorg, Bob Dickson, and Trevor Greenwood, 1965), a short educational film about a teenage girl living in Watts, California, chronicles a day in the life of a high school junior as she reflects on her geographical situation and life aspirations. This article considers how Felicia is particularly suited to a discussion of the ways that urban spaces, and Watts in particular, were imagined in the 1960s. It demonstrates how nontheatrical film can inform our understanding of film history and enrich discussions of documentary filmmaking, the role of student filmmakers, and other cinematic movements such as that of the LA Rebellion.
