This crucial alignment of sound/arbitrariness has lead to deleterious presumptions about visual, non-phonetic linguistic signs—namely, that they are limited to concrete phenomenon and incapable ofexpressing abstract concepts. Such assumptions have relegated signed languages—which are morehighly iconic than spoken languages to the status of ideographic language capable of the most basicthoughts, akin to mime.

So Attack the Block is your everyday, textbook invasion story: aliens invade, trouble is caused, people die, humans fight back, and we get a somewhat happy ending. But what makes the aliens scary in a contemporary context? After all, this movie was just released in 2011, so what new fears can be found here? Well actually, the movie is quite helpful in telling us what it’s not about after Dennis and Pest so eloquently put it, “Hey, this ain’t got nothin’ to do with gangs!” “Or drugs, or rap music, or violence in video games.” So if the aliens don’t represent these imaginary fears, what is real enough to be scary? The fights a struggling lower class are put through in order to survive in their society which has stacked the odds against them? Sounds possible, especially when you realize that the aliens don’t attack or kill anyone outside of the impoverished lower class, aka those who li

authoritative author’s "voice," as is typically found in traditional educational and academic writing.
assuming the "authoritative voice" of the author brings up this complex set of thoughts and emotions because the reader is left to assume the tone of the author.
But, once we know that the writing is based in academia, we kind of know how what to expect considering that being a part of the academic world: we understand the that there's a certain rhetorical situation surrounding how we present our thoughts or findings in writing.
Sometimes our preconceived notion of academic writing can hinder us from understanding the author's point. Some of us may associate "academic" with fancy, intimidating rhetoric from scholars who seem to know more than the average individual. It's not in everyday language of the common folk that we use words above and 8th grade reading level.

challenge the conception of an authoritative author’s "voice," as is typically found in traditional educational and academic writing.
I think that the challenge here (regarding the visual) is that we, the audience, is left with the power to interpret how the visual content coincides with the other modes, especially the linguistic mode. We also begin to think about how the spatial mode or the deliverable influence how we perceive the underlying message or purpose.

In the example picture about the pipe, I can now understand the Foucault was suggesting that words have limitations although we depend on them to describe and explain the most simple to complex things.

Video Notes
rhetoric as a philosophy
"rhetoric- a very short, necessarily incomplete, and possible totally superfluous history" - this in a sense defies what we know as rhetoric in the Aristotelian, Platonic, Socratic aspects.
Bogost acknowledges the common discourse surrounding rhetoric and its negative connotations.
*The beginning of Bogost's presentation presents an argumentative tactic like that of an advocate addressing the opposition
*story about his son and the video game - evidence of pathos
*Analogy of the new teacher/old teacher dynamic compared to the complexity and simplicity of the ways of learning.
- "it becomes difficult to do new things in an old institution." --academic discourse should evolve considering the rhetorical situation... Makes me think of FCJ-173 "everything is digital and digital is everything"
*"the internet solves our problems." - makes it easy to communicate information, but continuing to simplify things becomes problematic for literacy and how the learning process takes place.
*We later learn that he's a professor; has dabbled in journalism; has worked with the media (e.g. CNN, NY Times). - evidence of ethos
*Complexity is important in the learning process...it promotes critical thinking, innovation, creativity

What broadly characterises this trend is its commitment to a return to a full-blown metaphysics of ‘being,’ outside of any subjective or human ‘correlation.’

Stuart is an exception to the social norms that view disabled bodies as unattractive, and she gets to be that exception only by conforming to specific body norms.
This goes back to a previous highlight about identities. "conforming to specific body norms"
She has to compromise one identity to blend in with another that is equally underrepresented.
eedr2016

At least the attention on Stuart has focused on her and her choices. Her story of fashion and weight loss has led to a professional modeling gig, some wonderful photo shoots and reporting from around the globe. As her mother says, everyone ought to realize that “people with Down syndrome can be sexy and beautiful and should be celebrated.” Her fame has sprung from her Facebook page and is something she clearly wants. I’m ready to celebrate her.
So distracted by the disability, I'm surprised that the requirements to become a model weren't highlighted. I guess Stuart had to compromise her identity somewhere and since she couldn't change her disability, she could change her weight.
What constitutes being "overweight" or "fat" or "too big"? If she had not have loss weight, which identity would provoke negative attitudes?

Through the years of my academic career I was always fascinated with English and Composition. We use language or linguistics to communicate with others around us making the world a smaller place by using composition to further our understanding of cultures and perspectives of others. This path was not easy I found myself lost, confused and wondering around in a desolated waste land that once was a valley of tall grasses, tulips, daffodils and thriving life. I had no background in English nor what rhetoric was coming to Georgia State. I had an academic background in both biology and engineering, and worked on projects that were funded by NASA as a research scholar. I found that these disciplines was not my passion or career choice. English was my first love and instead of waiting to be devoured by vultures I began to walk towards civilization. I found myself drinking and rejoicing in the river of rhetoric and composition. Rhetoric was like a breath of fresh air coming underneath layers of rubble.

the perfume of synthetic fibers and freshly sharpened pencils always signals the start of a new school year, and it makes me ecstatic. As a child, the ritual began with a trip to the uniform store. My older sister and I trekked onto Clark Street via a city bus. Each year, we found ourselves before the counters of what had to be the world’s largest purveyor of Catholic school uniforms. “St. Margaret Mary, please,” we would say. The elderly salesman would fetch my mostly polyester wardrobe for the upcoming school year—a plaid jumper, pleated skirts, Peter Pan-collared blouse, acrylic cardigans—carefully folded in individual plastic bags.
The imagery is outstanding.
What's Chatelain's background? Did she grow up in the inner city? Or did she and her sister catch the bus away from their suburban home?
Fetch? I think a more pleasing word could have been used here.

prewriting on their consumer identity
Ugh! This reminds me of the formulaic writing that I hate.

we are ignoring the embodied interface of the classroom and the multisensory affordances of shared space.
In essence, technology has disabled a lot of what Hunter claims in this article

In this essay, I draw upon Deaf culture and the concept of Deaf Gain to illustrate how the hearing classroom could benefit from practices that engage in embodied discourses and visual-spatial metaphors.
Interested to see where else this goes or what solutions are offered

Today’s feminist rhetoricians are in the midst of seeking alternative avenues of shaping their voices
Alternative avenues like what? Feminist only sites? Books targeting women? Not too sure...

Ellen Pao (an American woman of Chinese descent), experienced a large volume of harassment after banning and censoring the forum’s most hate speech-focused subreddits, eventually stepping down from her position[4].
Stepped down from intimidation? Is this not a form of bullying? Or are the comments protected by "freedom of speech?"... Who's really protected...Elite white males/females?

Is gender really taught? Why is sex and gender so divided? This brings me to my first question when I go to local department stores and see Barbies and vacuums (suggesting domestic chores) targeting girls and G.I. Joes or anything with a toy gun or knife targeting boys

He who is the victim of his passions and the slave of pleasure will of course desire to make his beloved as agreeable to himself as possible.
"victim", "slave"...these dark words can make the audience feel uneasy. And why are they being used next to words that seem more 'light' or innocent (i.e. passions, pelasurewill). Binary opposition perhaps?

It seems that Socrates had all intentions to compete with Lysias and the rhetoric he chooses almost sounds as if he "manipulating" Phaedrus into thinking that he is no match for Lysias. How ironic that the negative connotation for rhetoric blatantly shows here in Socrates's words.

tu quoque

One of the rules to being a good rhetorician is to question everything you're told or everything you have read.

Greek spelling. The translation flows in and out of how words were spelled/defined then compared to now, which makes a big difference in some cases.

Sarcasm much? Knowing that Lysias is a rhetorician and the son of a wealthy man only pushes Socrates to compete with Lysias's speech.
