Susan Welsh. Resistance Theory and Illegitimate Reproduction.

Welsh, Susan. "Resistance Theory and Illegitimate Reproduction." CCC 52.4 (2001): 553-573.

Abstract:

In the literature of critical pedagogy, resistance theory analyzes, ranks, and judges the emancipatory value of writing behaviors, privileging nonreproductive and transformative consciousness over cultural reproduction. The ranking of consciousness and the central metaphor of "reproduction" too often are naïvely applied, suppressing the political, social, and pedagogical value of writing that develops from within contradictory consciousness.
