The "Invisible" Resonance: (Re)Imagining Writing for a "Just Present" in Local and Global Technoscapes

Fri, April 12, 9:35 to 11:05am, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 3, Room 301

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium inquires into the ‘invisible’ intertextual moves made by writers in their digitally mediated writing that can offer potential ways of disrupting dominant ideologies and norms. Education scholars from literacy studies and teacher education share four different research projects that critically trace this intertextuality to interrogate the moves writers make, knowingly or unknowingly, that both contest and sustain power structures. Working from diverse contexts, scales, media, and populations, panellists examine how educators and researchers might take these learnings to build and support ‘just’ writing/writers across media. The following research questions guide this symposium: What ideas, discourses, and practices get taken up and find resonance? What does this tell us about power in digital spaces?
