• Symbolizing Space: Nondiscursive Composing of the Invisible

  Joddy Murray

  Abstract. As technologies challenge symbol-making, so too is composing with the most ineffable, the most ethereal, the most challenging mode of text: space. How do we compose using volume? Space is largely a nondiscursive symbol system, a visual absence that is manipulated and, therefore, is rhetorical—an architecture of the invisible.
