Beskrivning
In response to those who insist that rhetoric and composition should remain only a service discipline, editor Gary A. Olson's Rhetoric and Composition as Intellectual Work demonstrates that it already is an intellectual discipline, that for at least a quarter of a century the field has developed an impressive tradition of intellectual work in a remarkable assortment of subject areas. Rhetoric and Composition as Intellectual Work suggests the diversity of intellectual projects that have and will continue to make rhetoric and composition more than a service to the university, more than a field devoted solely to improving writing pedagogy, and more than a preliminary to literary studies. This collection of nineteen essays by some of the most distinguished scholars in the discipline illustrates that rhetoric and composition has much to contribute to the intellectual milieu of the contemporary university, as the field continues to push its disciplinary borders and discover new sites of investigation.

Recensioner i media

Full of insights, courage, and hope, Rhetoric and Composition as Intellectual Work is an invaluable book for educators, students, and others who believe that analyzing and writing the word represents a form of public intervention that is central to understanding and engaging the world. - Henry A. Glroux, Penn State University ""[F]or at least a quarter of a century the field has developed an impressive tradition of intellectual work in a remarkable assortment of subject areas, many of which do not consider the teaching of writing to be their only or even primary focus or objective. Rhetoric and Composition as Intellectual Work describes, examines, and critiques some of the intellectual work in the field and proposes new directions for such work in the future.... Cumulatively, these chapters present a picture of a vibrant field of substantive scholarship about a formidable array of academic subjects revelant to the working of written discourse."" - Gary A. Olson, from the Preface
