accessing embodied deliverythrough multimodal
composing & teaching
Bre Garrett
Writing to me seems like walking down an endless train track. You know that your voyage will eventually end at a station, but the track seems to be stretching forever. Stepping from one cross bar to the next is a struggle, but it also gives a feeling of success and, in the end, it will get you to your destination.

What is embodied delivery?
What happens when we use embodied delivery as a heuristic to teach new media production?
How does embodied delivery, as a rhetorical concept, inform new media production and
writing pedagogy?

Pedagogy
Bodies and DeliveryWhat do I mean by embodied delivery? Body as Site and Means: Composer and Audience Inter-action
• Situated embodiment, situated knowledges (Donna Haraway)
• Body as complex and interactive composing material
• Body as an interface, a site of interaction and contact (Elizabeth Grosz)
• Bodies as topoi: means of negotiation between invention delivery
• Accessibility (interrogates normative constructions)
• Ethos and body as signifier
How can teachers re-embody writing, re-embody composing spaces? And, why: what difference does it make?
New Media Production = invention & delivery + composer & audience interaction negotiation among materials, means, and aims

Multimodal Video Productionin First-Year Composition
5-7 minutes multimodal video
Topic: develop a compelling inquiry question
The video answers the question (research through production)
Marketing plan that includes 3 locations for video distribution
• Pose an inquiry question that functions as a thesis
• Compose multimodal text for specific audiences, purposes, and contexts, including those beyond academic community
• Compose effectively combining modalities—visual, aural, print, digital—for public delivery
• Engage in critical reflection of your own composing
• Conduct research and work with multimodal forms of source representation
Project Learning Outcomes
• Prospectus
• Storyboard/outline
• Weekly blogging
• Mid- and post-project reflections on process
• Video marketing plan (delivery proposal)
• Reflective audience analysis
• Incorporate sources
• Transcripts/Narrations
• Peer-Response Feedback
• Editorial/Grammar

“I am thinking about how my video will affect the audience and how they will respond to my video.” - Nick
Sally’s BlogIdentification Across Difference
I should have paid more attention to the race and ethnicity aspects of sororities…I wish it [video] was more diverse than it is. I end up excluding audiences when that was not my intention” –Sally
“Three places other than Youtube that I will circulate my video is on Facebook, Attached in emails to friends, and printed out on CDs for people without access to the internet to watch.”

Author
Message Audience
▲ Embodied literacies differ for each writer
▲ Production as multimodal invention and delivery
▲ Delivery as an early-stage composing concern that consists of micro-processes – opportunities for reflection and intervention
▲ Including bodies, alongside technologies, as materials dimensions of composing
Embodied Delivery: New Media Production & Writing Studies
▲ Triangulation of outcomes, curricular design, and delivery▲ Assessment inclusive of student feedback▲ Mentoring teachers through collaborative research
▲ Studio Pedagogies: a space of doing through in-class collaboration, invention, and research.
Can we invent for a more accessible delivery—and as teachers be okay with “a rhetoric of difference”? (Kristin Lindgren “Bodies in Trouble”)
Embodied Delivery: Pedagogical Implications
Accessing Embodied Delivery
▲Designing accessibility for different bodies▲New media production as a space that opens access and bodily affordances – but not without direct intervention▲A critical discussion of unintentional norming and exclusion▲Reconsideration of identification across difference
▲A Pedagogy of Universal Design (Jay Dolmage, “Mapping Composition”)
How can we, as teachers, counter/challenge “institutional steep steps” (Dolmage) when teaching new media production?
And, how can we teach student-composers to foreground embodied delivery, casting the widest net possible for audience reception and participation?
