A Choreography of Living Texts: Selections from the ARST Oral History Project

Kenny Walker University of Arizona ; Jennifer Malkowski University of Colorado System ; Damien Smith Pfister University of Nebraska–Lincoln

Abstract

Oral history projects about rhetorical studies contribute to transdisciplinary histories by creating living texts that reflect the dynamism of scholarly cultures. Through interviews conducted at the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Association for the Rhetoric of Science and Technology (ARST), we chart the organizational and intellectual history of a field, its contributions to science studies, and its potential future directions. These digitized, archived oral histories serve as an articulation point for transdisciplinary reflection, but they also represent an important strand of digital humanities work that creates living texts and keeps them open for future articulations.
