Robert Davis and Mark Shadle. "Building a Mystery": Alternative Research Writing and the Academic Act of Seeking.

Davis, Robert and Mark Shadle. "'Building a Mystery': Alternative Research Writing and the Academic Act of Seeking." CCC 51.3 (2000): 417-446.

Abstract:

Alternative forms of research writing that displace those of modernism are unfolded, ending with "multi-writing," which incorporates multiple genres, disciplines, cultures, and media to syncretically gather post/modern forms. Such alternatives represent a shift in academic values toward a more exploratory inquiry that honors mystery.
