This is the end result of the previously mentioned Kalman (with a side of Rice) project. For reference, I was asked to assemble an intersecting narrative of a particular place and deliver it in a way that somewhat resembles the exploratory works of author Maria Kalman and rhetorician Jeff Rice. To better understand the scope (and implied style characteristics) of this particular task, I read Kalman's work And the Pursuit of Happiness and explored selections from Rice's 2012 essay, "Digital Detroit: Rhetoric and Space in the Age of the Network". At its core, the project's aim was to compile commonplace representations of a location and, then, intersect that particular narrative with one of our own — a narrative that should detail a separate, lesser-known story.
For our third project, we've been asked to assemble an intersecting narrative of a particular place and deliver it in a way that somewhat resembles the works of author Maria Kalman and rhetorician Jeff Rice. At its core, the project's aim is to compile commonplace representations of a location and have students intersect that particular narrative with one of their own — one that should detail a separate, untold story.
To better understand the scope of this particular task, we read Kalman's And the Pursuit of Happiness and explored selections from Rice's 2012 essay, "Digital Detroit: Rhetoric and Space in the Age of the Network". To better organize our thoughts, we were instructed to create something that resembled a recipe; to create a list that would detail and explain a step-by-step approach for the project, which Professor Santos cleverly describes as "A Kalman (with a side of Rice)".
