"It's funny no one's picked up on the Stephen Miller connection," Spencer says. "I knew him very well when I was at Duke. But I am kind of glad no one's talked about this because I don't want to harm Trump."

America has, for the time being, abdicated the role of the world’s moral leader, to the extent that it ever played that part convincingly.

Adorno believed that the greatest danger to American democracy lay in the mass-culture apparatus of film, radio, and television.

The real hypocrisy here is that those making this accusation themselves assert a hierarchy of groups when they invoke the white working class, who become invariably an object of extended pathos, complete with set cultural clichés in which honest beer is swilled in honest bars as the less honest soar from coast to coast overhead, swilling chardonnay.

In fact, a similar anger exists within segments of the white community. Most working- and middle-class white Americans don’t feel that they have been particularly privileged by their race.

I define para-expertise as the experiential, embodied, and tacit knowledge that does not translate into the vocabulary or skills of disciplinary expertise

The concept of para-expertise may help to resituate how we conceptualize, teach, and use notions of expertise in the classroom, since it can teach nonexperts to pursue rhetorical action through strategic expertise allianceswithout overstepping the very real limitations of nonexpertise. As a pedagogical approach, this articulation may also help students better understand the work of expert interactions among audiences, texts, and themselves as novices

The pedagogical aim of such a course is thus to increase students’ own expertise in writing studies.

In their landmark studies, Flower and Hayes conclude that “novice” writers differ from “good” writers in the way novice writers fail to construct a problem in the same ways as expert writers. Novice writers tend to repeatedly read a prompt in hopes of finding some kind of direction for the writing situation. Meanwhile, “good” writers use the writing prompt as a way to articulate and define their own understanding of the rhetorical situation to which they are responding.

s this foregrounding of problem-posing.

Experts pose problems in ways that differ significantly from novices or nonexperts. Or, as Flower and Hayes put it: “People only solve the problems they represent to themselves” (30).

Yet it is also embedded in judgment. The rhetor who collects, archives, traces, or inquires does not give up any claims to judgment (krisis).

Consider how many assign-ments in our most common courses (lower-level and introductory writing and speaking classes) reflect a pedagogical assumption that students should feel something prior to writing, speaking, or producing a rhetorical text.

This pedagogy of inquiry asks students to develop a different kind of relation to place, crisis, and discourse. Inquiry becomes a habit, not a precursor to anything else. It does not matter whether one feels injured by the changes or has authentic memory or feel-ings about the changes, or whether the changes have some kind of decidable value. In fact, it does not matter whether one cares or does not care about the issue at hand. What matters is the challenge of inquiry itself.

Rather, actor-network theory is more about how we are within a process. While we may not be conscious of the networks we inhabit, we are aware of the networks through a kind of embodied knowledge that is reflected in our behavioral adjustments.

hat use-value the curriculum may ultimately have for them in their particular contexts

As a result, students will begin to see rhetoric as an adaptive process that requires a proliferation of methods at every instant. Instead of pre-ordained processes or methods, students would “start with experience, generalize a pattern or schema from that experience, turn that pattern on future experience, and then adapt the pattern to devise a new schema

Hawk’s emphasis on ecology and immersion promises to counter-act such hyper-disciplinarity and ossification.

s. It is no surprise then that institutionalized writing is steadily moving away from the essay as the universal proving ground for student writers, and towards teaching to write effectively in a variety of genres students can expect to work in as they leave college for the workforce. This shift from writing as a single, universal skill to writing as multiple and genre-based is both potentially liberating and potentially disenfranchising.

as the ability to think of different ways of locating themselves within complex human-technological networks, the emergence of students’ own purposes for using rhetoric, and along with that, their own methods of rhetorical invention.

Instead of a pedagogy of heuristics, which presupposes interiority, Hawk argues for the importance of “ecology and immersion,” in which students gain a greater understanding of their rhetorical presence as multivalent, existing from moment to moment, in connection with other bodies and technologies

Hawk further argues that as the proliferation of communication technologies continue to fracture our understanding of what is good and effective writing, it no longer makes sense to teach texts as if they are strictly the product of a dialectic between writer and audience.

They’ve been designed and coded and engineered by companies to provide functionality in particular ways. And that design and code guides our students’ and our experiences through their use.

Here’s a thought exercise I sometimes give my students. How many times a day do you use Google to search for something? Do you even think about it? I know I don’t. I once lost my glasses and tried to Google them. I’m serious. So you google something, and you get a page of results. How often do you stop to think about what those results mean? Where they came from? What you’re seeing and what’s being hidden from you? Who decides this? We all know there’s an algorithm behind search. Was it written on stone tablets and handed down from on high?

From now on, every classroom discussion at your school must be conducted using these sames rules, procedures, and steps. If you don’t like them?

Descriptive gestures of sensation, like the one I offer above from the Children's Memorial, can certainly do critical work, yet the nature of that work is not self-evident. Indeed, where affect has been concerned in Rhetorical Studies, one of the questions so many of us are left with is: What can we do once descriptive gestures have been made? “For theorists and critics alike,” Hawhee writes, “finding the places where rhetoric and sensation converge is less challenging than knowing what to do from there.”

Emergence isn’t pretty. It’s not a flower opening. It’s rough, complicated, unruly, embarrassing… and in that way full of wonder.

By embodying a model of urban space divorced from the spatial history of the city and from the spatial practices of the rural communities whose former inhabitants were immigrating in ever-greater numbers to the city, the new underground made visible the radical transformation occurring everywhere.

"Systems can differentiate only by self-reference . . . [and] must create and employ a description of themselves."16 This description, he continues, is based on differentiation from their environment rather than on "the traditional difference between whole and part" (Social Systems, 6).

For while the transport network permitted an embodied experience of the transformation of the city by new technology, the network of cinemas and the global vernacular disseminated by them permitted a disembodied engagement with representations of that transformation, a technological space whose rules were more familiar even as its technology was less transparent.

Although these "goodlbad" sites may even havc fairly solid boundary markers (east of the freeway, downtown, southside of town), we might argue that these sites are not only comprised as such through their location or collection of elements. Instead, they obtain their descriptions as goodlbad sites from the affective and embodied experiences that circulate: feelings of fear or comfort, for instance.

1] For Jameson, the answer to the problem of cognitive mapping is dialectical thought and aesthetic representations. These options are rejected here on the basis that dialectical thought is no longer sufficient for a world better characterized by complexity science, and that aesthetic representations avoid the necessity of scientific inference for epistemic claims.

But that’s not why Brown was so giddy. The Ohio Democrat and 41-year political veteran was excited about a new labor rule he and Biden had come to Ohio to champion — a provision that, starting Dec. 1, will expand eligibility for overtime pay for certain professional workers earning less than $47,476.Business groups griped about it, Republican lawmakers threatened to block it, and most Americans probably missed its unveiling. But for Brown, it was a capstone in his decades-long crusade for the working class — a policy change he said would put more money in the pockets of millions of low-income Americans.“There are 134,000 Ohioans and 4 million Americans who will benefit directly from this,” Brown said.

And we need to pass those lessons on to many generations to follow because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."

If Martin struggled to write outside his usual communities, it’s not difficult to imagine individual students moving across the disciplinary ecosystems of higher education, each trying to cope uniquely with alien-looking assignments that must be particularized with complex information just learned or still being learned. Students are required to write well from context to context in almost chameleonic ways, taking on expertise in completely different domains of knowledge, lurching from one style to another, radically transforming their self-representations from “personal” to “highly objective” to “thoughtfully analytical.”

The complexity of text, idea, and image and the relation ships this complexity creates promote the "in the box" pedagogy that composition studies struggles to learn. In other words, teaching a new media writing is a reflection of a cultural condition currently lived; it is "in the box." I, like many others, have come to see such an "in the box" emphasis as one that stresses the formation of relationships among "too much" information. I, like many others, have come to see this pedagogy as the basis of network writing.

The specific features that pertain to Cornell's art and that can pertain to persua sive hypertexts are: the minimalist use of readymade texts; the knowledgeable linking of disparate materials; and the creation of a critical commentary to illu minate the intellectual connections that motivate the links. (Janangelo 28) Use what is available (ready-mades), create connections (linking), add to the found material (critical commentary), and link one's position. Such is a Cornell recipe for hypertext writing.

Good writing, as Richard Lanham famously put it, cuts out the lard.
