Abstract

In this webtext, I approach the comp course as an assemblage of technologies that inhibits moving beyond White Mainstream English (WME). The assemblage of state-assigned learning outcomes, the data on language from the American Community Survey (ACS), and the comp course reinscribe WME. However, this assemblage of technologies works against itself when reassembled appropriately. Through digital mapping (Leaflet.js), I reassemble these technologies to "break" learning outcomes and imagine more generative relationships between language, land, and comp instruction. In so doing, I advance digital mapping as a technological and analytical approach to remap language relationships in rhet–comp.
