“The Paradigmatic Aftermath of Digital Rhetoric“
“Reparative practices like metacognition, “rhetorical sabotage,” rhetorical apathy, and mutual aid are tuned to collapse, not to return—a reminder that, if collapse is infinitely scalable, then so are repair responses. The paradigmatic aftermath of digital rhetoric is the time for identifying, teaching, and performing ecology’s fragility by finding and practicing repair of ongoing wreckage or in anticipation of ongoing wreckage.”
