Disciplinarity, Divorce, and the Displacement of Labor Issues: Rereading Histories of Composition and Literature

Melissa Ianetta

Abstract

This essay argues that a trend in histories of literary and writing studies is to bifurcate the origins of the fields and so engage in those modernist narrative fallacies describedby Jean-François Lyotard. Such works limit our understanding of past practices and the longstanding connections between disciplinarity and labor.
