- W62404734 abstract "This dissertation charts the theoretical, pedagogical, and rhetorical possibilities of the in order to argue for writing as a central pursuit within the university. Although the term essay has often functioned as a placeholder for many types of writing and has been used to promote narrow, sometimes formulaic, writing, I articulate the ways that the illustrates thinking on the page and fosters genuine activity. This study thereby enriches theoretical scholarship on the essay, offers pedagogies that support critical essay-writing, and contends that we imagine both students and scholars as connected through the shared intellectual arena the creates. I coin the term impetus - an epistemological drive toward critical and reflexive knowledge via thinking in and through writing - to define the essay's guiding principle. The theory of the I construct spans several types of materials, all of which have been under-theorized within scholarship on the in composition studies: theories of essayistic prose authored by Theodor Adorno and M.M. Bakhtin; new critical textbooks by Cleanth Brooks and Robert Penn Warren; the hybrid prose essays of Joan Didion and Gloria Anzaldua; the photographic After the Last Sky co-authored by Edward Said and Jean Mohr; and, finally, films by Chris Marker and Wong Kar-wai. The later chapters of the dissertation focus specifically on hybrid essays - essays which draw on multiple genres and discourses, formal structures, and media. I argue that hybrid essays offer a particularly fruitful understanding of the essay, its goals, and its possibilities. Since hybrid essays present a range of rhetorical strategies and styles of writing, they can assist students in strengthening their repertoires as both readers and writers capable of sustaining complex, dialogic, reflexive inquiries and projects. Reading and writing hybrid essays, I contend, aids students in developing greater generic, stylistic, and rhetorical awareness, strategies which they can then effectively deploy for their own diverse purposes. Finally, I argue that hybrid essays can serve as a productive heuristic for better confronting and understanding the literacy demands that complex, emerging new media forms demand." @default.
