- W2563913306 abstract "he trick to writing history, Sharon Crowley once remarked, deciding which story to tell ( Review 245). As the field of composition ages, scholars are indeed deciding on and producing its histories, the best of which critically examine conditions that produce the institutional practices of composition instruction in American universities. Historians of composition have thus interrogated underpinnings of pedagogical practices (Berlin, Kitzhaber), the dire working conditions writing instructors endure (Susan Miller, Connors), and the very economic and political base on which the field rests-the first-year writing requirement (Crowley, Composition). In this essay I will take up one component of our history that is tightly bound with the political and institutional effects of composition, an everpresent artifact that has indeed informed and shaped prevailing assumptions about writing pedagogy: the composition handbook. Informed by Michel Foucault's work on the complex ways power shapes and is shaped by institutional conditions, I will argue that composition handbooks serve two important institutional purposes: (1) they function as a site for the articulation of what is deemed important subject matter for composition classrooms-that is, handbooks write the discipline; and (2)they effectively shape teacher and student subjectivities-that is, they discipline the writer. I will demonstrate the ways in which these institutional purposes were secured and perpetuated by providing a critical history of a particular book: the Harbrace College Handbook." @default.
