Building Intradisciplinarity in English Studies through Textual Hybridity and Performance

Stephen Sutherland

Abstract

To build on the legacy of reader-response theory, English studies needs to destabilize the foundational binary separation of reading and writing by creating stronger intradisciplinary relations between composition and literary studies. English studies professors can do so by foregrounding the hybridity and performativity of the texts they teach and study.
