Microhistories of Composition
Editat de Bruce Mccomiskeyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2016 – vârsta de la 18 ani
Writing
studies
has
been
dominated
throughout
its
history
by
grand
narratives
of
the
discipline,
but
in
this
volume
Bruce
McComiskey
begins
to
explore
microhistory
as
a
way
to
understand,
enrich,
and
complicate
how
the
field
relates
to
its
past.
Microhistory
investigates
the
dialectical
interaction
of
social
history
and
cultural
history,
enabling
historians
to
examine
uncommon
sites,
objects,
and
agents
of
historical
significance
overlooked
by
social
history
and
restricted
to
local
effects
by
cultural
history.
This
approach
to
historical
scholarship
is
ideally
suited
for
exploring
the
complexities
of
a
discipline
like
composition.
Through an introduction and eleven chapters, McComiskey and his contributors—including major figures in the historical research of writing studies, such as Louise Wetherbee Phelps, Kelly Ritter, and Neal Lerner—develop focused narratives of particular significant moments or themes in disciplinary history. They introduce microhistorical methodologies and illustrate their application and value for composition historians, contributing to the complexity and adding momentum to the emerging trend within writing studies toward a richer reading of the field’s past and future. Scholars and historians of both composition and rhetoric will appreciate the fresh perspectives on institutional and disciplinary histories and larger issues of rhetorical agency and engagement enacted in writing classrooms that are found inMicrohistories of Composition.
Other contributors include Cheryl E. Ball, Suzanne Bordelon, Jacob Craig, Matt Davis, Douglas Eyman, Brian Gogan, David Gold, Christine Martorana, Bruce McComiskey, Josh Mehler, Annie S. Mendenhall, Kendra Mitchell, Antony N. Ricks, David Stock, Kathleen Blake Yancey, Bret Zawilski, and James T. Zebroski.
