Three Sympoietic Rhetorical Properties...
"we're still without definitions, critique, and articulation of the range of collaborative engagement that one might wish for"
--Kathleen Blake Yancey and Michael Spooner, “A Single Good Mind”
Whereas Bitzer (1968) stipulates three components of his rhetorical situation--exigence, audience, and constraints--and the CCC's poster page (Yancey, 2010, p. 611) expands that to seven (composer, subject, audience, text, genre, media, and context)--a Yancey-inspired sympoietic rhetorical situation offers three interweaving and interpellating properties-processes: agentive co-constitution, encompassing alternative rhetorical subjectivities; porous materiality, celebrating alternative textur-alities, and rhetorical accountability, inscribing ethics before, within, and after every rhetorical performance.
