	The Valve - A Literary Organ \| Thinking About Theory’s Empire
		Theory often raised important questions, some of which we are debating here today, but in its professionalized form it too readily fell into what Swift nicely called “the mechanical operation of the spirit.” Perhaps prematurely, Theory’s Empire writes a bittersweet obituary for the theory years but not one that’s ungenerous or undeserved.
		Theory’s alleged alternative to sensibility (while it partook of the sins of methodologism John E hammers) really turned out to be another form of sensibility.
		It’s a theory of criticism or perhaps it’s theory that fails to distinguish between literature and criticism and declares that failure to be a major virtue.

		This alternative critical theory might replace the default assumptions in technical communication that images and words have distinct roles; that technical images have less power than words in both rhetorical efficacy and knowledge-making; and that technical and scientific images merely convey neutral information in a non-ideological manner to an audience.
		Autopoietic theory and its association with knowledge management, information management, and self-forming organizations informs the dissertation as it assesses the management contribution of the technical communicator who served as the central information hub of the project.
		The contribution of technical communication skills and rhetorical training led to the technical communicator being vital to the evolution of the university based organization to a start up company with the technical communicator slated to be the chief operations officer.
