Writing Bodies: Somatic Mind in Composition Studies

Kristie S. Fleckenstein

Abstract

Discusses the somatic mind, a permeable materiality in which mind and body resolve into a single entity which is (re)formed by the constantly shifting boundaries of discursive and corporeal intertextualities. Addresses its importance in composition studies. Critiques the poststructuralist disregard of corporeality.
