Description

Writing matters: it plays a key role in the circulation of ideas in society and has a direct impact on the development of democracy.

But only a few get to do the kind of writing that most influence this development. The Politics of Writing examines writing as a social practice.

The authors draw on critical linguistics, cultural studies and literacy studies, as they explore and analyse: * the social context in which writing is embedded * the processes and practices of writing * the purposes of writing * the reader-writer relationship * issues of writer identity. They challenge current notions of 'correctness' and argue for a more democratic pedagogy as part of the answer to the inequitable distribution of the right to write.
