Term worm? Lexical maggot? Whatever. And there, for weeks now, it has wriggled, dug in.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t recall encountering &#8220;graphicacy&#8221; before Liz Losh mentioned it casually in her presentation to EMU&#8217;s First-year Writing Program during <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emich.edu\/english\/events\/lizloshworkshop.php\">her visit last month<\/a>. I wrote down several things from Liz&#8217;s talk, but graphicacy was there on top of my notes, large and starred. It stands to reason that graphicacy keeps company with literacy. Both are &#8211;<em>acy<\/em> words, which means they are adjectives converted to nouns and that they name or identify conditions. Presumably these, too, are nominalizations, but they by-pass verbs, which is the problem I&#8217;ve been thinking about. We have reading and writing to verb literacy, but what <em>verbs<\/em> graphicacy?<\/p>\n<p>I had to do a little bit of cursory sifting and searching for graphicacy, to start. It seems like the term was initiated in a mixed and sprawling range across math education (learning to plot points and interpret graphs), geography (facility with maps), and graphic design (technical-aesthetic savvy). Late last month, it surfaced in the context of a conversation about multimodal composition and the graphic rhetoric we have adopted at EMU, <em>Understanding Rhetoric<\/em>. This is the main reason it took hold for me: graphicacy seemed to gather an array of practices related both to understanding and making visuals. It sweeps into one pile an assortment of visual communications&#8211;graphs, maps, word clouds, comics, painting, photography, typography, data visualization&#8211;much in the same way visual rhetoric does. And yet, with graphicacy as with visual rhetoric, it feels like we are still missing a sufficiently encompassing verb to capture the array of practices.<\/p>\n<p>At our Advanced WAC Institute on campus late last April (or was it by then early May?), I worked with a team of colleagues on a new (for us) configuration. With colleagues from Communications and Education, we put together an institute keyed on five complementary practices: writing, reading, critical (or I would say &#8220;rhetorical&#8221;) listening, speaking, and <em>visualizing<\/em>. The fifth term, visualizing, was mine to introduce to institute attendees, and it was the most difficult to identify with a verb that was adequate to account for the frame, which amounted to concept mapping, drawing\/sketching as heuristic for arrangement, and creating occasions for students to work at the intersection of textual and overtly visual and designerly composition.<\/p>\n<p>Because we called it &#8220;visualizing,&#8221; we began the sessions needing to backtrack and contextualize. With visualizing, we weren&#8217;t talking about conjuring brainbound images or about an indwelt priming of the mind&#8217;s eye to work on problems or particular ways of seeing. These were among the associations attendees made with visualizing. And this seemed reasonable. Visualizing wasn&#8217;t quite the right verb. But what is the right verb? What is the general verb comparable to writing, reading, listening, and speaking that relates not only to seeing but to <em>creating visuals<\/em>, especially in consideration of vector illustration programs and shape-based concept mapping software that bears only faint relation to drawing?<\/p>\n<p>Graphicacy stirs this question yet again but does not quite answer it. But I hope not to call it &#8220;visualizing&#8221; ifwhen we convene the institute again next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>For the past few weeks, &#8220;graphicacy&#8221; has insinuated itself into the part of my brain where nagging curiosity comes from (the self-nagebellum), becoming the terministic equal of an ear worm: word worm.
