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.

Abstract:

Miller et al. examine the disjunction between graduate student satisfaction with their program of study and their lack of knowledge about and preparation for their professional futures. 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.

Abstract:

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.

Bordelon, Suzanne. “Re-Publish or Perish: A Reassessment of George Pierce Baker’s The Principles of Argumentation: Minimizing the Use of Formal Logic in Favor of Practical Approaches.” CCC 57.4 (2006): 763-788.

Abstract:

The article contends that previous scholars have misread George Pierce Baker’s efforts by focusing primarily on The Principles of Argumentation and the role of logic. Baker’s view of logic was more complex than scholars have claimed. He challenged traditional concepts of formal logic, highlighting only those aspects that would help students learn argument.

Abstract:

Personal narrative embeds the expertise of subordinated groups in stories that seldom translate into public debate. The authors describe a community writing project in which welfare recipients used personal narratives to enter into the public record their tacit and frequently discounted knowledge. The research illustrates the difficulties and possibilities: rhetorical, emotional, and material: of constructing narratives that “cross publics.”

Abstract:

A materialist rhetoric in service learning is needed to teach students how to discover the arguments that already exist in the communities they wish to serve; analyze the effectiveness of those arguments; collaboratively produce viable alternatives with community partners; and assess the impact of their interventions. Through a discussion of a project that attempted but failed to increase parent involvement in Chicago’s public schools, this article shows why rhetorical production needs to be supported by the kind of rhetorical analysis that reveals how institutions exercise power. Materialist rhetoric challenges students, teachers, and community partners to write for social change and define change concretely, in terms of institutional practices or policies that they wish to influence.

Abstract:

Written words are laid out in space and exist on the page all at once, but a reader can only read a few words at a time. For readers, written words are trapped in the medium of time. So how can we best organize writing for readers? Traditional techniques of organization tend to stress the arrangement of parts in space and certain metadiscoursal techniques that compensate for the problem of time. In contrast, I’ll describe five ways to organize written language that harness or bind time. In effect, I’m exploring form as a source of energy. More broadly, I’m implying that our concept itself of “organization” is biased toward a picture of how objects are organized in space and neglects the story of how events are organized in time.

Abstract:

Contesting the monolingualist assumptions in composition, this article identifies textual and pedagogical spaces for World Englishes in academic writing. It presents code meshing as a strategy for merging local varieties with Standard Written English in a move toward gradually pluralizing academic writing and developing multilingual competence for transnational relationships.

Abstract:

Despite the widespread acceptance of many kinds of nonliterary texts for first-year writing courses, primary scientific communication (PSC) remains largely absent. Objections to including PSC, especially that it is not rhetorically appropriate or sufficiently rich, do not hold. We argue for including PSC and give some practical suggestions for developing courses and designing assignments using PSC.

Abstract:

This essay presents a task-based multimodal framework for composing grounded in theories of multiple media and goal formation. By examining the way two students negotiated the complex communicative tasks presented them in class, the essay underscores the benefits associated with asking students to attend to the various motives, activities, tools, and environments that occasion, support, and complicate the production of academic as well as everyday texts.

Abstract:

This essay reports on the first two years of the Stanford Study of Writing, a five-year longitudinal study aimed at describing as accurately as possible all the kinds of writing students perform during their college years. Based on an early finding about the importance students attach to their out-of-class or self-sponsored writing and subsequent interviews with study participants, we argue that student writing is increasingly linked to theories and practices of performance. To illustrate the complex relationships between early college writing and performance, we explore the work of two study participants who are also coauthors of this essay.

Abstract:

Though diversity serves as a valuable source for rhetorical inquiry, expressivist instructors who privilege diversity writing may also overemphasize the essential authenticity of their students’ vernaculars. This romantic and salvationist impulse reveals the troubling implications of eighteenth-century Natural Language Theory and may, consequently, lead to exoticizing and stereotyping students’ linguistic performances.

Abstract:

This essay examines the history of a massive literacy campaign called the Citizenship School Program that began as a response to the racist literacy tests that disenfranchised countless African American voters throughout the Southern United States between 1945 and 1965. The Citizenship Schools prepared thousands of African Americans to pass the literacy test by using materials that critiqued white supremacism and emphasized the twentieth-century struggle for civil rights.

Abstract:

This essay examines a Brooklyn College-based research collective that placed African American languages and cultures at the center of the composition curriculum. Recovering such pedagogies challenges the perception of the CCCC’s 1974 “Students’ Right to Their Own Language” resolution as a progressive theory divorced from the everyday practices and politics of the composition classroom.

Bordelon, Suzanne. “George Pierce Baker’s Principles of Argumentation: ‘Completely Logical’?” CCC 57.3 (2006): 416-441.

Abstract:

In preparing Suzanne Bordelon’s article for the February issue of CCC (57.3), the editorially unthinkable happened: An earlier version of her fine article replaced the final, well-revised version as it went to the printer. In addition to my profuse apologies to Professor Bordelon, I have decided to publish the correct version of the article, delaying until September my publication of Janet Eldred’s review essay of several books on technology. The silver lining, in this instance, is a teachable moment, a rare glimpse for readers of CCC into an accountable but ultimately human (and I hope humane) editorial process: Bordelon’s article, quite good to begin with, was judged an “accept with revisions,” and she revised the article extensively and well, passing muster with a final read by one of the first reviewers and me. Comparing the two versions, the article erroneously sent to the printer in February and the most current version, in this issue should in itself demonstrate the complexities and hard work of the editing, reviewing, and authoring processes. Most significantly, I hope they also demonstrate that human beings, for better or worse, are behind even the most careful, accountable, and efficient editorial work. I am indebted to Professor Bordelon for her graciousness in light of this error, and I’m pleased to be able to make things right.

Gere, Anne Ruggles. “Kitchen Tables and Rented Rooms: The Extracurriculum of Composition.” CCC 45.1 (1994): 75-92.

Abstract:

Gere sees composition scholars as having neglected to recount the history of composition in contexts outside the school classroom. She briefly reviews contemporary community-based writer’s groups that encourage participants to hone their craft. She then examines historical popular magazines and women’s clubs that encouraged literacy practices outside academia. In urging an examination of the relationship between domestic and academic scenes, Gere does not claim we should move away from current professionalism but rather that we consider “our own roles as agents within the culture that encompasses the communities on both sides of the classroom wall.”

Clark, Gregory. “Rescuing the Discourse of Community.” CCC 45.1 (1994): 61-74.

Abstract:

Beginning with the premise that most contemporary rhetorics of discourse community assume political equality and obviate against difference, Clark seeks to redefine the concept. Maintaining that such a collectivity should remain democratic, he cites the work of ethicists Nel Noddings and Edith Wyschogrod to guide the participation of discourse that “directs people to value their differences because that is what enables their cooperation as equals.”

Hollis, Karyn. “Liberating Voices: Autobiographical Writing at the Bryn Mawr Summer School for Women Workers, 1921-1938.” CCC 45.1 (1994): 31-60.

Abstract:

Hollis examines the pedagogy and student texts associated with the Bryn Mawr Summer School for Women Workers, the first of four resident colleges for women established in the 1920s and 30s in America. She claims such pedagogy and autobiographical writing provide valuable examples for composition teachers to better understand current feminist and progressive pedagogies such as non-hierarchical teaching, student-centered pedagogy, interdisciplinary approaches, and student writing across of a wide range of genres. Recovering such history shows “one of the few instances” of a “successful cross-class alliance among upper,-, middle-, and working-class women from a variety of ethnic, religious, and geographic backgrounds.”

Abstract

Some scholarship suggests that critical pedagogy should be abandoned for more pragmatic goals. While the democratic and political sensibilities of critical pedagogy require more from the instructor, classrooms that on the surface do not appear to work in teaching students should not be seen as signs that the pedagogy is not worth the extra effort. The classroom experience recounted in this piece suggests that blundered implementation can function as an opportunity to advance knowledge and to understand the ongoing project of critical pedagogy, strengthening it even as we realize that critical pedagogy cannot look and feel like status quo teaching and still enact progressive goals.

Kinloch, Valerie Felita. “Revisiting the Promise of Students’ Right to Their Own Language: Pedagogical Strategies..” CCC 57.1 (2005): 83-113.

Abstract

The implications of the Students’ Right to Their Own Language resolution on classroom teaching and practices point to a continual need to reevaluate how communicative actions: linguistic diversities: of students are central aspects of the work within composition courses. This article revisits the historical significance and pedagogical value of the resolution in its critique of student-teacher exchanges, in its advancement of strategies that invite language variations into composition courses, and in its proposal to support the expressive rights of students.

Abstract

This essay attempts to demonstrate how transgender theories can inspire pedagogical methods that complement feminist compositionist pedagogical approaches to understanding the narration of gender as a social construct. By examining sample student writing generated by a prompt inspired by transgender theories, the author’s analysis suggests how trans theories might usefully expand and extend: for both instructors and students: our analysis of the stories we tell personally, socially, and politically about gender. Ultimately, the author argues that trans theories and pedagogical activities built on them can enhance our understanding of gender performance by prompting us to consider gender as a material and embodied reality.

Abstract

New-media writing exerts pressure in ways that writing instruction typically has not. In this article, we map the infrastructural dynamics that support: or disrupt: newmedia writing instruction, drawing from a multimedia writing course taught at our institution. An infrastructural framework provides a robust tool for writing teachers to navigate and negotiate the institutional complexities that shape new-media writing and offers composers a path through which to navigate the systems within and across which they work. Further, an infrastructural framework focused on the when of newmedia composing creates space for reflection and change within institutional structures and networks.
