Abstract:

Using Frederic Jameson, we outline concentric circles of the political unconscious structuring debates about academic freedom at the national and state levels. By drawing parallels between the World War I university and the contemporary university, we suggest that such circles function historically, always bearing traces of an earlier time. To illustrate implications at one local site, we discuss the “Anti-American Studies” fliers repeatedly posted in our department and end by emphasizing the importance of using critical writing pedagogies to encourage opportunities for dissenting rhetorics.

Abstract:

This essay reports on a university-school oral history project at an elementary school in Brooklyn, New York. It theorizes the dialectic of place and history as expressed in the voices of the school community and goes on to suggest some tenets for a public sphere pedagogy rooted in material rhetoric and economic geography.

Abstract:

This article traces a decline in CCCC sessions on language along with a shift toward more reductive definitions. It analyzes early CCCC treatment of language issues, the Students’ Right document, changes in demographics and linguistics, and shifts within English departments that have left us overdue for professional reexamination of our role as teachers of language.

Abstract:

In this article we propose, theorize, demonstrate, and report early results from a course that approaches first-year composition as Introduction to Writing Studies. This pedagogy explicitly recognizes the impossibility of teaching a universal academic discourse and rejects that as a goal for first-year composition. It seeks instead to improve students’ understanding of writing, rhetoric, language, and literacy in a course that is topically oriented to reading and writing as scholarly inquiry and that encourages more realistic conceptions of writing.

Ritter, Kelly. “Before Mina Shaughnessy: Basic Writing at Yale, 1920-1960.” CCC 60.1 (2008): 12-45.

Abstract:

This article examines Yale’s “Awkward Squad” of basic writers between 1920 and 1960. Using archival materials that illustrate the socioeconomic conditions of this early, “pre-Shaughnessy” site of remedial writing instruction, I argue for a re-definition of basic in composition studies using local, institutional values rather than generic standards of correctness applied uniformly to all colleges and universities.

Abstract:

This article argues that mid-1970s discourses of literacy crisis prompted a problematic shift toward color-blind ideologies of language and literacy within both disciplinary and institutional discussions of writing instruction for “high-risk” minority students. It further argues that this shift has continuing import for contemporary antiracist writing instruction.

Abstract

This article explores the emotioned dimensions of racist discourses at an all-white public high school. I argue that students’ racist assertions do not always or even often originate in students’ racist attitudes or belief. Instead, racist language functions metaphorically, connecting common racist ideas to nonracist feelings, values, beliefs, and associations that are learned in the routine practices and culture of school.

Abstract

I argue that examining two collections of essays designed for the preparation of new writing teachers and published twenty years apart provides some important clues to what has occurred to composition studies in the interval. Building on the framework I established in two previous CCC articles, I argue that composition studies has become a less unified and more contentious discipline early in the twenty-first century than it had appeared to be around 1990. The present article specifically addresses the rise of what I call critical/cultural studies, the quiet expansion of expressive approaches to teaching writing, and the split of rhetorical approaches into three: argumentation, genre analysis, and preparation for “the” academic discourse community.

Abstract

This article examines a writing textbook published in the People’s Republic of China over two editions. I will argue that competing ideologies have constantly and in multifold manners dictated the ways this textbook was produced, disseminated, consumed, and reproduced: the rhetoric for a textbook’s production and existence.

Abstract

Using sample student analyses of online paper mill Web sites, student survey responses, and existing scholarship on plagiarism, authorship, and intellectual property, this article examines how the consumerist rhetoric of the online paper mills construes academic writing as a commodity for sale, and why such rhetoric appeals to students in first-year composition, whose cultural disconnect from the academic system of authorship increasingly leads them to patronize these sites.

Abstract

Although most portfolio evaluation currently uses some adaptation of holistic scoring, the problems with scoring portfolios holistically are many, much more than for essays, and the problems are not readily resolvable. Indeed, many aspects of holistic scoring work against the principles behind portfolio assessment. We have from the start needed a scoring methodology that responds to and reflects the nature of portfolios, not merely an adaptation of essay scoring. I here propose a means for scoring portfolios that allows for relatively efficient grading where portfolio scores are needed and where time and money are in short supply. It is derived conceptually from portfolio theory rather than essay-testing theory and supports the key principle behind portfolios, that students should be involved with reflection about and assessment of their own work. It is time for the central role that reflective writing can play in portfolio scoring to be put into practice.

Abstract

Assessment, including writing assessment, is a form of social action. Because standardized tests can be used to reify the social order, local assessments that take into account specific contexts are more likely to yield useful information about student writers. This essay describes one such study, a multiple-measure comparison of accelerated summer courses with nonaccelerated courses. We began with the assumption that the accelerated courses would probably not be as effective as the longer courses; but our assessment found that assumption largely to be incorrect. Contextual information made it clear that students were taking summer accelerated courses strategically, for reasons we had been unaware of and in ways that forced us to reinterpret their writing and our courses.

Abstract:

In the interest of better understanding the challenges of enacting new pedagogies in the classroom, the following essay focuses on the role of genre and uptake in the relational negotiation of self-presentation. I argue that to bring our teaching practices in line with our best intentions and most progressive pedagogies we need to be aware not only that reliance on the legibility associated with familiar subject positions motivates student resistance in the composition classroom but, moreover, that our interest in securing self-presentations as teachers may motivate everyday interactions that work to maintain the status quo.

Abstract:

This article examines the connection between religion and literacy efforts on behalf of girls and young women in the early nineteenth-century United States by looking at the rapid proliferation of Catholic convent academies and the anti-Catholic sentiment that spurred the growth of proprietary academies, such as those of Mary Lyon and Catharine Beecher. It also examines how religious rhetoric influenced the curriculum in both Catholic and proprietor schools.

Abstract:

The authors discuss what they deem a “success story” of how they and writing faculty reclaimed their land grant university’s assessment program. They offer the narrative of their work in contrast to what they perceive as a stereotyped story of teachers victimized by administrative interests. They claim the “moral is that writing teachers should be leery of assessment tools made by others” but “should, and can, make their own.”

Abstract:

Smith proposes a solution to what he deems the lack of comprehensive and operative clout of the concept of illiteracy. Illiteracy fails to adequately describe a larger cultural failure in education and mass media. He proposes the word illegeracy as a multivalent solution. Illegeracy, he argues is more inclusive than the word illiteracy to describe “a missing skill, an unhappy state and a social (in)action that follows in consequence.” Furthermore he claims illegeracy applies to a wider berth of citizens, not just to students. Three problems that contribute to illegeracy are an inability to read, a failure to see choices, and an abdicating of political power.

Abstract:

Glenn reconstructs the life and rhetoric of Aspasia of Miletus, a woman rhetor of the firth century BCE as part of a larger project in challenging dominant contemporary rhetorical history and theory that neglects women. Against lists and indices of primary works in rhetorical history do not mention women, many have assumed women have not been involved in rhetorical history. A remapping of such unquestioned scholarship is necessary for a more gender representative “understanding of rhetorics of the past [that] underwrites our capacity for further theorizing.”

Abstract:

Miller first reviews how histories of English Studies demarcate a hierarchical division of labor where intellectual work is deemed the province of literary studies not composition. He suggests an alternative history, one which deem the student work rather than literary text would serve as the principal object of study in the composition field, one he deems the “single most institutional function” of English departments, one rife with positive political possibilities of discussion, and one that would “provide a common ground” upon which the relationship between composition and literary studies might be reworked.

Abstract:

In this article, the author argues for a more balanced approach to style, one that recognizes both the value of conciseness as well as the art of amplification through elaboration, emphasis, and copiousness of style. The author points out that the difference between the two – a style that values brevity and disclosure and one that values superfluity and repetition – is not cut and dry; a plain style can be just as deceptive as an elaborate one and a redundant paragraph can be more understandable than a concise one. He surveys how amplification is taught in classical, medieval, and contemporary rhetoric and offers fifteen amplification strategies that teachers can have students practice and use to enrich their own writing.

Abstract:

The authors in this article offer a new taxonomy of rhetorical heuristics for arrangement of academic prose, an area of study they claim has been largely ignored in the past decade of composition research. They base their rhetorical patterns, such as “obvious before remarkable” and “presentation before refutation,” on current cognitive processing theories, which place importance on text readability and retention, ease of processing, and a sense of orientation in the text. The authors warn composition teachers against using the heuristics as rigid prescriptions, pointing out that good, persuasive writing reflects the audience’s expectations and contains creative rhetorical choices. Arrangement is never foolproof, for it is also affected, as literary theory shows, by the social and historical parameters of the writer, which may compromise the author’s control over his or her language choices.

Abstract:

This article argues that in the 1980s, the field of composition moved toward a general axiological agreement of what makes good writing – rhetorical understanding that takes into account the needs of the audience – but disagreed on the methods for teaching toward this end. The author points out that the many trends in writing instruction piloted in the 1980s, such as discourse analysis and writing across the curriculum, are differing pedagogical models for the same purpose: audience and context awareness. He also points out that although there are many ways for achieving the same goal in teaching composition, some textbooks and handbooks advocate exercises and assignments that do not support the rhetorical axiology that the field seems ready to endorse.

Abstract:

This article analyzes five years (1984-1989) of empirical studies of composition from the Research in the Teaching of English Annotated Bibliography, examining the major patterns and trends in composition research. The author points out that composition is being called on to solve the literacy crisis in American education, and in order to contribute to the solution, more research focused on minority, middle school, and high school writers needs to be conducted by composition scholars. The author also warns against creating divisions over theoretical frameworks or methodologies because these debates can stall the production of research and knowledge.
