Invisible Effects directly engages systems and complexity theory to
reveal how the effects of writing and writing instruction work in
deferred, disguised, and unexpected ways. The book explains how
writing and language that exist in "writing systems" can indirectly
(though powerfully) affect people and environments in sometimes
distant contexts. In so doing, the book takes on a question central
to rhetoric and writing throughout its long history but perhaps
even more pressing today: how do we recognize and measure the
effects of writing when those effects are so tangled up with our
complex material and discursive environments? The surprisingly
powerful effects explored here suggest new ways of thinking about
and teaching writing and the applications, lessons, and examples in
the text precisely model what this thinking and teaching might look
like. This book is primed to serve as an important addition to
reading lists of scholars and graduate students in Writing Studies
and Rhetoric and should appear on many syllabi in courses on
writing and writing instruction and on rhetoric, both introductory
and advanced. As well, the book's advocacy for the unrecognized
potential impact of writing instruction makes it appealing for
writing program directors and any potential university faculty,
administrators, and non-academics interested in the importance and
the efficacy of writing instruction. This book is also a useful
resource for scholars and graduate students specializing in Writing
Across the Curriculum, as the text provides a useful way to shift
the conversation and communicate about writing across disciplines.
