Session Information
Description: Thinking of transactions as more than interactions of separate entities, panelists consider the ways reading and writing are (and are not) mutually constitutive transactions of human beings, texts, and contexts, all transformed by their encounters, just as entities in an ecosystem shape and are shaped by one another.
For linked sessions, see meetings 380 and 440.
