As Kathleen Blake Yancey, Stephen J. McElroy, and their contributors detail, assemblage theory explains disparate composing practices-from postcard production in the early twentieth century to database-informed composing in the twenty-first, from museum-inspired collecting to creative repetitions of authentic Native American practices. And as a key concept, assemblage has been field tested in several settings, including first year composition, upper-level writing courses, and graduate courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssembling Composition speaks particularly to four dimensions of assemblage: (1) ways that assemblage helps us theorize current digital and material composing practices; (2) ways that employing assemblage as a key term and practice in the teaching of writing can assist both teachers and students; (3) ways that assemblage has historically contributed to everyday composing; and (4) ways that we can interrogate assemblage as an ethical practice. Collectively, these chapters complicate and enrich our understandings of composing, our sense of what constitutes a text, and our expectation of the potential effects of texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"National Council of Teachers of English (Ncte","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47574222241943,"sku":"9780814101988","price":3729.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780814101988.webp?v=1774894904","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/assembling-composition-9780814101988","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
