Abstract:

To the extent that rhetoric and writing studies bases its theories and pedagogies on the self-present composing subject: the figure of the writer who exists apart from the writing context, from the “world,” from others: it is anti-communitarian. Communication can take place only among beings who are given over to the “outside,” exposed, open to the other’s effraction. This essay therefore calls for the elaboration of a “communitarian” literacy that understands reading and writing as functions of this originary sociality, as expositions not of who one is (identity) but of the fact that “we” are (community).

Abstract:

The Conduit Metaphor has been roundly condemned by language scholars, including scholars in rhetoric and composition, but it is time to reevaluate its import and value. Rather than simply asserting a mistaken view of linguistic communication, the Conduit Metaphor combines with the metaphor Language Is Power to form a prudentially applied ethical measure of discourses, genres, and texts.

Abstract:

In early Methodism John Wesley created an extracurricular site of literacy and rhetoric that empowered women and the working classes to read, write, and speak in public. Wesley’s “method” of literacy in community not only transformed religious life in Britain but also redefined the intersections of education, class, and gender.

Beason, Larry. “Ethos and Error: How Business People React to Errors.” CCC. 53.1 (2001): 33-64.

Abstract:

Errors seem to bother nonacademic readers as well as teachers. But what does it mean to be “bothered” by errors? Questions such as this help transform the study of error from mere textual issues to larger rhetorical matters of constructing meaning. Although this study of fourteen business people indicates a range of reactions to errors, the findings also reveal patterns of qualitative agreement: certain ways in which these readers constructed a negative ethos of the writer.

Abstract:

I argue that our responses to the Oakland ebonics resolution miss what made the resolution so significant while also making debate about it so intractable. I propose that compositionists who acknowledge attitudes that made the resolution so significant can productively engage the larger public regarding literacy education in a racially divided democracy.

Abstract:

This chair’s address to the 52nd Annual Convention of the Conference on College Composition and Communication, March 2001, draws on the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins to explore and celebrate a life in composition. Acknowledging institutional fatigue, I outline possibilities for individual renewal, particularly through the process of mentoring new members. Ending with a convention poem, I invite readers to compose their own.

Abstract:

While our field’s response practices have changed dramatically over the past two decades to involve more student comments on their own texts, empirical studies have lagged far behind classroom practices, focusing almost exclusively on teachers’ written comments as texts. By broadening our notion of response: and acknowledging the many and varied ways that teachers respond to student writing as well as the many and varied ways that students influence and interpret those responses: we will be able to narrow the gap between our teaching practices and our research questions.

Abstract:

In a culture where adult play is divorced from work and often experienced as commodified leisure, the Internet has introduced the play element into student and corporate work cultures. English studies enact the work/play split in the historic divisions between rhetoric and poetic, and instrumental and literary writing. How composition instructors approach computer-mediated communication can either challenge or reinforce the work/play split. Synchronous computer conferencing, a venue that often fosters play and conflict, can yield productive moments of carnivalesque discourse through which students can move from “contained” to “disruptive” or politically and personally significant underlife. This essay examines a series of InterChange transcripts to demonstrate how discourse that combines serious and playful purposes works to provoke and mediate conflict. Students use serio-ludic discourse to critique and to negotiate power relations and gendered subject positions with both positive and negative results.

Abstract:

This study examines composition at public Midwestern normal schools, the teacher training institutions of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. It argues that the unique social environment, educational aims, and intellectual traditions of the normal school gave rise to attitudes about composition theory, methods, teachers, and students that are much more compatible with composition’s contemporary ethic than those associated with the elite Eastern colleges where the origins of composition have most often been studied.

Abstract:

Silence has positive as well as negative attributes, and composition teachers can help students understand and use its aesthetic, ethical, and political resources in their personal writing. Approaching silence in these ways can establish new alignments among the expressivist, psychoanalytical, and social discourses that circulate around the term personal writing.

Abstract:

For senior scholars of color like Geneva Smitherman and Victor Villanueva, mentoring is more than an academic exercise. From them and their prot�g�s, we may gain some understanding of the complexities and costs of building a multiethnic/multiracial professoriate in our discipline.

Abstract:

This article examines Black student responses to Black Panther Party documents and how those documents moved the students toward change. I maintain that by allowing the classroom to function as a public space in which students can discuss the issues that matter to them, teachers can help to foster and encourage student activism and ultimately their empowerment.

Abstract:

Classroom assignments, especially papers, often serve as the catalyst for many of the interactions that take place between Black male students and white faculty. This essay identifies some of the pitfalls that contribute to the breakdown of communication between white faculty and Black male students during interactions over student writing; it points out the behaviors that both constrain and facilitate these interactions, and it offers suggestions for how faculty can improve their interactions with this population of students. The essay concludes with suggestions for improving faculty awareness of how racial dynamics impact student/faculty interactions over student writing.

Abstract:

In this story I listen closely to the ways in which two late nineteenth-century American Indian intellectuals, Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins and Charles Alexander Eastman, use the discourses about Indian-ness that circulated during that time period in order to both respond to that discourse and to reimagine what it could mean to be Indian. This use, I argue, is a critical component of rhetorics of survivance.

Johnson, T. R. “School Sucks.” CCC 52.4 (2001): 620-650.

Abstract:

Occasioned by the recent epidemic of violence in schools and the author’s memory of violent schoolyard rhymes, this essay explores the ways students experience contemporary writing pedagogy. To do so, the essay ranges from rhetoric’s historical discussion of the pleasures of writing to composition’s more recent interest in academic professionalism to Gilles Deleuze’s theory of masochism to the problem of teaching and learning in a consumer culture.

Abstract:

Drawing on classroom experiences, the author suggests that philosopher Donald Davidson’s interpretive principle of charity can help explain why communication is impoverished or even impossible in classrooms governed by traditional, authoritarian practices that form a “pedagogy of severity.” If the classroom is to be a place of dialogue, learning, and mutual transformation, teachers should promote a “pedagogy of charity,” which assumes that students are rational beings with mostly true and coherent beliefs.

Abstract:

In the literature of critical pedagogy, resistance theory analyzes, ranks, and judges the emancipatory value of writing behaviors, privileging nonreproductive and transformative consciousness over cultural reproduction. The ranking of consciousness and the central metaphor of “reproduction” too often are naïvely applied, suppressing the political, social, and pedagogical value of writing that develops from within contradictory consciousness.

Abstract:

Analyzing postmodern theory, course discussion, and student texts, this article argues that womanist theology and the texts it gathers can serve as efficacious course content for other-literate students. Womanist theology offers students a scholarly discipline that expresses inter- and intracultural rhetorical awareness, bridging the gap between home and school literacy functions.

Abstract:

Pickett’s narrative version of her 1997 CCCC Chair’s address illuminates her career as shaped by her commitment to two-year college teaching and scholarship. She expounds the civic value and service of two-year institutions nation-wide, focusing particularly on her home institution of Hind College, Mississippi, while simultaneously exposing the prejudices and unjust judgments made against two-year colleges.

Abstract:

Anderson advocates for reflection on the ethical treatment of research subjects and ethical usage of person-based research data, citing such research as constituting a substantial portion of current composition literature. He also cites the vulnerability of subjects whose unpublished words and actions scholars document: students, colleagues, family members and strangers alike. He calls for a discipline-wide discourse on research ethics and compliance with federal regulations on qualitative and quantitative human subject research.

Abstract:

Yancey and Spooner enact their version of collaborative writing using changes in font and text placement to distinguish authors and create multivalent, multivocal presences in their essay. They dialogically work their way through the literature on writerly collaboration and suggest that there are multiple possible enactments of collaboration existing on a continuum from culturally-influenced individual to co-creative, integrated collaborations of peers.

Abstract:

Janangelo’s narrative about student use of hypertextual arguments to fulfill traditional academic discourse assignments point to the lack of “safe and flexible environment[s]” (26) for teacher and student to collaboratively develop new, acceptable persuasive discourse forms. His intent is to highlight the rhetorical skill involved in composing a persuasive hypertext, grounding his argument in the twentieth-century collage work of artist Joseph Cornell, and to suggest ways to “support students’ prefigurative literacy activities” (28).

Abstract:

Clark’s essay moves the teaching of writing from metaphors of rhetoric as “territories” and “places” (i.e., discourse “communities”) to metaphors of “travel” in order to describe rhetoric’s transformative operations across boundaries of discourse communities. Complicating notions of “stable” discourse communities and locations, he suggests that acts of writing and reading must exist in the spaces in between the “territories,” teaching students to “travel effectively across as many boundaries as possible, forming collectives [of] interacting writers and readers in….expansive space” (12).

Flynn, Elizabeth A. “Rescuing Postmodernism.” CCC 48.4 (1997): 540-555.

Abstract:

Flynn analyzes three examples of technical communication research within composition research to illustrate the differences between modern, antimodern, and postmodern critical traditions. She argues that defenders of modern objectivism confuse postmodern critics as subjectivists, leading to erroneous assumptions of being opposed to objectivity as researchers, writers, and teachers. She concludes that both antimodernist and postmodernist critiques are necessary, if different, antidotes for the unchecked, considerable authority of modernist science.

Abstract:

Foster uses his expressivist writing course to study the effects of reading tasks on students’ attitudes and writing practices. His findings contradict usual modeling and structure appropriation rationales for using readings in writing curriculum, but highlight other, more provocative connections to students’ attitudes about themselves as readers and writers. Foster believes these attitudes link more to the pedagogical and instructional context of the academic writing tasks than to the pedagogical format of the readings themselves.

Abstract:

Kates analyzes Mary Augusta Jordon’s Correct Writing and Speaking for its subversively feminist stance on language, identity, and gender. Used as rhetorical instruction outside of academic settings, Jordon’s textbook challenges received conceptions of language use by focusing on alternative conventions and modes of communication, and the negotiated agreements on language use evidenced in the history and evolution of English. Kates juxtaposes Jordon’s text with texts of her early twentieth-century male contemporaries, Genung, Hill, and Wendall.

Abstract:

Working with phonological transfers and specific discourse features in African American and Creole-Caribbean English dialects, Coleman posits the need to broaden literacy instruction to account for the home and community-based oral practices that shape these dialectic Englishes. He concludes that error in developmental student writing is best seen through interlanguage/interdialect theories as “growth errors,” and that more research is needed to understand the differences between speech and writing transfers.

Abstract:

Using the 1979 Ann Arbor “Black English” court case, Ball and Lardner examine the limitations and benefits of three “teacher knowledge” constructs: teacher as technician, teacher knowledge as lore, and teacher efficacy through reflective practice. They analyses these for their ability to aid or inhibit African American students’ learning, and suggest that teachers shift their predispositions toward low expectation by recognizing, utilizing and building on the strengths of their students’ African American English.

They argue that professional development should be at the center of composition and rhetoric graduate programs, complete with accountability to graduate students in terms for funding, personal mentoring, and realistic conversations about post-graduate faculty appointments.

Abstract:

Sullivan et al. raise the problem writing programs face trying to liberate student writing and value home languages, while serving as surveillance for the institutions in which they are embedded. They analyze the politics underlying their own institution’s (Temple University) recent comprehensive reform of its writing programs, focusing specifically on first-year courses. They argue for the reclamation of “requirement,” “service,” and “need” in order to use these terms tactically for reform and to rethink composition’s objectives.

Abstract:

Bloom’s essay is part of a work-in-progress, Coming to Life: Reading, Writing, Teaching Autobiography. Documenting institutional rational for the grading process and the inhibitions that process places on good teaching, she attempts to answer the question, “How can we grade writing in which the writers have laid their life on the line?” by offering student self-evaluation as a way to open dialogue between teacher and student and ease the tensions inherent in the grade-giving process.

Abstract:

Interposing quotes from institutional vision statements with scenes from a team-taught reading and writing course for under-prepared first-year students at Rowan College, Tweedie records his attempt to use race, class, and gender to frame the issues his students take up in class. In this essay, he couples this with his belief that education has to simultaneously promote conformity to and resistance of societal conventions, and explores the contradictions of this dissonance in his teaching experience.

In this essayistic narrative, Eldred draws on Bakhtin’s “Author and Hero in Aesthetic Activity” to describe her mother’s declining health from A.L.S. She weaves her mother’s various spoken and written “voices” into the narrative, moving from Eldred’s youth through her mother’s eventual death. She suggests, as does Bakhtin, that ethically and aesthetically meaningful personal narrative requires an “other,” whether that other is actually another person or one’s own ability to genuinely see oneself as other.

Abstract:

Identifying the “end comment genre,” Smith inquires into the features, patterns, and effectiveness of teacher end comments on student essays. Her study sample contains 208 end comments collected from ten teaching assistants at Penn State. Her analysis leads to suggestions for resisting stable conventions of commenting in order to achieve more effective communication between teacher and student about the student’s writing.

Abstract:

Marshall challenges the center-margins metaphor as perpetuating an “unmarked center,” where class and literacy experience get overridden by assumptions about white dominant cultural values and white middle-class literacy learning. She considers these assumptions by examining the writing of two first-year writing students, pointing out that teacher training should include ways to read student writing rhetorically for the ways in which students in the “middle” are not all the same.

Abstract:

Anderson enters the debate about the ethics of teaching politically activism in the writing classroom (Maxine Hairston). She examines the activist teaching of Dale Bauer and James Berlin in rhetorical, rather than activist, terms. She suggests that conscious pedagogical use of stasis theory, particularly the first levels of “conjecture” and “definition,” takes the teacher out of the position of defending personal political opinions and commitments, leading students effectively into stasis theory levels of “value” and “action.”

Abstract:

Using Pratt’s contact zone theory as his lens, Canagarajah describes the historical and socio-cultural structures of domination and resistance underlying the negotiating strategies subordinate groups use in intercultural communications. He suggests that minority students in an academic setting employ some of the same strategies, including constructing “safe houses” to resolve some of the conflicts they face. He further suggests that identifying and understanding the literate activities of safe house spaces opens up pedagogical possibilities inside and outside those spaces.

CCC Podcasts

CCCC is proud to continue the tradition of publishing podcast episodes concerning the authors’ work in every issue of CCC.

The episodes discuss the contexts of the authors’ research and pedagogy projects that resulted in their published articles. We hope that the episodes will inspire CCC readers to implement at least some of the aspects of research, pedagogy, and writing practices that the authors discuss in the readers’ scholarship and classrooms. We hope that you’ll enjoy listening to the podcast episodes, as well as reading the full articles of the featured authors.

The podcasts were produced by the CCC editorial fellow (2019–2020), Kefaya Diab. The production includes arranging for and facilitating the recorded conversations, editing them into podcast episodes, and transcribing the audio episodes into text to facilitate readability accessibility to the journal’s audience.

Kefaya Diab holds a PhD in rhetoric and professional communication. She currently serves as a postdoctoral fellow at Indiana University (2018–2021). In her research, she engages rhetorical theory and cultural (digital) rhetorics in theorizing activist movements in the Arab world. In teaching, she adopts a critical pedagogy and labor-based learning contracts that invite students to utilize digital rhetorics and composition as tools to promote social justice. Her work has appeared in Sexual Harassment and Cultural Change in Writing Studies, Composition Studies, and Paideia-16 Textbook. She can be reached on her personal website: kefayadiab.weebly.com.

Music used in the podcast episodes is “Live the Moment” by Mikael Manvelyan.
