Softcover/Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. FROM ORACLE BONES TO COMPUTERS: THE EMERGENCE OF WRITING TECHNOLOGIES IN CHINA is the first book to provide a systematic historical, rhetorical, as well as critical account of the development of major writing technologies in China, spanning a history of over five thousand years. Baotong Gu covers the development of a wide array of major writing technologies, most of which were native Chinese inventions, including oracle inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, brush pens, ink, early forms of paper, the modern form of paper, block printing, movable type, the Chinese typewriter, the computer, and the Internet. FROM ORACLE BONES TO COMPUTERS distinguishes itself from other historical studies because it examines these technologies from a rhetorical perspective to explore how the cultural context, especially the role of language and communication, helps construct and shape the meanings of Chinese writing technologies. An innovative feature of this book is its development of a six-element, operationalized model of rhetorical analysis that can be applied to the study of any writing technology. Using this model, the author examines the rhetorical contexts of writing technologies in China in their respective historical periods by examining them in the context of exigency, ideology, participants, knowledge creation, access and control, and communication. FROM ORACLE BONES TO COMPUTERS will appeal to historians, theorists, and teachers across diverse fields of study, such as writing, rhetoric, technology, technology transfer, Asian studies, and cultural studies.With a research interest mainly in the reciprocal relationship between writing technology development and cultural contexts, Baotong Gu's publications range from articles, reviews, and translations to four co-edited collections: Content Management: Implications for Technical Communicators (2008, a special issue for Technical Communication Quarterly); Content Management: Bridging the Gap between Theory and Practice (2009, Baywood); Contemporary Western Rhetoric: Critical Methods and Paradigms (1998, China Social Sciences Academy Press); and Contemporary Western Rhetoric: Speech and Discourse Criticism (1998, China Social Sciences Academy Press). Gu is an associate professor of English at Georgia State University. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 459.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Designing Web-Based Applications for 21st Century Writing Classrooms brings together, for the first time, a group of scholars and teachers who have been developing, on their own initiative, web-based solutions to technical and professional writing instructional problems. In industry the perennial question is whether to buy or build, but in academia, for various reasons, buy is rarely an option. Individual faculty members do not have the money to pay for software solutions, and often their interests are too local or small-scale to warrant institutional-level involvement. In addition, the design of commercial applications from vendors typically does not take into account the unique needs and considerations of teachers of writing and often reflects a design ideology quite different from theirs. This is why so many writing teachers have turned to open source solutions and, in the process of learning how to tweak them to make them more responsive to their specific needs, why so many of these teachers have developed programming and design skills. Beyond exigency, the motivation for becoming proficient at interface and database design comes from the observation that the nature of writing is changing dramatically. Text is no longer an object. It has become a place of interaction; consumers are becoming producers. And the work of technical and professional communication, indeed the work of writing teachers more generally, is becoming increasingly involved in the design and implementation of places of interaction. Words have become data; texts are becoming communities.…
