Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2001 W. Ross Winterowd Award Best book in composition theory presented by JAC and the Association of Teachers of Advanced Composition In this book, Bruce Horner provides a cultural materialist critique of discourse on work in composition. Each chapter traces the ways in which one of the defining terms of composition—work, students, politics, academic, traditional, and writing—operates as a site for competing constructions of composition's identity.
