At Play in the Fields of Writing: A Serio-ludic RhetoricSerio-ludic rhetoric defines play with language and images as a synthesis of work and play that is rhetorically productive, can help overcome student alienation, and can help heal the split between rhetoric and poetic in English studies. The book explores this concept through analysis of student and instructor electronic projects and synchronous discussion conferences, demonstrating that serio-ludic discourse is often creative, productive, and rhetorically invigorating. At Play in the Fields of Writing offers a vision of the writing classroom that can help instructors find ways of making a place for productive play in their courses and professional lives."--Jacket. |
