    What's Civic About Technical Communication? Technical Communication and the Rhetoric of "Community" ↗
    Cezar M. Ornatowski; Linn K. Bekins
    Abstract

    Although the concept of community has been advanced in technical communication as a moral reference point for civic rhetorical action, this concept is typically used in romantic, redemptive, and essentializing ways. This article argues for a radical and symbolic/rhetorical view of community, regarding it a discursive construct purposefully invoked by technical writers for strategic reasons.
