Its basic premise is that any study of writing as practice leads toward embodied activity that involves varied semiotic modes and that implicates multiple times, places, and people. In this seminar, we will examine in depth some key examples of theoretical and empirical work in these areas. The examples are drawn from a variety of research areas, not only Writing Studies. To examine how to implement these approaches in studies of writing and literate activity, we will engage in a number of inquiry activities (practicing in effect how to plan, conduct and analyze research). Finally, students will explore the application of these approaches to current or projected research projects. Readings: Semiotic remediation as discourse practice, Paul Prior & Julie Hengst (Eds); Toward a composition made whole, Jody Shipka; Academic writing in a global context, Theresa Lillis & Mary Jane Curry; and individual readings that will include work by varied theorists and researchers (e.g., Asif Agha, Morana Alac, Charles Bazerman, Rebecca Black, Christine Casanave, Montserrat Castell�, Suresh Canagarajah, Ralph Cintron, Bill Hart-Davidson, Anne Dyson, Charles Goodwin, Gail Hawisher, Judith Irvine, Roz Ivanic, George Kamberelis, Valerie Kinloch, Wan Shun Eva Lam, Bruno Latour, Jay Lemke, Kevin Leander, Theresa Lillis, Luis Moll, Sigrid Norris, Elinor Ochs, Daniel Perrin, Ron Scollon, Jurgen Streeck, Christine Tardy, Valentin Voloshinov).
