PURTOPOI@PURCCVM -- Purdue Rhetoric, Professional Writing, and
Language Discussion Group
The PURTOPOI list is a scholarly forum for the discussion of current
issues or "topoi" in the fields of rhetoric and composition,
professional writing, and language research. Previous topics taken
up by the group have included:
- the relationship between social construction and ethnographic
research in composition.
- the disciplinary relationships between rhetoric, literary
criticism, and linguistics.
- the debate between agonistic and rogerian approaches to
composition.
- the impact of cultural studies on composition pedagogy and
research.
- and the antagonism between post-structuralist and cognitivist
approaches to historical, theoretical, and empirical research
methods.
Members are encouraged to submit works in progress, reviews of
recent publications, reports or announcements of conferences,
bibliographies, or questions for group discussion.
Subscription to the list is by listowners. Messages sent to the list
are archived and may be retrieved by list members. Also, a filelist
containing help files, bibliographies, and papers of interest is
available to list members.
