Rediscovered texts for teaching composition and rhetoric. A project
of recovery and reanimation, Lost Texts in Rhetoric and Composition
foregrounds a broad range of publications that deserve renewed
attention. Contributors to this volume reclaim these lost texts to
reenvision the rhetorical tradition itself. Authors discussed
include not only twentieth-century American compositionists but
also a linguist, a poet, a philosopher, a painter, a Renaissance
rhetorician, and a nineteenth-century pioneer of comics; the
collection also features some less studied works by authors who
remain well known. These texts will give rise to new conversations
about current ideas in composition and rhetoric. This volume
contains discussion of the following authors and titles: Judah
Messer Leon, The Book of the Honeycomb's Flow, Angel DeCora,
Sterling Andrus Leonard, English Composition as a Social Problem,
Rodolphe Töpffer, William James, Kenneth Burke, Adrienne Rich, Ann
E. Berthoff, John Mohawk, "Western Peoples, Natural Peoples,"
William Vande Kopple, William Irmscher, Beat Not the Poor Desk,
Walter J. Ong, Geneva Smitherman, Thomas Zebroski, Linda Brodkey,
Craig S. Womack, Deborah Cameron, James Slevin, Marilyn Sternglass,
and William E. Coles, Jr.
Compelling Confessions: The Politics of Personal Disclosure is a
collection of essays whose shared purpose is to offer an accessible
interdisciplinary exploration of the social dynamics behind
confessional discourse. As various contributors to this collection
demonstrate, confession is ubiquitous in contemporary culture, not
only within psychological or therapeutic frameworks or literary
analysis, but also in internet discussion groups, in the criminal
justice system, in political rhetoric, in so-called "reality" and
interview-style television programming, in writing pedagogy and,
increasingly, in the testimonial strain observable in contemporary
scholarship. Yet, "telling one's story" raises questions, not only
about authorial intent or authenticity, but also about the
pressures disclosure can impose upon its audiences. Far less
ubiquitous than confessions themselves, as these contributors
suggest, are the critical tools that general audiences might employ
in order to better evaluate the rhetoric of personal disclosure. It
is, in fact, the shortage of such tools - responses and procedures
that could be stated plainly and implemented by any reader or
viewer - that Compelling Confessions sets out to address.
WRITING PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION Series Editors: SUSAN H. MCLEOD and
MARGOT SOVEN THE WPA OUTCOMES STATEMENT-A DECADE LATER addresses
the national and global dispersion and influence of the Council of
Writing Program Administrators' Outcomes Statement ten years after
its adoption and publication. Relating how the Outcomes Statement
informs the work of writing programs, writing centers, and English
departments, the essays demonstrate the significant influence of
the Outcomes Statement in and across institutions in various
institutional categories. The WPA Outcomes Statement-A Decade Later
contributes to the scholarly conversation by discussing relevant
issues of assessment and accountability in institutional contexts.
Edited by NICHOLAS N. BEHM, GREGORY R. GLAU, DEBORAH H. HOLDSTEIN,
DUANE ROEN, and EDWARD M. WHITE, the collection also interrogates
the politics that may pervade writing programs as writing program
administrators attempt to adapt the Outcomes Statement to suit
local institutional contexts, implement the revised outcomes, and
develop curricula that support and manifest those outcomes. The
collection explores programmatic issues that may result from its
implementation and corresponding assessment strategies for
measuring its impact on student learning. THE WPA OUTCOMES
STATEMENT-A DECADE Later serves as an informative resource for
former, current, and future writing program administrators,
scholars within composition studies and writing program
administration, and other stakeholders concerned about writing
programs, writing assessment, and the teaching of writing.
