In the past, Computers and Writing (C&W) theorists joined others in describing a relationship that takes various names: surveillance capitalism, algorithmic capitalism, platform capitalism. Yet, to advance beyond the break, we posit that C&W theorists must recognize data mining as an exploitation belonging instead to a feudal mode of production. Unable to exploit the labors of proletarianized producers, capitalists on the internet transitioned to </span>feudalism<span> by enclosing the digital commons; distributing the commons as universal private property; using the rent form to alienate digicultural producers; subsuming producers’ sociolinguistic behaviors under the feudal mode; appropriating surplus labors of the class of unwaged labor; and placing heterogeneous, differentiated agents on the internet into two economic classes: peasants and lords. In this condition, the peasant class of digicultural producers cannot distance themselves through regulation, volunteerism, cloaking, and shielding. Their subsumed sociolinguistic activities cannot relieve exploitation because the two-sided act of languaging becomes three-sided with the addition of computer programs and AI acting as agents of digital lords.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":35773,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Composition","volume":"69 ","pages":"Article 102795"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50197948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Part of such scaffolding should include the exploration of relevant frameworks for conceptualizing ChatGPT, including the use of multiple metaphors, like <em>tool</em> and <em>collaborator.</em> By analyzing recent scholarly and news discourse regarding ChatGPT, prompts and outputs from ChatGPT, and the author's own writing process, the essay illustrates the limitations of the <em>tool</em> and <em>collaborator</em> metaphors, while emphasizing the value of multiple metaphors. In particular, the <em>tool</em> metaphor fails to account for ChatGPT's human components – namely its repurposing of thousands of authors’ writing and ideas, from which it draws with no transparency on sources. While the <em>collaborator</em> metaphor appears to address the need to cite ideas that are not one's own, ChatGPT fails to provide the accountability of a human author, even as it includes biased output derived from its training corpus, and while again failing to identify original sources. Medical and surgical metaphors highlight the ways that ChatGPT acts upon both the enormous corpus, or body of human writing, on which it was trained and our social body in our academic communities and beyond.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":35773,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Composition","volume":"68 ","pages":"Article 102778"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50181995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the programs that instructors use to create feedback have different affordances, meaning that even within a single mode, the feedback students receive on their writing can vary significantly. To better understand the variation that exists within a single mode, this study investigates how affordances of Canvas Speedgrader, Google Docs, and Turnitin GradeMark impacted electronic text feedback.Based on analysis of 131 feedback files created using the 3 programs, in conjunction with 5 student surveys, and 2 instructor interviews, the study provides insights into how instructor written commentary (location, form, type, focus, and mitigation) varied by program and how participants perceived of feedback provided through the 3 programs.

During a time when it seemed nothing could manifest itself without being constituted in opposition to a political “other,” memes responding to the counting of ballots in swing states, particularly Nevada, flooded social media. In this article, I use a collection of Nevada election memes to show the power of harnessing humor and community values across national and local audiences. Because memes rely on community norms, their ability to build rhetorical bridges lies in fostering shared commitment and redistributing power dynamics away from institutions and towards the public. Using visual typology and rhetorical topological coding, I will discuss how Nevada election memes showcase strategies of solidarity (linked to <em>common topoi</em> and <em>endoxa),</em> helping audiences cope through a difficult time in our national history and offering an example of how political discourse can be configured around and above political binaries. In our communities, classrooms, and digital spaces, applying this technique reframes political discourse that traditionally capitalizes on division by instead focusing on building discourse grounded in commonality and community.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":35773,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Composition","volume":"68 ","pages":"Article 102779"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50181994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research indicates that STT shows promise as an alternative mode of composition, supporting students in making fewer errors, writing more, and writing better. Much of this research takes place in elementary and middle schools, often focusing on students with identified learning disabilities. The current study extends STT research into general education high school classrooms, where students (</span><em>N</em><span> = 120) were invited to use it as much or as little as they wanted during one school year. We asked: Who used STT? Did subgroups, such as students labeled with learning disabilities, differ in their choices? When students chose to use STT, what kinds of writing did they do? Did STT compositions differ from non-STT compositions? Finally, what were students’ and teachers’ perceptions of STT? We analyzed field notes, interviews, surveys, and student writing with and without STT, and found mixed results: On average, students wrote more when they used STT than not. A little more than half of students found that STT eased the cognitive load of composition. A little less than half of students found that the tool constrained their composition. Some were put off by technical problems or embarrassment attendant with speaking out loud in class. Students’ choices to use STT correlated with special education designation, but not other designations. Despite students’ mixed reports, teachers were consistently positive about STT and planned to use it in future classes.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":35773,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Composition","volume":"68 ","pages":"Article 102775"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50181993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
