"In Saying and Silence, Frank Farmer explores the relationship between the meaningful word and the meaningful pause, between saying and silence, especially as this relationship emerges in our classrooms, our disciplinary conversations, and in encounters with publics beyond the academy. Each of his chapters here addresses some aspect of how we and our students, colleagues, and critics have our say, speak our piece, often under conditions where silence is the institutionally sanctioned and preferred alternative. He has enlisted a number of Bakhtinian ideas (the superaddressee, outsideness, voice in dialogue), to help in the project of interpreting the silences we hear, of naming the silences we do not hear, and of encouraging all silences to speak in ways that are freely chosen, not enforced." "What he offers, then, is a compact collection that addresses major areas of Bakhtinian thought and influence on composition practice to date. And he does this in a voice and style that will be accessible to the general scholar as well as the specialist, and will be suitable for use with the advanced composition student, too."--BOOK JACKET.
