learning from one another even as they disagree
Yes I like that in this light disagreeing is not a bad thing, but a learning experience.

Conversing with other writers
Could gaining new insights from other writers not only be through conversing but through peer editing/proofreading to get feedback?
-
a writer's audience "is always a fiction
What does this mean?
-
Without considering the effects one's rhetorical choices will have on an audience and the ways in which these choices will impact existing views of a subject, a rhetor's attempts at persuasion become nearly impossible
Interesting that the goal here is to persuade. I agree one should think about their audience but I don't know if you always have to try to persuade them.

-
becoming embodied extensions of the text and through their use, making meaning about the role and implication of their own bodies.
Cool!
-
Paying attention to the role of various bodies and various abilities will expand what we constitute as writing, as teaching, as inventing.
Yes! Standards do not work for everyone.
-
docile bodies in our classrooms
So true...
-
the body is an active location of both knowing and being
Great way to put it.
-
the body, immersed in and aware of its literate activity, is a separate but coalescing material agent from/with language
Separate but together. And you can't have one without the other - we can't understand language without our bodies.
-
bodies and texts
Like how people say books mean nothing without people to read them...
-
in a given body's available means
I wonder what specifically "available means" might be. Everyone has a different body and therefore different ways they are able to make meaning?

Dissonant harmonies for composers
For anyone wondering, dissonance in music is generally notes that don't sound nice together - it's unexpected and used to subvert what you're used to hearing and is usually really effective if the rest of the piece has notes that are in normal, harmonious chords.
-
digital scholarship
Is this piece itself digital scholarship? I don't think I've ever seem something in this format before.
-
'rules' for sampling copyrighted images and sounds are much less clear
It can be extremely difficult or impossible for music artists and filmmakers to get the rights to include a song, brand or image in their work and it is very stifling to creativity (invention) and their message - learned this in a media class. They have to either be super rich to buy the rights, just use it taking the risk of a lawsuit or highly alter their work.
-
"favors discovery over the restricted topic sentence since writers composing with juxtapositions do not begin with an understanding of what they will be writing about
One of my first English classes at Western we were told to basically throw out what you learned in high school about essay format (topic sentence/hypothesis, 5 paragraphs, etc) and instead your essays should develop and discover as they go and end with what you found (conclusion). This definitely relates to what they're saying here.
-
similarities-in-difference
Ooh I like this paradox. Makes me think about how everyone is different but everyone has similarities.
-
coming to closure too quickly
Maybe this is why so many teachers say you might not even use your first draft and it's okay to throw things out or vastly change what you have written. You won't create something new if you don't explore and instead just go with the first thing you thought of to put on the page.
-
half-truths
Interesting to think about what things have been invented from an idea someone thought to be true, but it wasn't.
-
Composing is a process of making connections, rearranging materials (words, images, concepts) in unexpected ways.
Love this. Really reminds me of how people describe music. Music is just the same 12 notes rearranged in countless different ways. Pretty crazy to think about it that way - how people are still able to create original music when everyone's been using the same 12 notes for how many years...
-
popular conceptions of 'invention' often present lone geniuses who seem to come up with radically new ideas out of the ether
Haha yes that is typically what came to mind when I thought of an inventor. That has changed for me now though.
