Editorial Reviews

Review

"A vital contribution to an important, emerging field. Synthesizing as it does research in complexity theory and cognitive science that has long been lurking on the margins of composition studies, it is in effect the principal work in what will likely be termed hereafter 'studies in the ecology of composition.' In giving form and urgency to the controversies of self-organization, this book will spark much-needed dialogue among composition researchers, literary theorists, and cognitive scientists."—Joe Amato, author of Bookend: Anatomies of a Virtual Self

Product Description

This work discusses how a theory of composing situations as ecological systems may be applied in composition studies. It shows how research in cognitive science and complex systems can inform composition studies but also how composing situations can provide ground for research in cognitive science.
