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.

Matsuda, Paul Kei. “Composition Studies and ESL Writing: A Disciplinary Division of Labor.” CCC 50.4 (1999): 699-721.

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).

Abstract:

Gilyard draws out connections between African American intellectual and rhetorical traditions to emphasize the importance of these traditions as highly influencial contributions to composition studies. 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.
