Cycle of Technical Documentation

My research enabled me to develop a framework for understanding the Cycle of Technical Documentation in large regulatory industries. 

Chapter 2 describes the cycle of technical documentation within large regulatory agencies. This framework allows us to identify Six Critical Moments of Rhetorical Transformation when knowledge in one modality (oral...

The Cycle of Technical Documentation depicted in this chapter allows us to identify predictable moments when individuals have the opportunity tc> create new knowledge within large regulatory agencies when investigators capture miners narratives to determine the cause of the accident when ana-... 

The men and women who provide this training also stand at the rhetorical interface between agencies and local experience within the Cycle of Technical Documentation in Large Regulatory Industries, but trainers differ from investigators because they must reconstruct the local experience and observations that have been extracted and transformed in the process of creating standards. 

The Cycle of Technical Documentation in Large Regulatory Industries described in this chapter provides both a descriptive and inventional framework for investigating how this uncertain and dynamic material knowledge is cap-... 

Within the Cycle of Technical Documentation within Large Regulatory Industries, the processes of rhetorical transformation that shape the construction of instructions and procedures are designed to strip away the site-specific... 

If embodied information is not present in written communication, we might ask, where is it to be located In the following chapters, we show how miners deploy both speech and gesture to construct representations of risk that integrate theory and practice. These interviews allow us to examine the rhetorical transformations that occur outside of written communication at critical moments within the Cycle of Technical Documentation within Large Regulatory Industries. 

Within the Cycle of Technical Documentation in Large Regulatory Industries, rhetorical choices can be strategic or habitual. As we have shown in previous chapters, interviewers can prompt miners to assume new viewpoints. Agencies can use these techniques to create the rhetorical conditions that evoke elaboration, demonstration, and redefinition. They can use gesture to explore, query, and co-construct a more adequate representation of risk. 

No single volume can answer all of these questions, but I hope I have answered some questions and mapped a new territory for future work investigating documentation practices throughout the Cycle of Technical Documentation in Large Regulatory Industries.
