Welcome to (E)Compose:

a blog intended to examine the opportunities provided by new media and technology within Rhetoric and Composition, and more broadly, English Studies. I am Matt Vetter, student and teaching assistant at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. My current research is focused on an application of theories surrounding the study of aporetics to composition studies: how doubt, perplexity, and cognitive blockage hinder and inform the student writing process. I hope to further such research and that this blog may provide a space in which aporias within writing processes which occur on-screen/on-line/or apart from traditional methods and medias might be discovered and analyzed. This blog is also a requirement of English 792, Computers and Composition, taught by Dr. Rouzie and will reflect the readings and issues raises by that course.
