The Idea of Community in the Study of Writing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Harris, Joseph – College Composition and Communication, 1989
Examines problems in the use of the term "community," including: (1) vague descriptions of community, without rules or boundaries; (2) its foreignness to students, raising questions about why students should learn it; and (3) its tendency to polarize writing theorists into community and individual camps.
