For this post, you will be remediating blog post #1 (which was about rhetorical situation--go back and take a look at your post).
You choose what medium to remediate to--it can be as hard or as easy as you would like (BUT a wordle does not count as a remediation). Think of this like a practice run/playing around with remediation before you actually have to do it for a grade. So have some fun with. =)
Depending on the medium you choose, depends on how you will post to the blog. It might be a link, a video, a jpg, etc.
Include with your remediation a quick (like a couple sentence) explanation about why your remediation is, in fact, a remediation (hint: you might want to use what you've been reading as evidence and support).
Due: Monday, February 7, 2011.

ReplyDeleteBitzer noted that, "a natural context of persons, events, objects, relations, and an exigence which strongly invites utterance.” I created a Glogster poster featuring Martin Luther King Junior and posing the question, "Without the situation, would the dream exist?" The motivation by the Martin Luther King Junior's rhetorical work, The Dream Speech, was necessary in order for the conception of the speech to come about.

ReplyDeleteIn JFK's inagural speech, he said "Ask not what your country can do for you, rather ask what you can do for your country." This was moving to the nation. JFK made good use of style. Bitzer said "The rhetor alters reality by bringing into existence a discourse of such a character that the audience, in thought and action, is so engaged that it becomes mediator of change.” JFK altered reality in a way by showing his charachter so that they audience (nation) was inspired by him.

ReplyDeleteIn my first blog, I talked about the rhetorical situation and how writing cannot be done without it. There is always a purpose behind a composition. I created a Glogster based on the speech from the movie V for Vendetta. The main character, V, is introducing himself and what he stands for to Evey, the female lead. The situation at hand is that the government is being unfair to its people and V has a plan to take them down. He recites many speeches in the movie with every intention of bombing Parliament and overthrowing the government. His speeches always have a rhetorical situation behind them. This speech, which is my favorite in the movie, uses many devices such as repetition and alliteration in order to persuade the audience.
I think mine is a lot like Kelly's because we both present a speech and the reason behind it. We both agree that there has to be a situation for the discourse to occur.
In my first blog I stated how rhetoric is often put in the world in order to change something. the rhetorical situation is necessary to the person who is composing in order for them to feel the need to change someone's reality. I used the example of the documentary Food Inc. I made a glogster about the documentary. I was aiming at the point that without the rhetorical situation of people not knowing what is in their food, there would be no need for such a documentary as this.

n my first blog posting, I reviewed Bitzer’s reading on rhetoric and rhetorical situation. Like many of my classmates, I believe that a rhetorical situation has to be present in order for rhetoric to occur. That is why my remediation of this first post portrays that same meaning. I decided to do a “glogster” page on the rhetorical situation of color and how if there wasn’t any color in our world, people, specifically children would never get to ask the basic questions of “Why is the sky blue?” and “Why is the grass green?” These questions for children are the building blocks of observation and they all begin with a rhetorical situation.

Something that I find to be remediation has to do with Audio. Think about how time has changed with being able to access listening to your favorite tunes. It started out as a record disk, then to a cassette tape, then to a CD, and now we have our iPods. They continuously keep finding ways to have our music more accessible, with as many songs as possible. Records used to hold very few songs, where now with our iPod we can hold thousands of songs. Not only do we have our iPods, but we have compact disks that can burn over 20 songs on them, even up to 100. The idea of being able to listen to our music is still present, but the amount we can store and listen to continuously changes.

ReplyDeleteI chose an image from the Kennedy-Nixon televised debate because it is the perfect example of how not using rhetorical situation can be ruinous. Because Nixon didn't consider his audience, the media, or the context, he came out a loser. On a black and white television, he came off as washed out in a light suit, while Kennedy appeared crisp and sharp in his dark suit. He came off as stuffy and old fashioned in his rhetoric while Kennedy spoke in fresh words. One considered the rhetorical situation and one did not. We all know who won the election that year.
To me the remediation is about the transformation from one media genre to another form. so to accomplish this I took the first blog post we did and summed it up to one quote from Bitzer to describe what rhetoric is. After that I signed up for a Twitter account and reposted the quote as my first ever "tweet." Below I have attached the the link to my newly formed Twitter page and my first tweet about rhetoric.

In my first blog post on rhetorical situation, I wrote about how there must be a rhetorical situation in order to create rhetoric. I thought a current example of this would be Obama’s response to the Giffords shooting in Arizona-- the situation is one that was marked by exigence, audience and constraints, and the speech altered the reality of the situation after being delivered. Transforming the speech the President delivered into a poster/art form on Glogster is remediation because it keeps content of the original yet shifts media in communicating the information.

ReplyDeleteMy remediation was of Bitzer's article on rhetoric and the rhetorical situation. I used glogster to create a poster that was a summary of Bitzer's article in a humorous point of view. This poster is an example of remediation because it is a modification of a composition that came before it. This poster is a fresh view of that Bizer has already said, in a new form of media, but it its much shorter, easier to understand, and much more amusing.
I remediated my blog post into a prezi, which is a more engaging and interactive format than a simple long, dense paragraph of information. I tried to make it more accessible and divided into simpler sections that along with the interactive interface would make the post more accessible than the strictly factual blog post I made earlier this semester.

I used Prezi for my remediation. A factor in remediation is improvement. In the first blog post, we discussed key terms and phrases in Bitzer's piece on "The Rhetorical Situation". In my remediation, I took the important pieces of the article and plugged them into my production. I think its a lot easier to understand in this way rather than searching through a plain article in black and white. The interaction with the audience also makes it much more memorable.

Rhetorical Situation is an idea or issue that has sparked the interest of a group of people. In my last Blog I used the movie Across the Universe as a remediation of a historical account of the lives of Americans through the late 60s and 70s. My example for today’s Blog is about a social issue that has been spoken about and should be of utmost importance to American’s who seek justice under the American Constitution. My remediation is Hollywood stating a message about out Government through the movie Law Abiding Citizen.

For my remediation of the first blog post, I created a glogster which visualizes the use of rhetoric in contemporary media. In my first blog post, I used the Onion News Network as an example of how one could use carefully crafted rhetoric to make a news article more satirical and less offensive. Rather than explaining in several paragraphs of how rhetoric can be used, visualizing an example allows the reader to better absorb the information presented.

ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure that it was possible to do this project as a remediation using only internet sources. The computer is a media defined by its use of pixels. If this example in the book is true, then what we are doing is actually a hypermediation. "Digital art can thus be openly hypermediated....Netwash6.9 is self referential: it takes as its content the medium (the Internet) on which the image itself appears" (Bolter & Grusin, 134) For this project, I've taken images from the same medium that my first post was involved with.
I took advantage of this blog to play around with glogster! In my first blog I explained what I thought rhetorical situation was, which was persuasive writing. I thought at first that not all writing was rhetoric. But as the second blog came around, I realized that rhetoric can be defined as effective writing, which is the point for all writing no matter if it's for simple entertainment or if it's writing to inform something critical. I showed this in my glogster when it says "anything from pretty fireworks to a very important speech!" (click play!) I wrote basic and general definitions on the glogster to explain rhetorical situation.

ReplyDeleteSix weeks ago, Our first response to Bitzer's work was that every piece of rhetoric has rhetorical situation. I wrote that a rhetor's situation has a significant amount to do with his or her purpose for speech. In this clip, I have used John Nash's Nobel Prize acceptance speech as an example for how the rhetorical situation affects the rhetor used.

ReplyDeleteBitzer explained how he felt that different events that occur in one's personal life, or surroundings cause one to go into detail to help aid the situation. Basically meaning that a situation causes discourse. In my globster I did the situation of Abortion. I that without the situation of Abortion happening throughout the Nation and World, that the case Roe v. Wade would not have been before the Supreme Court.
Bitzer felt very strongly that there were three constituents of rhetoric. They are exigence, audience and the constraints. I tied these to MLK's I have a dream speech. I did a powerpoint and can't upload it right now but a powerpoint is a remediation of my blog post because it is in a different genre or form of media.
