Performing Discussion

Harriet Kramer Linkin

Abstract

This article argues that students still must be encouraged to participate in active, interpretive communities that build viable textual meanings in literature classes (and elsewhere). It questions how instructors in student-centered classrooms negotiate the balance between maintaining professorial authority and empowering students to test out interpretive arguments.
