"It is more radical, more democratic, and more difficult, to teach a course where students choose their own topics, choose their own voices, and work out the meaning of their experiences for themselves, whether through personal writing or research, than it is to teach a course where students are regarded as cultural dupes who must be enlightened about their oppression."

Queer Rhetoric and the Pleasures of the Archive

Jonathan Alexander and Jacqueline Rhodes
Queering the borders of knowledge production, we offer “Queer Rhetoric and the Pleasures of the Archive” in Enculturation along with a companion video at Technoculture: An Online Journal of Technology in Society. The Technoculture video distills our interrogation of logos, ethos, and pathos; the Enculturation piece builds on and expands that critique. We believe that this partnership—between authors, between genres, between journals—challenges those borders sanctioned and policed by the academy, and we hope that similar collaborations happen in the future.
