- W75731965 abstract "For several years now, the same question has been popping up in my graduate courses: What do we mean by composition research? There's nothing surprising in this question; the course is about composition research. Students take it before they sign up for thesis hours to begin their own research projects. So it's entirely appropriate for them to wonder about the key terms in the title of the course. Perhaps like many of us, my students yearn for the assurance a succinct definition provides. But I've seldom been able to reassure them, except to say their question has been asked many times over. So, I began devoting part of the course precisely to this question. I assembled quite a few descriptions and definitions of composition research published over the last few decades, and, as a class, we discussed and wrote about them, trying to make sense out of it all. This essay emerged out of that assignment. It's my own attempt to make sense of this question. Selective and incomplete as my list was, it seemed to tell a story of struggles, strife, contesting definitions, and a generally felt anxiety about how to classify the research we do. I decided that the question was nothing if not rhetorical and that the interpretations and revisions it generated formed an agonistic pattern, with each new meaning consciously and sometimes unconsciously striving to overturn its predecessors.1 The agonistic impulse, I found, didn't always or necessarily translate as covert combat or overt collaboration. Both, it seemed, were at work with each succeeding effort to impose new authority and control over the way we think, talk, and write about our research, its meaning and its value." @default.
