CALL FOR PAPERS for an interdisciplinary essay collection entitled
(E)Merging Disciplines: Literature, Composition, Reading, Writing. Papers
are invited on any aspect of intersecting approaches to teaching
composition and literature. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
the role of reading in composition classrooms and literature classrooms;
what reading strategies are dictated by a composition or literature focus
and whether a divide is there that needs interrogating; how or whether it
is possible to teach or enact in the classroom a conception of reading
that transcends the traditional binary of "aesthetic" reading vs.
"analytical" reading; the role of writing and its relationship to reading
in a composition vs. a literature classroom; the implications of a shift
in the focus of a literature classroom from reading to writing; the role
of the text for the student in either the composition or literature
classroom and how this role impacts approaches to the teaching of reading
and writing. The aim of this collection is to reinvigorate avenues of
cross-disciplinary conversation between composition, literary studies, and
pedagogy, and to attempt to move beyond traditional binaries and accepted
practices that historically separate them as sub-fields. Please send
completed essays or 500-word abstracts by June 1, 2002, to Heather
Easterling (heasterl@u.washington.edu) or Gary Ettari (poetboy@u.washington.edu),
Box 354330, Department of English, University of Washington, Seattle, WA
98195-4330. Electronic submissions preferred, hard copies gladly
accepted.
