Epistemology: study of knowledge, theory of
Techné: middle ground between theory and practice. Making to know, productive arts. Rhetoric is a techné.
Rhetorical Canon: there are 5... invention, memory, style, delivery and arrangement. A was her focus in this piece -- organization (e.g. the 5 paragraph essay as a canon of arrangement). The web juxtaposes things in a way to make you think more about them
Wunderkammer: wonder-cabinet. Collections of man-made, found objects. Joseph Cornell made his own, they usually have a theme. Visual canon or arrangement. Wonder is a type of learning: "an inter-mediate, highly particular state akin to a sort of suspension of the mind between ignorance and enlightenment that marks the end of unknowing and the beginning of knowing
Praxis: practice/doing, as opposed to theory, but with theory in mind (e.g. effective web design... you learn through trial and error, observation what works and doesn't – so when you go to make your own, you keep these things in mind)
MIDTERM PROMPT: Delagrange argues that "[p]roductive arts, or techné. . . occupy a middle ground between theory and practice, one that incorporates both abstract and applied knowledge," and notes that rhetoric can be considered as techné.
Argument is rhetoric. Produce a multi-modal argument about the evolving ways we produce, distribute, use, and/or reproduce information. It should reflect the four implications Delagrange assigns to what Delagrange calls "rhetoric as techné."
4 implications:
1. heuristics (process of making, remaking, iterative process)
2. situated specific to the embodied and material conditions of a perticular time and place
3. mobile and strategic, adaptable to changing circumstances
4. ethical, founded in specific beliefs and values which may or may not be that of the community
