A good powerpoint
is like haiku: a few words
and the mind is changed
Phil Hey, Briar Cliff university
visual, oral
written, powerpoint can be
a way to oneness

"The first line of consultation I'd recommend is Lee Brasseur's excellent discussion VISUALIZING TECHNICAL INFORMATION (Baywood, 2003) and the "critical sourcebook" edited by Carolyn Handa, VISUAL RHETORIC IN A DIGITAL WORLD (SIU, 2004). And for the most important work in theorizing use of visual techniques and technologies, check out Lynch & Woolgar's REPRESENTATION IN SCIENTIFIC PRACTICE (MIT, 1990)."

Jeg sidder med mit paper til Association of Teachers of Technical Writing-konferencen i næste uge og tænkte, nu eller aldrig, jeg starter med Power Point i stedet for at slutte med at klippe-kliste et Word-dokument ind. Det går sådan bum-bum, men så kom jeg i tanke om at de kloge hoveder på ATTW-listen havde en diskussion om Power Point for nylig.
Det er altså mit publikum. Oneness. A few words, and the mind is changed. Visual Rhetoric in a Digital World. Jeg håber at de vil være søde ved mig. Hvorfor har jeg altid tænkt at Power Point var kedeligt?

Ahem. Lidt truffet føler man sig vel. Og måske har jeg fejlrepræsenteret mine amerikanske kolleger. Der var faktisk en vældig kritisk diskussion af ppt som redskab der - ikke overraskende - endte med konklusionen 'det kommer an på'. Formål, genre og alt det. Retorikere vil vide hvilket retorisk grundbegreb jeg her nægter at referere til for 149. gang. Det positive for mig var faktisk at høre at de store kanoner også havde godt at sige om ppt. I visse faglige sammenhænge, blandt andet naturvidenskabelige, er ppt ikke et spørgsmål om form, men, såvidt jeg har forstået, i høj grad også vidensproducerende: "In the pharmaceutical work settings where I have spent so much time, ppt is also ubiquitous, for both internal and external meetings. It's the common shared workspace, the mindspace, for teams doing scientific development work. It allows groups to see what they think, and it is common for workshop sessions to center on ppt slide with data representations, complex flow charts, diagrams of biological processes, plans for complex project management, or designs for experiments. Teams report progress on their work to management, and companies report on their work to health authorities, and everything is done in written reports, but the interaction, the face to face activities, are conducted via ppt slideshows. The data representations (tables, graphs) are heavily workshopped as powerpoint slides coming out of SAS datafiles or Excel sheets. People in a room can focus on a complex data visualization and discuss what they see and what it means. Teams try alternate explanations of the data, exploratory representations, to give them ideas about interpretive positions and passing theories." Professor Stephen A. Bernhardt, University of Delaware.
