Images; or, Back to the Future of (Rhetoric and?) Composition. CCC 59.4
(2008): 750-780.
Abstract:
This article places responses
received from an open-ended survey of graduate students and faculty in dialogue
with published commentary on the scope of composition studies as a discipline to
explore three interrelated disciplinary dilemmas: the "pedagogical imperative,"
the "theory-practice split," and the increasingly complicated relationship
between "rhetoric" and "composition" as our field's titular terms.
