- A CFP for a new journal, Space and Culture, was posted to Rhetnt-L
early in October and the discussion it sparked lasted the rest of the month.
Some folks found the language in the announcement vague to the point of
inscrutability. Others either found it understandable or defended its
obscurity. The editor of Space and Culture, Ian Roderick, joined the
discussion soon after it began to defend and explain the language choices he
and his colleagues had made. This conversation is a particular case of what's a
common-enough debate about the rhetorical and political effects of specialized
language.

This conversation began on Rhetnt-L with a cross-post from another list describing the regents-initiated tenure revisions that were in process at the University of Minnesota at the time. The ensuing discussion veered into questions about whether the troub
les with tenure were heralding troubles with the institution as a whole and what those troubles might portend for education. One answer, problematic to be sure, was institutional evactuation: educators leaving the nest to create new educational environmen
ts in the new worlds created by digital technologies. The Interversity list and web site were born as a result.
