Rhetorical Gardening: Greening Composition
Rhetorical Gardening: Greening Composition A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School Of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature of the College of Arts and Sciences by Carla Sarr June 2017 Master of Science in Teaching and Secondary Education, The New School Committee Chair: Laura R. Micciche Abstract Rhetorical Gardening: Greening Composition argues that the rhetorical understanding of landscapes offers a material site and a metaphor by which to broaden our understanding of rhetoric and composition, as well as increasing the rhetorical archive and opportunities for scholarship. An emphasis on material place in composition is of particular value as sustainability issues are among the toughest challenges college students will face in the years to come. Reading landscapes is an interpretive act central to meaningful social action. The dissertation argues that existing work in rhetorical theory and composition pedagogy has set the stage for an ecological turn in composition. Linking ecocomposition, sustainability, cultural geography, and literacy pedagogies, I trace the origins of my belief that the next manifestation of composition pedagogy is material, embodied, place-based, and firmly planted in the literal issues resulting from climate change. I draw upon historical gardens, landscapes composed by the homeless, community, commercial, and guerilla gardens to demonstrate the rhetorical capacity of landscapes in detail. Building from the argument that gardens can perform a rhetorical function, I spotlight gardeners who seek to move the readers of their texts to social action. Finally, I explore how the study of place can contribute to the pedagogy of composition. -

Rehtinking Resistance: Race, Gender, and Place in the Fictive and Real Geographies of the American West
REHTINKING RESISTANCE: RACE, GENDER, AND PLACE IN THE FICTIVE AND REAL GEOGRAPHIES OF THE AMERICAN WEST by TRACEY DANIELS LERBERG DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington May 2016 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Stacy Alaimo, Supervising Professor Neill Matheson Christopher Morris Kenneth Roemer Cedrick May, Texas Christian University Abstract Rethinking Resistance: Race, Gender, and Place in the Fictive and Real Geographies of the American West by Tracey Daniels Lerberg, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2016 Supervising Professor: Stacy Alaimo This project traces the history of the American West and its inhabitants through its literary, cinematic and cultural landscape, exploring the importance of public and private narratives of resistance, in their many iterations, to the perceived singular trajectory of white masculine progress in the American west. The project takes up the calls by feminist and minority scholars to broaden the literary history of the American West and to unsettle the narrative of conquest that has been taken up to enact a particular kind of imaginary perversely sustained across time and place. That the western heroic vision resonates today is perhaps no significant revelation; however, what is surprising is that their forward echoes pulsate in myriad directions, cascading over the stories of alternative voices, that seem always on the verge of slipping away from our collective memories, of ii being conquered again and again, of vanishing. But a considerable amount of recovery work in the past few decades has been aimed at revising the ritualized absences in the North American West to show that women, Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans and other others were never absent from this particular (his)story. -

Breaking New Ground in Ecocomposition: an Introduction Christian R
1643 SUNY Ecocomposition Ch 01 1/22/01 12:54 AM Page 1 Breaking New Ground in Ecocomposition: An Introduction Christian R. Weisser University of Hawaii (Hilo) Hilo, Hawaii Sidney I. Dobrin University of Florida Gainesville, Florida All thinking worthy of the name must now be ecological. —Lewis Mumford, The Myth of the Machine Recently, scholarship, research, and knowledge-making in composition studies began to redefine the discipline’s boundaries in order to provide more contextual, holistic, and useful ways of examining the world of dis- course. At the same time, one of the slowly developing, though crucial, trends in American universities has been toward the integration of ecolog- ical and environmental studies in academic disciplines across the spec- trum. While theoretical and pedagogical studies in disciplines throughout academia have made significant inroads toward linking knowledge be- tween the sciences and humanities, composition and rhetoric’s inclusion of the “hard sciences” in its interdisciplinary agenda has been limited for the most part to cognitive psychology. True, some of the most influential and important works in composition have drawn upon works in history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, literary criticism, and other areas of study within the humanities, but only recently have compositionists begun to significantly inquire into scientific scholarship to inform work in their own discipline. Ecocomposition: Theoretical and Pedagogical Ap- proaches seeks to explore the connections between interdisciplinary in- quiries of composition research and ecological studies and forwards the potential for theoretical and pedagogical work in ecocomposition. That is, this collection examines composition studies through an ecological lens to bring to the classroom, to scholarship, and to larger public audiences a critical position through which to engage the world.
