Discourse in the Composition Classroom: Agency, Personal Narrative, and the Politics of Disclosure

Gina L. DeBlase

Abstract

Discusses how social identity plays a significant role in defining the nature of classroom interaction. Describes how unresolved conflict emerged when the development of authentic student voice in narrative autobiography was the primary and perhaps only objective. Presents an example of the ways in which asymmetrical power relations influence how discourse works in the expressionist composition classroom.
