The Function of Theory in Composition Studies

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the evolution of composition studies, Raul Sanchez critiques the prevailing theoretical trends that prioritize a narrow, representational view of writing. He argues that this perspective detracts from understanding the essence of writing and its practitioners. Proposing an alternative metatheory, Sanchez emphasizes the generative nature of writing, advocating for a conceptual shift that places writing at the forefront of composition studies, especially within the context of modern, interconnected cultures.
