Logan: Utah State UP, 2004.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Sirc emphasizes logics of <b>annotation<\/b> and <b>collection<\/b> as he<br \/>\ndevelops a new media pedagogy drawing on the variations of the box as it figures<br \/>\ninto the work of Joseph Cornell, Walter Benjamin, and George Maciunas. Moving<br \/>\naway from essayist prose, Sirc deflects the related notions of &quot;articulate<br \/>\ncoherence, conventional organization, and extensive development&quot; (115) and<br \/>\ninstead considers the the &quot;formal and material concerns [that] guide a<br \/>\nnewly-mediated pedagogical practice&quot; (114). The pedagogy involves association,<br \/>\nintensities, desire, and lack&#8211;&quot;student as passionate designer&quot; (115) and writer<br \/>\nas &quot;dissatisfied collector, one impatiently seeking pleasure&quot; (117). Further<br \/>\nemphases include open-endedness, &quot;the raw, then, not the cooked&quot; (120),<br \/>\nelement(s) of play (121), a &quot;loose, unthematized collection; the parts not<br \/>\nnecessarily inflecting each other as in the traditional essay&quot; (120), and<br \/>\ncaesura.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It&#8217;s the idea of the prose catalogue. Text as a collection of interesting,<br \/>\npowerful statements&quot; (112).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The personally associational becomes key criteria&quot; (116).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The materially interesting, then, is what should guide acquisition&quot; (116).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It wasn&#8217;t a question of cutting edge technology&quot; (119). ^Implication:<br \/>\nbricolage and prioritizing <i>composition<\/i> over newest! technologies.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Involved here is an aesthetic of the found object, of interesting, quirky,<br \/>\nsmall-t truths one stumbles upon&quot; (118).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Arrangement of materials and notational jottings is a desperately important<br \/>\ncompositional skill&quot; (123).<\/p>\n<p>Charles Simic on Cornell&#8217;s boxes: &quot;Somewhere in the city [&#8230;] there are four<br \/>\nor five still-unknown objects that belong together&quot; (125).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The refusal to allow text as open-ended, un-screwed-down box, rushing<br \/>\ninstead to impose on it the mild boredom of order, is a concern I have with much<br \/>\ncomputers and writing scholarship today&quot; (120). <\/p>\n<p>Terms: wunderkabinette (116), &quot;composition as craving&quot; (117), caesura (123),<br \/>\n&quot;blips of unfinished text&quot; (124), textual possibilities (125), curio cabinet<br \/>\n(125), survival kit (124), pulsion and evaluation (124). <\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt>Related sources<\/dt>\n<dd>Benjamin, Walter. <i>Charles Baudelaire: A Lyric Poet in the Era of High<br \/>\n  Capitalism<\/i>.
