The multimodal humanist brings together databases, scholarly tools, networked writing, and peer-to-peer commentary while also leveraging the potential of visual and aural (and interactive) media that so dominate contemporary life She aims to produce work that reconfigures the relationships among author, reader, and 4/28/12 1212 technology while investigating the

hands-on engagement with digital forms reorients the scholarly imagination, not because the tools are cool or new (even if they are) or because the audience for our work might be expanded (even if it is), but because scholars come to realize that they understand their arguments and their objects of study differently, even better, when they approach them through multiple modalities and emergent and interconnected forms of literacy.

Your intro text offers a really nice crystallization of your larger goals. It attempts to tell us what your map show and it articulately identifies the conceptual concerns that are at the core of your project, i.e., that radio takes places. There are some really intriguing issues you raise in this intro text that, obviously because of time and technical limitations, you werent able to fully develop (e.g., imagined maps). But if what you said in your last Process Blog is true that you want to continue your work on URT Id love to see some of these other dimensions of your project fleshed out! Your map does a great job of presenting the historical part of your argument. As I said in class yesterday, I think your tagging system is BRILLIANT. I regret that we werent able to develop URT to a point where it could support a timeline of some sort but you devised a fantastic work-around: date tags! This was a really creative, and effective, work4/28/12 around.
