Writing With, Through, and Beyond the Text An Ecology of Language

By Rebecca Luce-Kapler Copyright 2004

    Writing With, Through, and Beyond the Text: An Ecology of Language elaborates an understanding of writing, its influences on our interpretations of experience and identity, and its potential for enabling individuals to learn about and connect to the world beyond themselves. Rather than considering writing a process, the author describes it as a system, an ecology that engages the individual in a variety of socially constituted and interacting systems. The book examines the pedagogical and curricular implications of this approach to writing, considering what it means to write and teach writing in ways that understand and acknowledge the ecological character of writing. This is an illuminating text for a wide audience of faculty, professionals, and graduate students in English, writing, education, and women's studies/feminist theory.

    Contents: Preface. The Kitchen of My Imagination. A Coherence of Being. The Language Connection. The Subjunctive Cottage. In the Company of Writers. Writing Otherwise.
