The Lost Island of English Studies: Globalization, Market Logic, and the Rhetorical Work of Department Web Sites

Craig Stroupe

Abstract

The author identifies possibilities of a “lost island” rhetoric that situates English department Web sites--and the profession’s defining practices--in an ambivalent relationship to global capital via the online network. The article describes how three department sites variously employ this rhetoric to assert English studies’ own forms of intellectual productivity and cultural value in dialogue with the market logic that dominates the Web.
