[ rhetorics ] :: [ places ] :: [ publics ] |
The brief, flash-based game Small Worlds can illustrate some of the curious connections between human movement, wayfinding activities, mapping, and rhetoric.
The screencast below takes us through a portion of the game, revealing in part how our interaction with the world is simultaneously exploratory and discursive--how we make maps and understand locatedness via movement, contextualization, movement, and recontextualization...
...an ongoing investigation of rhetorics, places, and publics.
We are a group of researchers in English Studies at Ball State University, exploring the relationships between discourse, placemaking, and the shifting domains of public-ness.
