Technoculture is proud to be a part of this joint publication with Enculturation in which a scholarly piece and a creative work are both simultaneously published and interact with one another over the boundaries of two separate journals.

Abstract

Queered in Technoculture along with a companion scholarly text, “Queer Rhetoric and the Pleasures of the Archive” at Enculturation. The video distills our interrogation of logos, ethos, and pathos; the scholarly piece builds and expands that critique. We believe that this partnership—between authors, between genres, between journals—queers knowledge production, challenging those borders sanctioned and policed by the academy, and we hope that more of such collaboration happens in the future.
