ABSTRACT

This paper introduces a novel theory of organic formation of writing proposing a newly coined term chaosmosing. We suggest a new cognitive model of writing reflecting the chain of chaosmosing in writing process. Our chaosmosing theory of writing rests on the following 3 key points that this paper developed: 1. The process of writing begins with chaos and makes a steady progress toward cosmos. The interim process between chaos and cosmos can be described as chaosmosing which is a consistent operation of chaosmos being formed into a cosmos(universe) through transformation and generation. 2. Our cognitve model of writing process proposes a new element 'Goal Image' in order to capture the moment of the chaosmosing process. 'Goal Image' is not a goal but the image of a written product that will be completed. It has a property of being pliant (or plastic - 'soft' is not an appropriate term as is not stereoscopic enough) far from being hard. Texts are produced by writers' Goal Images. Produced texts give feedbacks to the Goal Image. These processes are continuously repeated. Writing is a process of organic formation with interaction such as communication and inter-tuning between Goal Image and text. 3. Therefore, writing is both a cognition and a practice of a writer. A writer's cognition changes and evolves through writing and writing itself is a practice of the cognition which has changed and evolved. In other words, writing is a process of constructing and producing knowledge through a confronting of a self and the world. The establishment of 'Goal Image', which has a property of being pliant rather being fixed and solid, explains the flexibility of a cognitive process and the dynamic nature of writing, the product of the very cognitive process overcoming the fixedness of the previous models and filling the empty space. Specifically, it can answer the questions such as What is the criterion of monitoring? How does writing get changed through monitoring? that were unsolved even with the Flower & Hayes model and later models. It can also deal with the question What kinds of elements mediate the individual steps of a writing and a cognitive process? We show how writing affects a thought and a cognitive process by introducing a new concept chaosmosing. In summary, we believe that our 'organic writing model' is an advance model which models the dynamicity and the flexibility of the evolving process of inter-tuning of cognitive process and writing.
