Beyond Postprocess and Postmodernism: Essays on the Spaciousness of Rhetoric

by Theresa Jarnagi Enos (Editor), Keith D. Miller (Editor)

In this collection of original essays, editors Theresa Enos and Keith D. Miller join their contributors--a veritable "who's who" in composition scholarship--in seeking to illuminate and complicate many of the tensions present in the field of rhetoric and composition. The contributions included here emphasize key issues in past and present work, setting the stage for future thought and study. The book also honors the late Jim Corder, a major figure in the development of the rhetoric and composition discipline. In the spirit of Corder's unfinished work, the contributors to this volume absorb, probe, stretch, redefine, and interrogate classical, modern, and postmodern rhetorics--and challenge their limitations.

Beyond Postprocess and Essays on the Spaciousness of Rhetoric will be of interest to scholars, teachers, and students in rhetoric and composition, English, and communication studies. Offering a provocative discussion of postprocess composition theories and pedagogies and postmodern rhetorics, as well as the first thorough consideration of Jim Corder's contributions, this work is certain to influence the course of future study and research.

[Jessica Gordon · Rating 3 out of 5]

As the title suggests, this books attempts to be a very scholarly work. After reading it, I still couldn't tell you all that much about the post-process movement. I consider that a fault of the book, but it is far more a fault of the "movement." If a movement can't really be defined, is it a movement?
