| Summary |
"For Laura Micciche, emotion is neither the enemy of reason nor an irrational response to actions and ideas. Rather, she argues that emotion is integral to research, discussion, analysis, and argument - that is, to the essential fabric of rhetoric and composition." "Drawing upon current research in emotion studies, performance studies, and feminist rhetorical studies, Micciche argues that a shift in our thinking about emotion leads to productive possibilities for teaching and learning. Rather than repressing and denying emotionality, Micciche demands that we acknowledge its constitutive role in our professional and pedagogical lives as well as in our evolving understandings of textual and extralinguistic meanings."--BOOK JACKET |
