Welcome back to my blog post #9! In this blog, I will read four texts and answer the question, "How do these texts speak to the spirit of our discourse community?" I provided the links below, so if you are interested in, please check them. Also, I chose a found poem as a genre for my interpretation.
We Are Many Of the many men whom I am, whom we are, I cannot settle on a single one. What must I do to distinguish myself? How can I put myself together? I never know just WHO I AM, nor how many I am, nor WHO WE WILL BE BEING. If I really need my proper self, I must not allow myself to disappear. While I am writing, I am far away; and when I come back, I have already left. I should like to see if the same thing happens to other people as it does to me, to see if as many people are as I am, and if they seem the same way to themselves. What is Literacy? Think of a Discourse as an of 'identity kit' which comes complete with an appropriate costume and instructions on how to act, talk, and often write, so as to take on a particular role that others will recognize. Discourses are inherently "ideological". Any discourses concerns itself with certain objects and puts forward certain concepts, viewpoints, and vales at the expense of others. Discourses are intimately related to the distribution of social power and hierarchical structure in society. It is sometimes helpful to say that individuals do not speak and act, but that historically and socially defined discourses speak to each other through individuals. The individual is simply the meeting point of many. To You, I Belong Historical memory makes us aware that the past is with us in the present, that previous unresolved, complicated, and multilayered events are replaying themselves in various forms in the present. This memory can be imprinted on the body. It can be imprinted on trees, stones, in taste, scent, and sound. While it can be handed down directly from one generation to the next, it can also skip generations. It can be transmitted in dreams, rituals, and visions. Historical memory is not an abstract concept. It lives in our unconscious, in the body. It is often preverbal - knowledge that cannot be adequately described using the master's tongue, the master's language. Our Discourse Community Values
Conceptualize discourse communities as social networks that frame the ethics, expectations, and exigencies of stakeholders who use situated languages to bond with others and to make meaning. Cultivate joy in writing and learning. Connect past, present, and future writing histories and knowledges. Clarify meaning for oneself. Compose in multiple genres, modes, and media to meet the moments of 21st century rhetorical situations. Create reiterative writing processes to generate and revise ideas. Construct a writer’s identity to interact with the authorial choices of others and of self.

I enjoyed reading this post. I appreciate the visual and spatial choices made here: bulleted list with relevant links, bold font, line dividers, centered text for the poetry, and clear negative space between the printed words.

I really liked how you centered the text for your poetry. I think it makes your text more elegant.

I really like the visual choices that you chose! It really looks nice on the screen. Not just that, the poems you wrote are really good and I can see some similar words and phrases that I pointed out in my poems as well! Nice job Yuki.

As many have already said, I enjoy how you laid out your poems and put them into text. It's clear, concise and easy to read and very straightforward. I thought that it was very well done and you pulled great information from the texts.

Not only are your found poems really good, you created a nice format for them as well. It made them not only appealing to read but also appealing to look at.
