My latest bit of shameless self-promotion: the new issue of Harlot includes a web article penned by yours truly, along with co-author Matt Howard. It’s a series of quick rhetorical observations about GoonSwarm, a loose collective of players in the game EVE Online. Give it a gander, won’t ye?

McCorkle, Ben and Matt Howard. “A Rhetoric of Bees: A Case Study of Emergent Community Building Practices within an MMO Rule Set.” Harlot: A Revealing Look at the Arts of Persuasion. 7 (2012). Web. 15 April 2012.

Just a quick post to let you know that another great CCCC’s now  in the history book. Highlights for me include:

• a highly useful digital pedagogy poster session (thanks to Dickie Selfe, with assists from Doug Eyman and Eileen Maley)
• I saw a few interesting panel presentations (apparently Bruno Latour’s stock is still on the rise in rhet/comp)
• neat-o interactive digital installation
• I got interviewed by someone reviewing my book
• St. Louis is a pretty cool city: good Vietnamese food, beautiful botanical garden, plus the insanity of the City Museum.
