LUDIC RHETORIC: HOW GAMES ENHANCE RHETORIC AND WRITING PEDAGOGY uses a qualitative study examining the game-based pedagogy of twenty-two rhetoric and writing teachers to show how games invent rhetorical theory, writing, design, and pedagogy through the multimodal, performative interplay of materiality and discourse. Rebekah Shultz Colby draws from Gregory Ulmer's heuretics, Judith Butler's theory of the constitutive outside, Karen Barad's theory of intra-active performativity and an Indigenous philosophy of environmental inter-relatedness, and Julia Kristeva's semiotic rupture to examine how the process of gameplay and game design constructs a way into the chora by creating a performative, multimodal semiotic rupture that reinvents argument, social discursive theories, and writing pedagogy for social justice.
