is angry. Facebook. Instagram. Twitter. Reddit. 4Chan. In The
Rhetoric of Outrage: Why Social Media is Making Us Angry Professor
Jeff Rice addresses the increasingly critical question of why anger
has become the dominant digital response on social media. He
examines the theoretical and rhetorical explanations for the
intense rage that prevails across social media platforms, and sheds
new light on how our anger isn't merely a reaction against singular
events, but generated out of subversive, aggregated beliefs and
ideas. Captivating, accessible, and exceedingly important, The
Rhetoric of Outrage: Why Social Media Is Making Us Angry encourages
readers to have the difficult conversations about what is truly
behind their anger.

As it becomes impossible to imagine a world without a World Wide
Web, information organization, delivery, and production have
converged on the simple principle of marking up information for
given audiences. From A to investigates the relationship between
media and culture by articulating questions regarding the role of
markup. How do the codes of HTML, CSS, PHP, and other markup
languages affect the Web's everyday uses? How do these languages
shape the Web's communicative functions? This novel inquiry
positions markup as the basis of our cultural, rhetorical, and
communicative understanding of the Web. Contributors: Sarah J.

The essays in NEW MEDIA/NEW METHODS: THE ACADEMIC TURN FROM
LITERACY TO ELECTRACY pose an invention-based approach to new media
studies. Representing a specific school of theory emergent in
graduates of the University of Florida and working from the concept
of electracy, as opposed to literacy, contributors present various
heuristics for elaborating new media rhetoric and theory. NEW
MEDIA/NEW METHODS challenges literacy-based understandings of new
media, which typically pose such work as hermeneutics or textual
interpretation. Rather than grounding their work in hermeneutics,
contributors rely on heuretics, or invention, to outline new modes
of scholarly discourse reflective of and adapted to digital
culture. Contributors include Ron Broglio, Elizabeth Coffman,
Denise K. Cummings, Bradley Dilger, Michelle Glaros, Michael
Jarrett, Barry Jason Mauer, Marcel O'Gorman, Robert Ray, Jeff Rice,
Craig Saper, and Gregory L. Ulmer. ABOUT THE EDITORS JEFF RICE is
