The courses traces cool through McLuhan, Baraka and<br \/>\nRobert Farris Thompson; the pedagogical model advocates juxtaposition as an<br \/>\nelectrate strategy for the production of hypertext (a making\/doing project<br \/>\nrather than interpreting or coming to awareness\/appreciation). Using the locus<br \/>\nof a single moment, 1963, Rice puts Berlin, Miller and Faigley in conversation<br \/>\nand considers the significance of the &#8217;63 CCCC in L.A. relative to cultural<br \/>\nstudies in composition, including Kitzhaber&#8217;s reservations about the writing<br \/>\nmachine&#8217;s mechanistic orientation. He also refers to Landow on students&#8217;<br \/>\nwriting from scraps using juxtaposition (26).<\/p>\n<p>The pedagogical approach, then, is combinatory, drawing together cultural<br \/>\nstudies, hypertext and juxtaposition. Their combination is demonstrated in<br \/>\nthe pursuit of cool writing. It is located in a particular moment and<br \/>\nproceeds, in the courses Rice explains, by considering cultural forces and by<br \/>\ncontrasting the idyllic and iconic set against the turbulent and detached (230).<br \/>\nMindful of two cools (one technological, the other social), students in the<br \/>\ncourses develop online handbooks of cool (how to write cool, not how to be<br \/>\ncool).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Terms: Ulmer&#8217;s chorography (226), Nelson&#8217;s hypertext (228)<\/p>\n<p>&quot;In addition, these sites [Netscape, Yahoo, etc.] proposed cool as long<br \/>\nlistings of out-of-the-ordinary web sites because of either design or content.<br \/>\nUsually, the more <b>bizarre<\/b> or <b>eclectic<\/b>, the <b>cooler<\/b> the site&quot;<br \/>\n(222).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The <b>lesson<\/b> of corporate usage of cool, then, it is a <b>rhetorical<\/b><br \/>\none. The pedagogical challenge is to resituate the popular application of cool<br \/>\nas an electronic and cultural phenomenon (TV and Web usage) into a <b>curriculum<\/b><br \/>\nthat teaches <b>electronic rhetorical strategies<\/b>&quot; (223).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The attempt by <b>composition<\/b> studies to include <b>cultural studies<\/b><br \/>\nin its curriculum often concentrated on the questions or <b>representation<\/b>,<br \/>\n<b>ideology<\/b>, and <b>power<\/b>&quot; (225). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;What this brief survey of the field tells me, then, is that while <b><br \/>\ncultural studies<\/b> and <b>hypertext<\/b> have been thought of as<br \/>\ninterconnected, and while <b>hypertext<\/b> and <b>juxtaposition<\/b> have been<br \/>\nconsidered interrelated, there still exists a need to <b>bring all of these<br \/>\nitems together<\/b>&quot; (226). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;Engelbart&#8217;s writing machine resembled McLuhan&#8217;s cool mosaic, a<br \/>\ntechnologically shaped writing system where disciplines juxtapose with one<br \/>\nanother&quot; (228). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;The <b>icon<\/b> motivates a form of discourse determined by <b>juxtaposition<\/b>.<br \/>\nCelebrity images become appropriated and reentered into cultural expression by<br \/>\nway of <b>unlikely arrangements<\/b>&quot; (230). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;The writer of the <b>handbook<\/b> [<i>Ars<\/i>], then, acted as a <b>compiler<\/b>.<br \/>\nAny <b>original writing<\/b> found itself <b>lost<\/b> amid quoted texts&quot; (231).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Borrowing from McLuhan&#8217;s 1963 musings on cool, Baudrillard deemed current<br \/>\ndiscourse cool because of its emphasis on <b>commutation<\/b> rather than <b><br \/>\nsignification<\/b>. In cool discourse, Baudrillard claimed, &#8216;<b>signs are<br \/>\nexchanged against each other rather than against the real<\/b>&#8216; (7). (233)&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;With cool writing, the notion that the computer-networked classroom is a<br \/>\nplace for looking outward to cyberspace and its threatening, challenging,<br \/>\ndifferent ways of expression for purposes of evaluation and<br \/>\nanalysis becomes instead the idea that <b>we are already in such a place<\/b> and<br \/>\nthat we bring to those situations cultural events, transformations, and<br \/>\nstrategies.
