Our Cyberbodies, Ourselves: Conceptual Grounds for Teaching Commodities to Write

In 2008, Gary A. Olson wrote with good news. My article "Our Cyberbodies, Ourselves" had been "judged to be one of the most outstanding articles on technology published in JAC over the last two decades."

Olson and Lynn Worsham republished the piece in Plugged In: Technology, Rhetotric and Culture in a Posthuman Age.

The Condition of the Writing Class: Capital, Composition, Writing, and the Proletariat

The article marks a moment of transition. With this publication, I took up the work of producing a specifically Marxist theory of social-linguistic production. At the same time, I stopped working within the cyborg problematic that had organized and informed my earlier publications.

Cyborgs and Digital SoundWriting: Rearticulating Automated Speech Recognition Typing Programs

Abstract: Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) software technology deserves our careful attention and considered debate, if only because it enhances our human capacity to produce writing beyond the point of familiar recognition, that is, to the point where the familiar act of writing appears strange and wondrous. For the first time in our history, at the juncture of homo sapiens and homo superior, words from our mouths produce writing that challenges the idea of speech as ephemeral activity, shifts the site of composition from hand to mouth, and increases the efficiency with which we produce written text.

How Old Am I?: Composition Studies Meets Cyborg Gerontology, Nikhics, and the Universal Order of Gray Cyberpanthers

The article makes an interesting, linguistically silly contribution to the area of Marxist-inflected cyborg theory.

Review of Teaching Composition as a Social Process (McComiskey)

In 2001, I reviewed Bruce McComisky's Teaching Composition as a Social Process.

You can find the review in the archives of The Writing Instructor online journal.

Unconscious Writing in the Factory of the Social: A Class Theory of Negative, Allegorical Rhetoric

In 2007, I made an extended attempt to bring writing and composition theories in line with Adorno's Negative Dialectics and Marx's critique of political economy.

Our Cyberbodies, Ourselves: Conceptual Grounds for Teaching Commodities to Write

In 2002, I publish my first article in JAC, the premier theory journal in Rhetoric and Composition.
