Keywords in Making: A Rhetorical Primer - Jason Tham

Descriere Keywords in Making: A Rhetorical Primer - Jason Tham

\nKeywords Series\n \nEdited by Jason Tham\n \n \n\n \nFrom Accessibility to Visual Semiotics, from Augmentation to Writing Studio, and from 3D Printing to Wireframing, major sections of KEYWORDS IN MAKING demonstrate how words, semantics, and terminologies create and sustain a particular discourse community consisting of makers and designers. This edited collection aims to be a lexical resource for rhetorical inventors and technical communicators, including writers, inventors, instructors, and program administrators who identify with the maker community. With one hundred omnibus terms subject to analysis, interpretation, reinterpretation, and expansion, this collection is a primer to research and practice in design and innovation powered by the popularized maker culture, education, and movement. Each entry in this collection conceptualizes a particular keyword's role in making as an inventive and rhetorical activity. Contributors provide application examples and pedagogical approaches that flesh out their keywords in relation to professional experiences while offering recommendations for future actions. KEYWORDS IN MAKING presents a compelling argument for why making matters to rhetoric and technical communication.\n \n \n\n \nAbout the Editor\n \nJason Tham is Associate Professor of Technical Communication and Rhetoric at Texas Tech University. He co-directs the User Experience Lab and is the faculty sponsor for the STC Student Chapter at TTU.
