The current conservative trend in composition is analyzed allegorically by Geoffrey Sirc in this book-length homage to Charles Deemer's 1967 article, in which the theories and practices of Happenings artists (multi-disciplinary performance pioneers) were used to invigorate college writing. Sirc takes up Deemer's inquiry, moving through the material and theoretical concerns of such pre- and post-Happenings influences as Duchamp and Pollock, situationists and punks, as well as many of the Happenings artists properHappenings (Art)Language and cultureAcademic writingStudy and teachingSocial aspectsAcademic writingStudy and teachingPsychological aspectsEnglish languageRhetoricStudy and teachingSocial aspectsEnglish languageRhetoricStudy and teachingPsychological aspectsHappenings (Art)Language and culture.Academic writingStudy and teachingSocial aspects.Academic writingStudy and teachingPsychological aspects.English languageRhetoricStudy and teachingSocial aspects.English languageRhetoricStudy and teachingPsychological aspects.808/.042/071Sirc Geoffrey Michael1025499MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910213827703321English Composition As A Happening2438476UNINA
