| Description: |
Many of the ideas and insights presented in this volume emerged out of work accomplished at the University of Louisville English Department's 2010 Thomas R. Watson Conference on Rhetoric and Composition on 'Working English in Rhetoric and Composition: Global/local Contexts, Commitments, Consequences'. |
| Synopsis: |
In Reworking English in Rhetoric and Composition, editor's Bruce Horner and Karen Kopelson gather leading scholars and new voices in the field of rhetoric and composition to offer a dynamic new perspective on English as it is used today. This provocative volume explores the myriad ways in which English is constantly redefined, revised, and redirected through specific, located acts of writing, rhetoric, teaching, and learning. Contributors provide insightful contributions to the study of English from both national and international perspectives, revealing the language as a fluid and constantly changing manner of expression that challenges established notions. In part one, "Reworking Language," writers call into question the idea of language as a static, stable entity. In part two, "Locations and Migrations: Global/Local Interrogations," contributors explore the impact of writing and teaching English in both in the United States and abroad, from Arkansas and Oklahoma to China, Jamaica, and Lebanon. Part three, "Pedagogical/Institutional Interventions," addresses English in institutional settings and the implications for future pedagogical work.Each essay in this revolutionary volume substantiates two key premises for the rethinking of English: first, that languages are susceptible to constant change through the very acts of writing, teaching, and learning, and second, that this reworking occurs as it moves between various temporal and spatial locations. Throughout the volume, the variety and flexibility of English across the globe are both advocated and revealed, rejecting dominant Anglophone perspectives and instead placing language in cross-cultural contexts. Brimming with informative and thought-provoking insights, Reworking English in Rhetoric and Composition breathes new life into the field and provides direction for scholars and teachers looking to the future of English. |
