Viual Literacy "The Problem of Electronic Argument" by Michele S Shauf

Visual literacy--re: "The Problem of Electronic Argumnet" by Michele S. Shauf
Problems of visual rhet is that they think “old school”? Perhaps the problem is when their “old school” rhetoric is dysfunctional. Perhaps that is my problem. Do I really know what is meant by comp’s “return to its classical roots in the rhetorical notion of discursive arrangement”? I have an idea…but when linguistic sculptors drop utterances with such genratic register, organization sprays like streaming consciousness from a fire hose.

Visual Literacy "Toward New Media Texts" by Cynthia L. Selfe

Visual literacy—re: "Toward New Media Texts" by Cynthia L. Selfe
The emergence of visual literacy—we’re in its midst, which means we’re defining it, which means it hasn’t a solid meaning, which means…Let me break it down—the visual part is pretty clear: you can see it; the literacy part is less clear: you can read it. To me that means it is anything (PERIOD). Can we have insights that can’t be seen with our eyes? Could visual literacy be extended to images that reside strictly in the mind? Does visual literacy have to be limited to visual sight with eyes planted in skulls? So many questions, so few answers.
