Anne Ruggles Gere. Revealing Silence: Rethinking Personal Writing.

Gere, Anne Ruggles. "Revealing Silence: Rethinking Personal Writing." CCC. 53.2 (2001): 203-223.

Abstract:

Silence has positive as well as negative attributes, and composition teachers can help students understand and use its aesthetic, ethical, and political resources in their personal writing. Approaching silence in these ways can establish new alignments among the expressivist, psychoanalytical, and social discourses that circulate around the term personal writing.
