During this period, longstanding organizational patterns within the discipline were disrupted. With the introduction of French theory into the American academy in the 1960s and 1970s, both literary studies and composition studies experienced a significant reorientation.\u003cbr\u003e The introduction of theory into English studies not only intensified existing tensions between those in literature and those in composition but also produced commonalities among colleagues that had not previously existed. As a result, the various fields within English began to share an increasing number of investments at the same time that institutional conflicts between them became more intense than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e Through careful reconsiderations of some of the key figures who shaped and were shaped by this new landscape—including Michel Foucault, Kenneth Burke, Paul de Man, Fredric Jameson, James Berlin, Susan Miller, John Guillory, and Bruno Latour—the book offers a more comprehensive map of the discipline than is usually understood from the perspective of either literature or composition alone.\u003cbr\u003e Possessing a clear view of the entire discipline is essential today as the contemporary corporate university pushes English studies to abandon its liberal arts tradition and embrace a more vocational curriculum. This book provides important conceptual tools for responding to and resisting in this environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e, 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1.\u003c\/b\u003e On the Use and Abuse of Rhetoric in Composition and Theory, 23\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2. \u003c\/b\u003eBetween Standardization and Serialization: Kenneth Burke, Fredric Jameson, and Radical Criticism in the Post-Fordist Era, 60\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3. \u003c\/b\u003eMapping the Archival Turn in English Studies, 92\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4.\u003c\/b\u003e Toward an Aesthetics without Literature, 131\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5.\u003c\/b\u003e New Things, Old Things: Reading the Latourian Turn Symptomatically, 156\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCoda\u003c\/b\u003e: English Studies and the Uncertain Future, 193\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/b\u003e, 203\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotes\u003c\/b\u003e, 205\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eBibliography\u003c\/b\u003e, 221\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eIndex\u003c\/b\u003e, 241\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580331225368,"sku":"9780823282456","price":23.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-two-cultures-of-english-literature-composition-and-the-moment-of-rhetoric-paperback-softback-9780823282456","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
