What does place and scene have to do with everyday writing? What role does
place/scene play in the circulation of ideas?
Place and scene plays a vital role in everyday writing. The medium of which the text is being written gives it a sort of purpose. The place and scene sets the rhetoric in which certain situations call for certain reactions from the audience. In the example of the venting wall during the 9/11 tragedy, the wall was placed their for a purpose. It was placed on the side of the street to get opinions from a diverse audience, as both the homeless and wealthy use the street alike. The size of the wooden panels also says that the creators wanted multiple opinions and wanted to attract lots of attention. If the 9/11 tragedy did not happen at the time of the venting wall, then the large ZEPPELIN ROCKS!! graffiti wouldn't have attracted a response from the audience. The old woman responded with "This makes me so mad, I could spit". However, the author responded with a double take and a laugh. The place and scene of the venting wall gave a medium to a certain rhetorical situation. Because of the rhetoric many of the writings were targeted towards the same idea and carried the same amount of emotions. Writing is populated by bodies, and each rhetoric is meant to elect an emotion from its audience. The emotion elected depends on the place and scene, which is why it is so important to everyday writing.
Place and scene plays a role in the circulation of ideas in that it controls the audience and rhetoric that the initial thought will begin. For example, if one were to place an ad for a tobacco company in a hospital clinic it wouldn't elect a reaction to converse amongst the audience. Everyday writing is supposed to be a form of conversation in that after reading the audience is meant "to do" something in response to the writing.
