Assembling Composition

246 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Drawing on historical studies as well as on current innovations of composing, Assembling Composition provides a new framework for understanding composing. As Kathleen Blake Yancey, Stephen J. McElroy, and their contributors detail, assemblage theory explains disparate composing practices--from postcard production in the early twentieth century to database-informed composing in the twenty-first, from museum-inspired collecting to creative repetitions of authentic Native American practices. And as a key concept, assemblage has been field tested in several settings, including first-year composition, upper-level writing courses, and graduate courses. Assembling Composition speaks particularly to four dimensions of assemblage: - Ways that assemblage helps us theorize current digital and material composing practices- Ways that employing assemblage as a key term and practice in the teaching of writing can assist both teachers and students- Ways that assemblage has historically contributed to everyday composing- And ways that we can interrogate assemblage as an ethical practiceCollectively, these chapters complicate and enrich our understandings of composing, our sense of what constitutes a text, and our expectation of the potential effects of texts.
