Public spaces are increasingly privatized, and individual subjectivities have been reconstructed according to market terms. Part critique and part road map, \u003ci\u003eSocial Mediations\u003c\/i\u003e begins with a critical reading of digital public pedagogies, then turns to developing a new theory that can guide a more effective writing pedagogy. LeCourt offers a theory based in embodied relationality that uses information economies to develop public spheres. She highlights how information commodities generate value through circulation, orchestrate relationships among people, and support unequal power structures. By demonstrating how we can use information capital for social change rather than market expansion, writers and readers are encouraged to seek out encounters with cultural and political impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDonna LeCourt \u003c\/b\u003eis professor and chair of the English Department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst where she teaches courses in rhetoric and composition, digital writing, teaching writing, and issues of difference in writing studies.
