This collection focuses on the fact that recently, scholars have turned from ecocomposition to employ ecological methodologies in more dynamic ways than ecocomposition anticipated. Growing from Byron Hawk s move beyond "the standard inventional heuristics and social categories toward models that integrate environments into writing and invention processes" and his use of network theory, Jenny Edbauer s "rhetorical ecologies," Collin Brooke s "ecology of practice," and Dobrin "s own reactions against ecocomposition and turn to complex ecology, this book galvanizes conversations in ecology and writing, not with an eye toward homogenization, but with an agenda of firmly establishing the significance of writing research that intersects with ecology. Contributors look to establish ecological writing studies not just as a legitimate or important form of research, but as paramount to the future of writing studies and writing theory. The volume begins where Hawk, Edbauer, and Brooke have led us: to a convergence between complex ecologies, writing studies, and new-media/post-media. In this convergence, network theories, systems theories, and posthumanist theories emerge as central in the shaping of writing theory, and the volume embraces work in these areas as essential to the development of ecological theories of writing. Likewise, post-media, as articulated by F lix Guattari, Lev Manovich, and Jannell Watson appear to invigorate the connection between ecology and new media studies.
