“As we have suggested throughout this volume, the tectonic/paradigmatic shifts we have been describing point to a new era in rhetorical studies, one that is much more fluid, shifting, and expansive than before. This re-formed view encourages the use of patterns of observing, reading, analyzing, and interpreting that are dialogical, dialectical, reflective, and reflexive and that generate thereby multiple sources of information that have to be balanced in knowledge creation and knowledge use” (139).

“Queerness has the potential to stretch our sense of not only what can be composed, but how it can be composed. If queerness means more than just one more static representation of “diversity,” containable in its knowability, then it must move in multiple directions at once, embracing multi-modality, multi-genre texts, and even, when available or perhaps necessary, multi-media” (183).
