Making Writing Matter: Using "The Personal" to Recover[y] an Essential[ist] Tension in Academic Discourse

Jane E. Hindman

Abstract

Considers how constructing a hopeful professional discourse requires substantial revision of current professional discursive practices. Notes that the search for local knowledge and a shared, more hopeful discourse has rekindled interest in the rhetorical as well as material authority of ideologies, in various forms of writing collected under the overdetermined rubric "the personal."
