NEW MEDIA THEORY SERIES EDITOR: BYRON HAWK MICS, CAMERAS, SYMBOLIC
ACTION: AUDIO-VISUAL RHETORIC FOR WRITING TEACHERS addresses the
current technological challenges and opportunities of writing
teachers through a conceptualization of writing and reading that
could not have been imagined by many writing teachers at the turn
of the twenty-first century. While MICS, CAMERAS, SYMBOLIC ACTION
looks forward to emerging writing technologies, it finds its
theoretical foundations by looking back to Kenneth Burke's concept
of symbolic action. MICS, CAMERAS, SYMBOLIC ACTION situates its
pedagogy for engaging the multidimensional rhetoric of audio-visual
writing to help new and experienced writing teachers select,
create, and engage productive models for designing audio-visual
writing assignments and curricula. MICS, CAMERAS, SYMBOLIC ACTION
draws upon Erika Lindemann and her pioneering work in A Rhetoric
for Writing Teachers, as well as the educational theory of John
Dewey, the multiliteracy theory of Stuart Selber, and the design
philosophy of Robin Williams. Rather than look to the creation and
critique of audio-visual texts as the goal of its pedagogy, MICS,
CAMERAS, SYMBOLIC ACTION looks for ways to use the creation and
critique of audio-visual texts as a means for realizing a variety
of learning goals for writing students. Bump HALBRITTER establishes
not only the theoretical foundation for that work but also
discusses, in depth, the material demands of working with
audio-visual assets that writing teachers have not typically been
trained to use: microphones, video cameras, and an array of other
peripheral technologies for collecting, storing, and exchanging
audio-visual information. BUMP HALBRITTER is Associate Professor of
Rhetoric and Writing at Michigan State University and is Editor of
CCC ONLINE. His work on aural rhetoric and audio-visual writing
pedagogy has appeared in KAIROS, ENCULTURATION, COMPUTERS AND
COMPOSITION, COLLEGE ENGLISH, and in the edited collection, DIGITAL
TOOLS. Halbritter and Julie Lindquist are co-PIs of the long-term
research project LiteracyCorps Michigan, a multi-phase research
project that uses digital video to investigate and document the
literate lives of college students. "The voice and style are one of
the Mics, Cameras, Symbolic Action's great strengths, as they
render the subject approachable and readable to those who might not
yet consider themselves a part of rhetoric and composition culture.
Halbritter makes a compelling argument for why we should become
engaged in the (symbolic) action of multimedia composing." - ERIN
