Recognising an increasingly technological context for rhetorical
activity, the thirteen contributors to this volume illuminate the
challenges and opportunities inherent in successfully navigating
intersections between rhetoric and technology in existing and
emergent literacy practices. Edited by Stuart A. Selber, Rhetorics
and Technologies positions technology as an inevitable aspect of
the rhetorical situation and as a potent force in writing and
communication activities. Taking a broad approach, this volume is
not limited to discussion of particular technological systems (such
as new media or wikis) or rhetorical contexts (such as invention or
ethics). The essays instead offer a comprehensive treatment of the
rhetoric-technology nexus. The book's first section considers the
ways in which the social and material realities of using technology
to support writing and communication activities have altered the
borders and boundaries of rhetorical studies. The second section
explores the discourse practices employed by users, designers, and
scholars of technology when communicating in technological
contexts. In the final section, projects and endeavours that
illuminate the ways in which discourse activities can evolve to
reflect emerging sociopolitical realties, technologies, and
educational issues are examined. The resulting text bridges past
and future by offering new understandings of traditional canons of
rhetoric--invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery--as
they present themselves in technological contexts without
discarding the rich history of the field before the advent of these
technological innovations.
