What's interesting is that this reading comes at a time when I needed it most. In another class, I'm working on a project that argues for the production of visual texts in order to have a complete understanding of visual rhetoric. However, the issue I've been having is with the word "production." I feel that production in the way that I mean does not align with product pedagogy, and this article has given me more food for thought as I struggle with examining the term production in that project. I do like the emphasis on the connection between texts and fragments. I think that times that I've learned the most is when I'm able to make connections (however loose at the time) between fragments of information (specifically in classes). This article specifically made me think of the idea of "remixing." And this website goes into remixing in a composition classroom. (And is a shout-out to Rowan-my alma mater).
