Book overview. This edited collection explores theoretical and practical questions about multimodal, digital production through lenses of rhetoric/composition, digital writing studies, English studies, and the humanities.
Abstract. This chapter rhetorically analyzes texts from different digital venues, including webtexts, blogs, Techrhet, and Twitter, to illustrate how moves that define traditional scholarship can also define digital scholarship, scholarly activity happens in new ways in these digital spaces, and digital spaces serve as a direct outlet to formal scholarly productions.
