Spigelman, Candace. “Habits of Mind: Historical Configurations of Textual Ownership in Peer Writing Groups.” CCC 49.2 (1998): 234-255.

Abstract:

Spigelman argues that cultural ideas about intellectual property rights shape students’ response to collaborative group work and peer review. She examines Western historical tensions between individuality and collectivity in issues of authorship and intellectual property, and applies these insights to one writing group in a first-year composition course at Penn State.

Adler-Kassner, Linda. “Ownership Revisited: An Exploration in Progressive Era and Expressivist Composition Scholarship.” CCC 49.2 (1998): 208-233.

Abstract:

Adler-Kassner looks at the historical tenets of student ownership of their writing in progressivist pedagogy of the early 1900s and expressivist pedagogy of the 1960s and 1970s. Her concern is that these advocacy approaches are more a reflection of the theorists’ cultural contexts than the students’, and suggests a “new, more useable concept of [student] ownership is emerging” (209) in composition’s work on portfolio assessment and service-learning pedagogies.

Abstract:

Farmer contends that Cultural Studies can resist becoming an elitist enterprise by the incorporation of Bakhtinian dialogic theory into the pedagogy. The instructor can then best serve as provocateur and moderator of classroom dialogue and critique for “the project of uncovering the hidden truths of the day” (196) found in popular culture, as well as bring students to voice and authority through engagement with the culture within which they live.

Abstract:

Brandt lays out her theory that literacy learning as an individual development as well as and economic development. By telling the narratives of two women working in the clerical field between 1940 and 1970, she illustrates how literacy learning opportunities exist in fragile and contingent contexts dependant on specific economic moments, and are sponsored, or withheld, by agents who stand to gain some economic advantage by supporting or suppressing such opportunities.
