Description
Summary:Building on recent work in rhetoric and composition that takes an historical materialist approach, Dangerous Writing outlines a political economic theory of composition. The book connects pedagogical practices in writing classes to their broader political economic contexts, and argues that the analytical power of students & rsquo; writing is prevented from reaching its potential by pressures within the academy and without, that tend to wed higher education with the aims and logics of & ldquo;fast-capitalism. & rdquo; Since the 1980s and the & ldquo;social turn & rdquo; in composition studies and other.
