Only in rare cases does one find <b>imaginative curricula<\/b> that engage with visuality as a <b>serious<\/b> aspect of composition. George works through many of the default presumptions about visuality, its <b>history<\/b> as something most often aligned with <b>technical communication<\/b> (<b>charts<\/b>, <b>diagrams<\/b>, and <b>graphs<\/b>). Her central argument calls for a <b>renewed legitimacy<\/b> of the visual in composition studies.<\/p>\n<p>Two catalysts for this argument are W.J.T. Mitchell&#8217;s <i>Picture Theory<\/i>, in which he describes a &#8220;<b>pictorial turn<\/b>,&#8221; and the New London Group&#8217;s 1996 manifesto on <b>multiliteracies<\/b>. Following the New London Group&#8217;s emphasis on <b>design<\/b>, George argues for visuality as <b>productive practice<\/b> rather than consumptive, analytical, or critical (i.e., non-productive) practice. George is after a more sophisticated account of visuality, and she pursues this by historicizing the question (visuality?) in popular composition <b>textbooks<\/b> like McCrimmon&#8217;s <i>Writing with a Purpose<\/i> and Bartholomae and Petrosky&#8217;s inclusion of John Berger in <i>Ways of Reading<\/i>. George wants to present and also depart from a (media-anxious) tradition in composition studies throughout which &#8220;visual studies has been perceived as a <b>threat to<br \/>\nlanguage and literacy instruction<\/b>&#8221; (15).<\/p>\n<p>To conclude, George calls attention to her own <b>pedagogy<\/b> and her work with what she calls &#8220;<b>visual argument<\/b>.&#8221; Still, <b>design<\/b> is a generative (core) term in the renewal of visuality in composition studies (she locates the minimal attention to visuality in layout standards for <b>research papers<\/b>&#8211;a sort of anti-design). Also, George mentions <b>multimodal<\/b> design (18); perhaps this is the first appearance of the term in <i>CCC<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Key terms: Mitchell&#8217;s pictorial turn (13), NLG&#8217;s multiliteracies (13), producers (13), technical writing (14), visual studies as threat (15), curricular context (15), reading pictures (15), media revolution (16), new literacy (17), mass media and anxiety (17), design (18, 25), mutimodal! design (18), visual appearance and dumbing down (19), visual analysis (21), Berger in <i>Ways of Reading<\/i> (23), academic decorum (25), research paper and page design (25), desktop publishing (26), comics (27), visual argument (28), art work (28).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Or, even more to the point&#8211;our <b>students<\/b> have <b>a much richer imagination<\/b> for what we might accomplish with the visual than our <b> journals<\/b> have yet to address&#8221; (12).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In place of a resolution, then, I am after <b>a clearer understanding<\/b> of what can happen when the visual is very consciously brought into the composition classroom as a form of communication worth both <b>examining <i>and<\/i> producing<\/b>&#8221; (14).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the end, I argue that the <b>terms of debate<\/b> typical in our discussions of visual literacy and the teaching of writing <b>have limited the kinds<\/b> of assignments we might imagine for composition&#8221; (15).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Only rarely do we encounter a suggestion that students might become <b> producers<\/b> as well as <b>receivers<\/b> or victims of <b>mass media<\/b>, especially <b>visual media<\/b>&#8221; (18).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yet, without a concept like the notion of <b>design<\/b>, these older media assignments seem to be stuck in a kind of <b>literacy civil war<\/b>&#8211;one that pits <b>poetics<\/b> against the <b>popular<\/b> and <b>words<\/b> against <b>pictures<\/b>&#8221; (19).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Running through much of the composition literature of the period, assignments linked to images carried with them a call for <b>relevance<\/b>, <b>the need to make this dull, required class more interesting<\/b>, and the suggestion that <b>less verbal students<\/b> would perhaps succeed with pictures where they could not with words&#8221; (21).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Instead, the push in the eighties was to continue to explore <b>what visuals could teach students about their written compositions<\/b>&#8221; (23).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To talk of literacy instruction in terms of <b><i>design<\/i><\/b> means to ask writers to <b>draw on available knowledge<\/b> and, at the same time, <b>transform<\/b> that knowledge\/those forms as we redesign&#8221; (26).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What such a question [asked by Wysocki and Johnson-Eilola in &#8220;Blinded by the Letter&#8221;], and others like it, does lead to, however, is a <b>new configuration of verbal\/visual relationships<\/b>, one that does allow for more than <b>image analysis<\/b>, <b>image-as-prompt<\/b>, or image as <b>dumbed-down language<\/b>&#8221; (32).<\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt>Related sources:<\/dt>\n<dd>Faigley, Lester. &#8220;Material Literacy and Visual Design.&#8221; <i>Rhetorical Bodies: Toward a Material Rhetoric<\/i>.
