The Routledge Handbook of Digital Writing and Rhetoric [eBook]
Publication Date: 2018
This handbook brings together scholars from around the globe who here contribute to our understanding of how digital rhetoric is changing the landscape of writing. Increasingly, all of us must navigate networks of information, compose not just with computers but an array of mobile devices, increase our technological literacy, and understand the changing dynamics of authoring, writing, reading, and publishing in a world of rich and complex texts. Of interest to both researchers and students, this volume provides insights about the fields of rhetoric, writing, composition, digital media, literature, and multimodal studies.
Digital Rhetoric [eBook]
Publication Date: 2015
This book aims to answer that question by looking at a number of interrelated histories, as well as evaluating a wide range of methods and practices from fields in the humanities, social sciences, and information sciences to determine what might constitute the work and the world of digital rhetoric. Both traditional and new methods are examined for the tools they provide that can be used to both study digital rhetoric and to potentially make new forms that draw on digital rhetoric for their persuasive power.
The Multimediated Rhetoric of the Internet [eBook]
Publication Date: 2014
This book "argues that as our lives become increasingly digital, we must consider rhetoric applicable to more than just printed text or to images... Handa considers pedagogy, professional writing, hypertext theory, rhetorical studies, and composition studies, moving analysis beyond merely "using" the web towards "thinking" rhetorically about its construction and its impact on culture."
Digital Rhetoric and Global Literacies [eBook]
Publication Date: 2013
"This book compiles relevant theoretical frameworks, current practical applications, and emerging practices of digital rhetoric, highlighting the key principles and understandings of the underlying modes, practices, and literacies of communication"
Virtualpolitik: an electronic history of government media-making in a time of war, scandal, disaster, miscommunication, and mistakes [eBook]
Publication Date: 2009
Today government agencies not only have official Web sites but also sponsor moderated chats, blogs, digital video clips, online tutorials, videogames, and virtual tours of national landmarks... In Virtualpolitik, Elizabeth Losh closely examines the government's digital rhetoric in such cases and its dual role as mediamaker and regulator. Looking beyond the usual focus on interfaces, operations, and procedures, Losh analyzes the ideologies revealed in government's digital discourse, its anxieties about new online practices, and what happens when officially sanctioned material is parodied, remixed, or recontextualized by users.
Rhetoric and the Digital Humanities [eBook]
Publication Date: 2015
The digital humanities is a rapidly growing field that is transforming humanities research through digital tools and resources...This book offers much-needed guidance on how the theories and methodologies of rhetorical studies can enhance all work in digital humanities, and vice versa.
