Informed by rhetorical genre theory, activity
theory, and the notion of Communities of Practice, this study explores a pedagogical genre at play in university mathematics lecture classrooms. The genre is
mediational in that it is a tool employed in the activity of teaching. The data
consist of audio/video-recorded lectures, observational notes, semistructured
interviews, and written artifacts collected from 50 participants who
differed in linguistic, cultural, and educational backgrounds; teaching experience;
and languages of instruction. The study suggests that chalk talk, namely,
writing out a mathematical narrative on the board while talking aloud, is
the central pedagogical genre of the undergraduate mathematics lecture
classroom. Pervasive pedagogical genres, like chalk talk, which develop within
global disciplinary communities of practice, appear to override local differences
across contexts of instruction. Better understanding these genres may
lead to new insights regarding academic literacies and teaching.

From Plato’s early indictments of writing as enemy of memoria to Burke’s recognition of instrumental causes to recent analyses of digital mediation (Haas 1996; Spinuzzi 2008; Swarts 2008; Ittersum and Ching 2013), the study of meaning-making refuses one-to-one, transparent theories of communication, instead recognizing that there’s more to rhetorical action than humans. This article follows the trail of Haas, Swarts and others, arguing that analyses of mediation uncover much about human motives, digital communities and rhetorical action. I argue that technologies often function as rhetorical genres, providing what Miller characterizes as “typified rhetorical actions based in recurrent situations” that occur in uniquely digital spaces (159). Working from sites of participatory archival creation and curation[1], I argue that invisible rhetorical genres operating at macroscopic levels of scale are central to shaping individual and communal activity in sites of distributed social production. To support this claim, I investigate two applications – a content management system (CMS) called Gazelle and a bittorrent tracker called Ocelot – to demonstrate how largely invisible server-side software shapes rhetorical action, circumscribes individual agency and cultivates community identity in sites of participatory archival curation. By articulating CMSs and other macroscopic software as rhetorical genres, I hope to extend nascent investigations into the medial capacities of digital tools that shape our collective digital experience.</p>
