Integrating Hypertextual Subjects: Computers, Composition, and Academic Labor"This book examines how one can teach composition with computers while reflecting critically on the ways technology affects student literacies, faculty labor issues, and the educational environment at contemporary universities. By articulating concerns regarding pedagogy and postmodern academic institutions, the book develops an economic, political, and cultural account of the field of computers and composition. Of special importance is the analysis of how the employment of new technologies in writing classes affects student writing, faculty research, pedagogical innovations, and the employment practices of research universities. By articulating a technological and holistic conception of composition studies through the integration of process-oriented, expressivist, social constructivist, and current-traditional models of writing pedagogies, this volume shows teachers how they can both use and critique digital technologies in college writing courses. Furthermore, in employing a multimedia approach to the study of computers and composition, the book suggests ways of helping students to author their own new media in writing courses."--BOOK JACKET. |
