Greer, Jane. “‘No Smiling Madonna’: Marian Wharton and the Struggle to Construct a Critical Pedagogy for the Working Class, 1914-1917.” CCC 51.2 (1999): 248-271.

Abstract:

This article examines the work of Marian Wharton, a socialist and feminist who helped shape the English curriculum at the People’s College in Fort Scott, Kansas, from 1914 to 1917. While other historical projects on writing instruction have focused on women working at or in alliance with elite eastern colleges, Wharton operated outside the traditional academy at a site where the empowerment of the working class was the explicit goal of writing and language instruction. By exploring tensions in Wharton’s work, I hope to develop a rich, historically-situated conception of how the rhetorical activities of women and other marginalized people are a complex interweaving of alliance and antagonism, of free choice and restricted options, of accomplishment and failure.

Lindquist, Julie. “Class Ethos and the Politics of Inquiry: What the Barroom Can Teach Us about the Classroom.” CCC 51.2 (1999): 225-247.

Abstract:

I want to suggest that an examination of rhetorical practices at the local bar is instructive for two reasons: (1) the barroom is predictably different from the university writing classroom; and (2) the barroom is surprisingly similar to the university writing classroom. A look at how neighborhood bars are qualitatively different from classrooms can teach us about our working-class students’ rhetorical motives, and a recognition of how they are functionally similar can teach us something about our own.

Abstract:

I make the following moves in this article: (1) I briefly trace how rhetorical listening emerged in my thinking; (2) I explore disciplinary and cultural biases that subordinate listening to reading and writing and speaking; (3) I speculate why listening is needed; (4) I offer an extended definition of rhetorical listening as a trope for interpretive invention; (5) I demonstrate how it may be employed as a code of cross-cultural conduct; and (6) I listen to a student’s listening.

Abstract:

In writing this paper, I have maintained that the actual act of writing is an important means for reflecting and revising the paradox of one’s privileges. It helps to put one’s self: especially one’s private and day to day thoughts, feelings, and bodily reactions: on the line for personal and public scrutiny. It can initiate exchanges in which colleagues: bystanders and persons in action: could become coinvestigators of not only the problems needing to be posed but also how to go about addressing them. I have emphasized my sense that in spite of the rich insights emerging in the field on how to help our students practice fluency in critical affirmation, we cannot fully benefit from such insights in our teaching if we don’t also use these insights to rework the self in our own “scholarly” activities

Abstract:

Soliday proposes a “progressive version of mainstreaming” to address a basic writing remedial model entrenched in a system that rewards the labeling of students in efforts to “fix” them. She analyzes her proposed two-semester credit-bearing course “responsive to writers with diverse language and cultural backgrounds” by qualitatively evaluating a basic writing student who takes the course.

Abstract:

Grego and Thompson analyze their implementation of a Writing Studio comprised of a small group of students and an instructor as a complement to the required Freshman Composition Course at the University of South Carolina. They use the Studio to reflect how students and composition teachers might jettison the practice of professionalizing writing that uncritically maintains a distinction of basic/normal writers and negates composition as a scholarly enterprise.

Abstract:

Welch argues that student identification with a teacher and a teacher’s model of composition can be complicated by asking students to recognize and revise ideas of what exactly they identify with and what in turn they may be denying, suppressing or perpetrating in the process. Welch recasts the use of a curriculum of writing as therapy arguing that it can complement this revision process by allowing students to identify their transference and challenging teachers to allow written expression of emotion in the composition class as long as such expression is guided by recognition and revision of discourses that inform such expression.

Abstract:

Royster argues that scholarly use of subject position can converge dialectical perspectives, permit interpretation to be “richly informed” and have import for cross-boundary discourse. Subjectivity encourages sensitivity to context and calls for a transformation in theory and practice of scholarship that interrogates notions of voice as skewed toward spoken or written performance. Jones claims voice is constructed visually and orally and “as a phenomenon that has import also in being a thing heard, perceived and reconstructed.”

She examines her ethnographic work in a city neighborhood and considers how composition/rhetoric scholars might consider their civic purpose in the academy and how they might locate themselves in “everyday teaching and learning in neighborhoods.”

Bizzaro, Patrick. “What I Learned in Grad School, or Literacy Training and the Theorizing of Composition. CCC 50.4 (1999): 722-742.

Abstract:

Bizzaro studies seven well-known composition theorists whose wide-ranging work in composition studies is representative of particular moments in the development of the field of composition during the three decades between the 1940s and late 1970s. The essay endeavors “to show […] that theorizing in composition inevitably carries, and continues to carry, the indelible imprint of literary analysis” (725). The conclusion suggests future research toward defining the discipline.

Abstract:

Matsuda raises the question of why research on ESL writing issues in composition literature is disproportionately small for the rapidly growing number of ESL students attending first-year composition courses. He examines the historical context for the intellectual division between composition studies and TESL. He points particularly to 1941-1966, when TESL was professionalizing, overlapping disciplinary development of composition.

Abstract:

George and Trimbur write a retrospective of the relationship between composition and communication from 1949 to the early 1960s. They historicize the failed liaison between the NSSC and CCCC, caused in part by “leading forces in CCCC actively reject[ing] the ‘communications approach’ as inimical to what they believed to be the work of CCCC and of the first-year course” (686), and by “deep-seated ambivalence […] toward the means of mass communication” (686), evident prior to 1949.

Abstract:

Dipping back into the 1930s and 1940s, Heyda makes the case that the rise of communication studies in the 1950s, and composition’s initial alignment with those studies, created the opportunity for composition might have become an independent academic field at that point. But due to “turf wars” with communications, composition broke the alliance and “won” the first-year course, doing so with English Studies backing, which further entrenching composition within English departments.

Abstract:

Weaving anecdote, poetry, and personal narrative into academic dialectic argumentation, Villanueva suggests the profession can improve on its multiculturalism by breaking with European colonial discourse we have revered. He calls for “breaking precedent” by getting to know and teaching “the concepts that come of members of the interior colonies like Puerto Rico and the American Indian nations, [..] the formerly colonized as in America’s people of color, and the neocolonies of Latin America” (659).

He traces “a line of thought from early rhetors and scholars [of the early 1800s] to contemporary researchers, thinkers and practioners that both emphasizes critical pedagogy and values Black culture […and] vernacular” (626).

Abstract:

Taylor and Holberg use historical narratives of TAs in composition and literature graduate programs of the last fifty years to contradict the progress narratives of professionalization encompassing the same time frame. They investigate institutional naming and self-identification of graduate teaching assistant and theorize about TA complicity in reinscribing “[the] trope of the morass of anxiety, apprehension, and angst [as] a distinguishing mark of stories about graduate school” (609).

Abstract:

Ritchie and Boardman’s critical historical survey of the relationship between feminist theory and composition’s disciplinary development offers a reflective understanding of the field through feminist narrative strategies of inclusion, metonymy and distruption. They investigate both published discourse and unpublished ephemera of conversations and experiences of the last four decades or so, encompassing the 1960s through the 1990s, “remind[ing] us that the near-absence of feminism from our publications does not constitute absence from the field” (587).

Abstract:

Royster and Williams point to the gaps in composition’s disciplinary histories that have gone unnoticed as the dominant positionality of the writers of the histories (Kitzhaber, Berlin, North, Miller) are “habitually naturalized, as universal and thereby transparent” (565). These then become the field’s “official” history, despite the presence of compositionists’ diverse positionalities, peripheralizing and excluding counter-narratives. They address particularly the image of the “universal” student and the conflation of race and basic writers.
