Using land-based literacy to understand how experiences are shaped by material and embodied interaction. Such evidence of land-based rhetorical work can be seen in the digital Samaritan project by Jim Ridolfo. The scholar works with and for the Samaritan community to increase access to their cultural patrimony through digitization. This digital work by Rudolfo was characterized by materiality and embodied interaction in digitizing the manuscript of the Samaritan community. What sticks out to me in Arola’s land-based rhetoric is that active participation with the land acknowledges people’s experiences in communicating their cultural practices. (93) [GKK-16]
