"A Counter-History of Composition" contests the foundational
disciplinary assumption that vitalism and contemporary rhetoric
represent opposing, disconnected poles in the writing tradition.
Vitalism has been historically linked to expressivism and
concurrently dismissed as innate, intuitive, and unteachable,
whereas rhetoric is seen as a rational, teachable method for
producing argumentative texts. Counter to this, Byron Hawk
identifies vitalism as the ground for producing rhetorical
texts-the product of complex material relations rather than the
product of chance. Through insightful historical analysis ranging
from classical Greek rhetoric to contemporary complexity theory,
Hawk defines three forms of vitalism (oppositional, investigative,
and complex) and argues for their application in the environments
where students write and think today.
Hawk proposes that complex vitalism will prove a useful tool in
formulating post-dialectical pedagogies, most notably in the
context of emerging digital media. He relates two specific examples
of applying complex vitalism in the classroom and calls for the
reexamination and reinvention of current self-limiting pedagogies
to incorporate vitalism and complexity theory.
