Our fellow citizens, too, who in proportion to their love of liberty keep a steady eye upon the means of sustaining it, do not require to be reminded of the duty they owe to themselves to remedy all essential defects in so vital a part of their system. While they are sensible that every evil attendant upon its operation is not necessarily indicative of a bad organization, but may proceed from temporary causes, yet the habitual presence, or even a single instance, of evils which can be clearly traced to an organic defect will not, I trust, be over-looked through a too scrupulous veneration for the work of their ancestors. The Constitution was an experiment committed to the virtue and intelligence of the great mass of our country-men, in whose ranks the framers of it themselves were to perform the part of patriotic observation and scrutiny, and if they have passed from the stage of existence with an increased confidence in its general adaptation to our condition we should learn from authority so high the duty of fortifying the points in it which time proves to be exposed rather than be deterred from approaching them by the suggestions of fear or the dictates of misplaced reverence.

Design gives us the room to rethink the semiotic activity with which we engage in our classrooms. Rhetoric and composition has been theorizing multimodality for over a half of century (see Jason Palmeri’s work on the history of multimodality in composition studies).

Further, as the faculty who developed the Revisions course explained in our curricular materials, “an underlying strategy of the class is NOT to separate oral, written and visual communication, but rather to help students come to an understanding” that purposeful selection of mode and medium “always involves making rhetorical decisions” and requires “thoughtful and aware modification for particular audiences and circumstances”. In other words, our job was not to teach the discrete conventions of each mode, but to help students consider which modes were most appropriate in a given circumstance, how they might be integrated, and how they might be leveraged to achieve the desired impact on a target audience.

It so follows, Hegel explains, that labor is the work ofpossession, an act of the will to shape one’s surroundings: “to impose a form on a thing is the mode of taking possession” (Phil. Right, 47).

On the one hand, the coincidence be­tV11een for1nation and disappearance of form is diachronic: a past form cedes place to a new fonn, and one thus changes identity or "self" in the course of time. On tl1e other hand, the coincidence between for1nation and disappearance of for1n is synchronic: the threat of the explosion of form structurally inhabits every forn1

The construction of the link to the object de1nands the formation of images, or "second-order maps," and thereafter of signs. In detail, the stages are the following: "the nonconscious neural signaling of an individual organ­ism begets the proto-self, which pennits core self and core consciousness, which allow for an autobiographical self, which permits extended consciousness. At the end of the chain, ex­tended consciousness permits conscience."1

It is the V11eakest because the certainty of the continuity betV11een the neuronal and the mental can obviously never be a strictly scientific postulate. It necessarily constitutes a philosophical or epistemological position and such positions are not al­V11ays clearly articulated.

How inexplicable are these facts on the ordinary view of creation! Why should the brain be enclosed in a box composed of such numerous and such extraordinarily shaped pieces of bone? As Owen has remarked, the benefit derived from the yielding of the separate pieces in the act of parturition of mammals, will by no means explain the same construction in the skulls of birds. Why should similar bones have been created in the formation of the wing and leg of a bat, used as they are for such totally different purposes? Why should one crustacean, which has an extremely complex mouth formed of many parts, consequently always have fewer legs; or conversely, those with many legs have simpler mouths? Why should the sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils in any individual flower, though fitted for such widely different purposes, be all constructed on the same pattern ?

If it could be proved that the Hottentot had descended from the Negro, I think he would be classed under the Negro group, however much he might differ in colour and other important characters from negroes.

Finally, with respect to the comparative value of the various groups of species, such as orders, sub-orders, families, sub-families, and genera, they seem to be, at least at present, almost arbitrary. Several of the best botanists, such as Mr Bentham and others, have strongly insisted on their arbitrary value. Instances could be given amongst plants and insects, of a group of forms, first ranked by practised naturalists as only a genus, and then raised to the rank of a sub-family or family; and this has been done, not because further research has detected important structural differences, at first overlooked, but because numerous allied species, with slightly different grades of difference, have been subsequently discovered.

We might try our lives by a thousand simple tests; as, for instance, that the same sun which ripens my beans illumines at once a system of earths like ours. If I had remembered this it would have prevented some mistakes. This was not the light in which I hoed them. The stars are the apexes of what wonderful triangles! What distant and different beings in the various mansions of the universe are contemplating the same one at the same moment! Nature and human life are as various as our several constitutions. Who shall say what prospect life offers to another? Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant? We should live in all the ages of the world in an hour; ay, in all the worlds of the ages. History, Poetry, Mythology!—I know of no reading of another's experience so startling and informing as this would be. The greater part of what my neighbors call good I believe in my soul to be bad, and if I repent of anything, it is very likely to be my good behavior. What demon possessed me that I behaved so well? You may say the wisest thing you can, old man—you who have lived seventy years, not without honor of a kind—I hear an irresistible voice which invites me away from all that.

Interpretive Communities

There may well be a dominant reading, but this can erode over time if the “interpretive community” (Fish 1980) to which it speaks changes or the message lost entirely if that com-munity is decisively disrupted or displaced.14

It follows, then, that when one interpretation wins out over another, it is not because the first has been shown to be in accordance with the facts but because it is from the perspective of its assumptions that the facts are now being specified. It is these assumptions, and not the facts they make possible, that are at stake in any critical dispute.

Nor can this be just any old deficiency; it will not do, for example, to fault your predecessors for failing to notice that a poem is free of split infinitives or dangling participles.

The lack an interpretation supplies must be related to the criteria by which the literary community recog­nizes and evaluates the objects of its professional attention.

Rhetorically the new position announces itself as a break from the old, but in fact it is radically dependent on the old, because it is only in the context of some differential relationship that it can be perceived as new or, for that matter, perceived at all.

The Eskimo reading is unaccepta­ble because there is at present no interpretive strategy for pro­ducing it, no way of "looking" or reading (and remember, all acts of looking or reading are "ways") that would result in the emergence of obviously Eskiri:lO meanings. This does not mean, however, that no such strategy could ever come into play, and it is not difficult to imagine the circumstances under which it would establish itself.

ccording to Dobrin, without theory, "composition scholarship will stagnate, and composition as a field will be defined within the narrow confines of a service orientation" (23). We risk invisibility and illegiti macy, and those attributes would have dire consequences for the field as a whole.

So when Fish says “form” he means “school grammar” and syntax.

Winterowd states that “current-traditionalism simply has no advocates” (En-glish 14), and among compositionists this is generally true.

Translated into pedagogy, this belief typically results in some version of current-traditionalism. And despite some novel elements, Fish’s approach to writing instruction is indeed current-traditional, within a belletristic conception of English as the refined appreciation of literature.

Meanwhile, current-traditional composition already has its prominent public intellectual: Stanley Fish.

it continues to frame public attitudes toward writing pedagogy, and thus—to the extent that the public assesses practice and influences policy—continues to influence com-position.

For current-traditional rhetoric, reality is rational, regular and certain - a realm which when it is not static is at least in a predictable, harmonious, symmetrical balance. Meaning thus exists independent of the perceiving mind, reposing in external reality.

But no one needs to get a terminal cancer to enter this place.

In Greek thought there are two ways of viewing time: Chronos and Kairos. Chronos Time is chronological and measurable. Kairos Time is more open-ended and expansive such that one can experience an “eternity” in a brief instant. It is not a cold finality at all. While we mainly live in Chronos Time, it is possible to experience Kairos as a place in which to abide and to breathe deeply without respect to calendars and deadlines. Too often we live only for the clock and fail to notice how, in the absence of incremental time, we would be more able to see the pattern in the rug, how the stained glass windows of our lives make sense as wholes and not as mere pieces.

Opponents of President Trump face two battles.

Published in the days leading up to the 45th president’s inauguration, two new books purport to show a path forward for liberals in Trump’s America.

In his introduction to “What We Do Now,” co-editor Dennis Johnson writes of the widespread “despair,” “grief” and “disillusionment” that followed the election.

The Russian dissident and chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov drew upon long familiarity with that process when he tweeted: “The point of modern propaganda isn’t only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.”

Frankly, he didn’t move a lot from where he was. He did a lot of the things that he did through executive action and not through bipartisan legislation.

“It was a huge crowd, a magnificent crowd. I haven’t seen such a crowd as big as this,” Mr. Hoyer told CNN, quoting Mr. Trump. He added that Mr. Trump did not “spend a lot of time on that, but it was clear that it was still on his mind.”

PETER BAKER,

"This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period,"

January 20th, 2017 will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.

For too long, a small group in our nation's capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.

Today's ceremony, however, has very special meaning because today, we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the people.

To point out and decry rac-ism (or any other social ill) is not the same as adopting a truly public subjec-tivity. Ironically enough, it may be a way to write oneself outside the scene of public rhetorical action. To simply call for an end to racism (or an end to any other public crisis) risks closing the line of intervention too soon. We leave no space to consider the multiple networks across which this crisis is embedded, and through which we may rework the relations of power.

Are we inadvertently reproducing discourses that cultivate exceptional public subjects

Rather than continuing to think of themselves only as subjects who relate through feeling, I hope that the class also gave them some opportunity to think of themselves as subjects who re-late through question, investigation, and inquiry.

Their method almost perfectly mirrors Benjamin's method in the Ar-cades Project, which theorizes the streets as "the dwelling place of the collec-tive," which is "an eternally unquiet, eternally agitated being."

The second, you have to live with for a while, before you can hear where it wants you to go. But for that, you need time and attention and effort, resources that are deeply endangered, in the era when all music is available to anyone from anywhere all the time.

Even the most interesting of them rarely survived repeated listening. I wanted a kind of music that could concentrate me, that could teach me how to concentrate. Music that would keep getting richer and deeper, the more I listened.

Fiction is a spreading, polysemous, relational network that captures the way that we and our worlds create each other.

But I wanted to tell a story in which the company was us—both in its making and its propagating and in its perpetuation through consumers. We are all the machine. We are all the Octopus.

It’s a way in which literature can go beyond science. It’s a tremendous moment to be alive when it comes to new myths, new stories, new configurations for understanding who we are.

And if you can hold those two somehow concurrently in mind—the belief in the representation as the thing it represents, and also awareness of the representation as mere representation—then you get closer to the fundamental paradox of consciousness.

I felt literature was the place for the grand synthetic aerial view I was in danger of losing if I stayed with physics.

The funny thing is that they would never launch that criticism about believability of character against a novel that is clearly written on the terms of noncharacter-driven, nonevent-driven, postmodern metafiction.

To me, that sense of complete commensurability between form and content at the level of the individual sentence is really what writing is all about.

But it’s really the individual sentence that I work at again and again until it becomes the thing it’s trying to describe.

And I’m a completely compulsive sentence-level rewriter.

One thing that moved me is that three months later The New Yorker ran its “New Yorkistan” cover.

I had an insight at the beginning of the book into how completely stripped of reflective capability modern life can be. And it was great to realize how strong my memory could get when I deprived myself of firsthand research information. This book was really written in the absence of reference materials.

“The first rule of any classroom,” he reminds himself the first day in prison. “Never resort to irony.”

The thing that makes reading and writing suspect in the eyes of the market economy is that it’s not corrupted. It’s a threat to the GNP, to the gene engineer. It’s an invisible, sedate, almost inert process. Reading is the last act of secular prayer.

The currency he was speaking of is very much the care and tending of individual salvation.
