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 proper 606 $aHappenings (Art) 606 $aLanguage and culture 606 $aAcademic writing$xStudy and teaching$xSocial aspects 606 $aAcademic writing$xStudy and teaching$xPsychological aspects 606 $aEnglish language$xRhetoric$xStudy and teaching$xSocial aspects 606 $aEnglish language$xRhetoric$xStudy and teaching$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aHappenings (Art) 615 0$aLanguage and culture. 615 0$aAcademic writing$xStudy and teaching$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aAcademic writing$xStudy and teaching$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aEnglish language$xRhetoric$xStudy and teaching$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aEnglish language$xRhetoric$xStudy and teaching$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a808/.042/071 700 $aSirc$b Geoffrey Michael$01025499 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910213827703321 996 $aEnglish Composition As A Happening$92438476 997 $aUNINA
