{"product_id":"social-mediations-donna-lecourt-9780822948179","title":"Social Mediations: Writing for Digital Public Spheres","description":"Rhetoric and composition scholar Donna LeCourt combines theoretical inquiry, qualitative research, and rhetorical analysis to examine what it means to write for the \"public\" in an age when the distinctions between public and private have eroded. Public spaces are increasingly privatized, and individual subjectivities have been reconstructed according to market terms. Part critique and part road map, \u003ci\u003eSocial Mediations\u003c\/i\u003e begins with a critical reading of digital public pedagogies, then turns to developing a new theory that can guide a more effective writing pedagogy. LeCourt offers a theory based in embodied relationality that uses information economies to develop public spheres. She highlights how information commodities generate value through circulation, orchestrate relationships among people, and support unequal power structures. By demonstrating how we can use information capital for social change rather than market expansion, writers and readers are encouraged to seek out encounters with cultural and political impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donna Lecourt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822948176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822948179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Donna Lecourt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45934313079039,"sku":"9780822948179","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf3d282e-d02c-4dc3-994c-5182991a8e84.jpg?v=1721790872","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-mediations-donna-lecourt-9780822948179","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
