      <title>Against Publication: Rethinking the Reward System Within the New Corporate University</title>
      <link>http://lectures.eserver.org/1052</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Frank Donoghue’s _The Last Professors_ examines how the growing corporate culture of higher education threatens its most fundamental values by erasing one of its defining features: the tenured professor. In particular, he observes this trend through the lens of tenured professors in the arts and humanities, the value of whose work does not always lend itself to modes of cost benefit analysis.</p>

<p>In the 2009 Goldtrap Lecture at Iowa State University, Professor Donoghue extends his analysis of trends within academe by asking questions about the reward structure surrounding publication, especially as it relates to tenure and promotion. “We're all producing scholarly publication because we're obliged to, but no one is obliged to read what we publish,” he argues.  He notes that “only two percent of all published monographs and articles in the arts and humanities is ever cited.”  In “Against Publication,” Professor Donoghue suggests that the time has come for a fundamental change to the present reward system within academe.</p>]]></description>

      <title>TOPIC/ICON: A System for Distributed Assessment to Improve Student Writing Education</title>
      <link>http://lectures.eserver.org/1047</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>At Texas Tech University, graduate students teaching freshman composition are divided into two groups: "classroom instructors," who meet students once a week to go over grammar, style, and argumentation, and to discuss weekly assignments; and "document instructors," who grade the assignments anonymously using a computer system. The new approach has cut class time in half and increased the amount of writing students do -- to about 35 essays, peer-evaluations, and self-critiques each semester. It also allows faculty members to monitor the graders closely, determining whether some are giving higher-than-average marks and reviewing their commentary.</p><p>Rich Rice discusses the current development of this project and some of the findings it has facilitated at Texas Tech University.</p>]]></description>

      <title>The Da Vinci Code: Fact, Fiction or Fake?</title>
      <link>http://lectures.eserver.org/1039</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction, but the first page announces several "facts." Among these are that a group known as the Priory of Sion, central to the plot of the novel, "is a real organization," and that "in 1975 Paris's Bibliotheque Nationale discovered parchments known as Les Dossier Secrets, identifying numerous members of the Priory of Sion, including...Leonardo da Vinci." While the Priory was a real order (briefly) in the Middle Ages, the Dossier secrets was revealed to be a forgery shortly after it was "discovered"--in other words, it was fake. This panel discussion explores issues of accuracy and responsibility that arise when an author of fiction appropriates so many elements of European history and culture and claims to be presenting readers with facts.]]></description>

The paper argues that despite Mamet's claims that all he knows about film he learned from Eisenstein, in matter of fact there appears little connection between Mamet's and Eisenstein's cinematic theories. In a 1999 interview, in fact, Mamet revealed that he had actually read fairly extensively from film theory. This paper suggests that that Mamet's films are particularly influenced by the work of V.I.

      <itunes:summary>In contemporary business texts corporate sponsored on-line communities are described as central to the commercial development of the Internet, and to the imagined future of narrowcasting and mass customization in the wider world of marketing and advertising. My paper outlines a history of how on-line community has been represented within models of Ecommerce. It critically examines the arguments, narratives and rhetorical strategies drawn on within contemporary business texts to represent on-line community. The paper also examines some of the connections that are emerging between commercial on-line community development, and commercial models of on-line education. My paper explores how many of the same organizations, strategies, and ways of representing on-line communities and community resources associated with corporate sponsored on-line communities are being reproduced in models of on-line education. I argue that strategic alliances ought to be made between academics and various community groups, in order to keep both communities resources in the public domain. I also argue that teachers need something like an Open Source movement for on-line academic resources, and that taking a leaf out of the book of groups like the Free Software Foundation, we ought to create something like a Free Courseware Foundation, which gives teachers greater control of their resources and better enables them to share materials with colleagues and with the public.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>The current proliferation of hermeneutic resources with a linguistic base--pragmatics, speech act theory, classical rhetoric theory, Burkean analysis, conversational analysis, Habermasian communicative action--is an embarras de richesse. Surely, at this point, we need, not another theory, but rather an attempt at synthesis, an attempt to turn this hermeneutic plentitude into a single theory. In this paper, we propose to take an initial step in this direction, to attempt to marry pragmatics and rhetoric. But given the theoretical exfoliation that has marked these areas, such a marriage can be managed only by imposing very strict limitations on the scope of our enterprise. We believe, however, that we can take a step in our preferred direction by addressing the more specific problem of whether the theory of Paul Grice, the father of pragmatics, is compatible with the theory of Aristotle, the father of rhetoric. We intend to do so by reconstructing Aristotelian rhetoric as a pragmatics.</itunes:summary>
