So a continually repeated reminder present in Reyman was the "it's not new, it's just a different manifest" that she begins on pg 4 and continues to explore through the copyright laws. It seems the phrase "these tensions are not new" is the phrase du jour. What I found really really helpful, and what I want to touch on here, is her explication on pg 7 of what is at work in intellectual property

I want to draw more heavily from Mirel's "Writing and Database Technology: Extending the Definition of Writing in the Workplace" than Spilka, although there are numerous connections between the two.

Important for my project: Latour claims that classical sociology has an orientation to participants because the sociologist has metalanguage to the communities language. Latour's relationist sociology, following Machiavelli, avoids this abstract reductionist: "it has no fixed reference frames, and consequently no metalangauge. It expects the actors to understand what they are and what it is" (qtd

I will be examining how researchers across humanities disciplines have researched the issue of the rhetorical construction of queer spaces and its impact on both queer identity and rhetoric as a discipline. This issue will involve integrating scholarship in sociology, ethnography, history, and Composition and Rhetoric because queer issues are not housed in one singular discipline, but instead
