Description:

Dataweaving: Textiles as Data Materialization Krystin Gollihue Mai Nou Xiong-Gum "In this manifesto, we argue that textiles are another form of data visualization. Textiles serve as a medium for storing, connecting, and coding data, but the practice of encoding information onto textiles through “craft” is a practice that comes steeped in histories of technology, privilege, and erasure." Arranging a Rhetorical Feminist Methodology: The Visualization of Anti-Gentrification Rhetoric on Twitter Desiree Dighton "In this webtext, I develop an in situ approach for the rhetorical study of large-scale social media data. Grounding this in situ methodology in rhetoric and feminist critiques of data and visualization, this webtext models techniques and strategies for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing Twitter data." Sight, Sound, and Practice: An Exploration of the Ways Visualizations Can Support Learning to Compose Ben Lauren Bill Hart-Davidson "Our invitation is to think about composing as inclusive of written texts, multimodal webtexts, and all the things writing and rhetoric folks would normally be asked to help students improve in creating. But for this experience, we don't want to stop there. We want you to also think about composing other things. Think about films. Think about dance choreography. Think about baking pies. Think about music. How do humans learn to compose these things? How can a visualization aid in learning these things?" Heather Noel Turner Laura Gonzales "In a special issue about data visualization in writing studies, we use this webtext to both make connections between translation and data visualization and to argue that as our fields continue developing methodologies for and orientations to linking writing with visualization, we should take time to honor the communities and spaces for whom visual and alphabetic communication have always been inherently connected." Brightness Behind the Eyes: Rendering Firefighters’ Literacies Visible Timothy R. Amidon "This webtext outlines how decisions about data collection, segmenting, organizing, coding, structuring, styling, and modeling data influenced, in turn, which elements of literate practice were emphasized within the visualizations." Networked (Writing) Centers: Utilizing Online Visualization Tools on Large Multi-Institutional Data Sets Joseph Cheatle, Genie Giaimo, Candace Hastings, Christine Modey "We focus on a corpus of around 2 million words and four types of data visualization to make arguments about the larger field of writing center studies. We also address the value of cross-institutional work for writing center studies, particularly related to documents (e.g., sessions notes) that are often under-utilized at individual institutions." Madeleine Sorapure Austin Fauni "How can we—as citizens and consumers, as teachers and students—develop the ability to understand, explore, and analyze data of various kinds in order to inform our decisions on matters that are important to us? The Dear Data project described in this webtext suggests that asking students to produce and visualize small personal data can open a process of engaging with data analytically and creatively." About Kairos Kairos is a refereed open-access online journal exploring the intersections of rhetoric, technology, and pedagogy. The journal reaches a wide audience -- currently 45,000 readers per month, hailing from Ascension Island to Zimbabwe (and from every top-level domain country code in between); our international readership typically runs about 4,000 readers per month. Kairos publishes bi-annually, in August and January, with occasional special issues in May. Our current acceptance rate for published articles is approximately 10%.Since its first issue in January of 1996, the mission of Kairos has been to publish scholarship that examines digital and multimodal composing practices, promoting work that enacts its scholarly argument through rhetorical and innovative uses of new media. Kairos is one of the leading peer-reviewed journals in English Studies, made so by its dedication to academic quality through the journal’s extensive peer-review and editorial production processes.We publish "webtexts," which are texts authored specifically for publication on the WorldWide Web. Webtexts are scholarly examinations of topics related to technology in English Studies fields (e.g., rhetoric, composition, technical and professional communication, education, creative writing, language and literature) and related fields such as media studies, informatics, arts technology, and others. Besides scholarly webtexts, Kairos publishes teaching-with-technology narratives, reviews of print and digital media, extended interviews with leading scholars, interactive exchanges, "letters" to the editors, and news and announcements of interest.Because questions of copyright, intellectual property, and fair use often arise for scholars who wish to create digital publications, we have developed a statement of copyright that encourages authors to carefully consider their rights and responsibilities while advocating for a strengthening of fair use. Our copyright statement also provides authors with the opportunity to build upon and republish their work because we are committed to the continuing development of intellectual work and believe that authors should retain the rights to scholarly production.We invite you to share your views about Kairos, and we hope you'll consider submitting your work for our editorial review.
