The Changing (and yet) Enduring Nature of Rhetoric and Writing: Findings from the Stanford Study of Writing Andrea A. Lunsford Stanford University
The ethical use of rhetoric and writing “cultivates the memory, the reasoning powers, the powers of extemporaneous expression, and the ability to defend views.” William McGuffey, author of The McGuffey Readers, 1836
PWR 1 Focus on Invention and Arrangement • Rhetorical analysis • Putting sources in conversation • Research-based argument
PWR 2 Focus on Delivery • Translate written to oral • Prepare presentation script • Use new media • Perform!
New Literacies • Characterized by “cyberspatial post-industrial mindset” (Knobel and Lankshear) • Collaborative, distributed • Participatory and performative • Less expert-centered • Not bound by traditional notions of intellectual property
The Goal of Rhetoric and Writing Is to help us learn to live—and to live well and ethically and productively—in the world.
