    • Gendlin, Three Assertions
      Gendlin talks here about what we might call 'the wisdom of the body.' He addresses hunches and intuition and the unconscious (which should make some of you happy -- or happier.) A lot of his thinking should be familiar to you by now. He is trying to explain how we get little bits of knowledge that move us (and I would add our writing) forward. Can you pause, listen to your own
        .....
      and see what you have to say in response?

    • Jason Palmeri
      In response to Jason Palmeri, discuss what it means to you to be a _________. Put your professional identity in the blank, eg: a compositionist, a sociologist, an English prof, etc. This is meant to be a quick, short piece of writing. No more than a page or two, and if you need more than a half hour, you are thinking too much. Complete by Feb. 2.

    • Katherine Hayles
      Hayles makes several interesting cases for how and why digital media are transforming the landscape of reading, writing, and making as well as our understanding of our bodies in relation to knowing. What do you make of her arguments? Choose at least two quotes and respond here by Feb. 2.

    • Shipka, last chapter from _Toward a Composition Made Whole_
      Jody Shipka argues for 'the importance of theoretical, research, and pedagogical frameworks that help to illuminate the spatial, temporal, embodied, affective, and material dimensions of writing.' Clearly her own work is in line with our work in this seminar. So, as a final conversation (and looking toward your final reflections), how does your own work this semester illustrate what Shipka is advocating?

    • Van Manen on Writing, Drawing, & Entering
      Van Manen writes poetically about writing, trying to evoke in the reader what writing is and how we experience it. Choose one or two lines that speak to you and muse on them in writing. In other words, how do van Manen's musings speak to you? Can you see yourself in his descriptions? Do they resonate? Do they bring forth a felt sense?

    • Van Manen, Part 2: Gazing, Seeking, Touching, Traversing
      "Seeking meaning," "inducing a questioning wonder," "orienting the reader reflectively to a region of lived experience" What do such phrases evoke in you as a writer/reader? Do they induce a questioning wonder? Do they make your more interested in or excited about the prospect of writing? What else does (or does not) speak to you?
