Guest Editor's Introduction: Technical Communication in the Age of Distributed Work

Clay Spinuzzi The University of Texas at Austin

Abstract

In this introduction, I review the topic of the special issue, distributed work: coordinative, polycontextual, cross-disciplinary work that splices together divergent work activities (separated by time, space, organizations, and objectives) and that enables the transformations of information and texts that characterize such work. After reviewing the literature on distributed work, I introduce the articles in this special issue.
