Hello everyone and welcome to my blog, as we begin the second half of the semester, I am excited and ready to work hard. For my blog post today, I am going found poem (s) Our Discourse Community Values, What is Literacy? (James Paul Gee) and We Are Many (Pablo Neruda) . We were give options to complete this blog post and I consider found poem as my genre to show how the three texts speak to the identity of our discourse community.
Our Discourse Community Values inform your participation in our community, contribute suggestions to revise or add to these values, enact your own meaning-making processes, Conceptualize discourse communities social networks frame ethics, expectations, and exigencies stakeholders use situated languages to bond others and make meaning, Cultivate joy writing learning Connect past, present, future writing histories knowledges Clarify meaning oneself, Communicate ideas specific audiences Compose multiple genres, modes, and media meet moments of 21st century rhetorical situations Create reiterative writing processes generate and revise ideas Construct writer’s identity interact with the authorial choices others and of self, Each enacted values evoke "writing-as-travel" experiences manifest author-self interactions material immaterial writing activities. Curious learn discourse communities, writing-as-travel, and author-self interactions shape learning in course? Curiosity good place to start. We Are Many (Pablo Neruda) many men I am, we are, I cannot settle single one, me under cover clothing, departed another city. everything seems set, to show me off as a man of intelligence, keep concealed person takes over and occupies my mouth, other occasions, am dozing midst of people some distinction, and when I summon my courageous self, coward completely unknown me, swaddles poor skeleton thousand tiny reservations, stately home bursts into flames, instead fireman summon, arsonist bursts on the scene, he is I. is nothing I can do. must distinguish myself? I put myself together? All books I read, lionize dazzling hero figures, brimming self-assurance, die with envy of them; films bullets fly on wind, I am left in envy of the cowboys, admiring even the horses. I call upon my DASHING BEING, out comes same OLD LAZY SELF, I never know just WHO I AM, nor WHO WE WILL BE BEING, I would like to be able to touch a bell, my real self, truly me, I need my proper self, I must not allow myself to disappear, While I am writing, I am far away; when I come back, I have already left, I should like to see if the same thing happens, other people as it does to me, see if as many people are as I am, if they seem the same way to themselves, this problem has been thoroughly explored, I going to school myself so well in things, when I try to explain my problems, I shall speak, not of self, but of geography. What is Literacy? (James Paul Gee) Piece of folk wisdom part what linguists define words technical meaning to old term "discourse" A socially accepted association among ways of using language, of thinking, and of acting that can be used to identify oneself as a member of a socially meaningful group or "social network" "Identity kit" costume and instructions to act and talk to take a particular role other recognize, "trained" learned to speak, think and act like linguist and recognize others when they do, large discourse of linguistics contains sub- discourses, different socially accepted ways of being a linguist, But master discourse is not just sum of it parts, it's something over and above them, every act of speaking, writing and behaving linguist does as a linguist is meaningful against background of social institution of linguistic, made of concrete things like people, books, and buildings; abstract things like universities, journals and publishers; a shared history and story. Being an American, being man or woman. 1. Discourses are inherently "Ideological" crucially involve a set of values and viewpoints while being in the discourse otherwise one doesn't count as being in it. 2. Discourses are resistant to internal criticism and self-scrutiny. 3. Discourses defined positions from which to speak and behave are not, however, just defined by internal to a discourse, but also a standpoints taken up by the discourse in its relation to other, ultimately opposing discourses. 4. Any discourse concerns itself with certain objects and put forward certain concepts, viewpoints and values at the expense of other. 5. Discourses are intimately related to the distribution of social power and hierarchical structure in society. Acquisition of social goods (Money, Power, status) social goods in a society "dominant discourse" Acquisition is a process of acquiring something subconsciously by exposure to models and a process of trial and error, without a process of formal teaching, Learning is a process that involved conscious knowledge gained through teaching meta-knowledge There is an up side and a down side to both that can be expressed as follows "we are better at what we acquire, but we consciously know more about what we learned " acquisition is good for performing, learning is good for meta-level knowledge, oral mode birthright primary socialization within the family culture function like extended families, secondary discourses institutions (workplace, schools businesses, churches) . Literacy is control of secondary uses of language, Dominant literacy is a control of secondary use language used in what called a dominant discourse.

I echo Tiffany‘s comments above. Thank you for sharing this post. I appreciate your genre choice of a found poem to interact with the three texts. What did your reflection gain from the use of found poetry? How do your visual and spatial choices impact our ability to make meeting from this text?
