Composition and the search for selfâawareness
Composition studies saw several cogent criticisms of expressivism in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Some scholars assume that those criticisms discredited expressivism in composition studies, ending the focus on assignments that ask students to write personal, supposedly introspective papers that were believed to lead to selfâawareness and selfâidentity. Even so, recent research suggests that the expressivist pedagogical orientation is still widely used in writing classes across the US. Joshua Hilst (2012) sought to rehabilitate expressivism by drawing on the work of philosopher Giles Deleuze, arguing that neoâexpressivism provides a palliative to those criticisms. In this regard, Hilstâs analysis follows the current trend of applying Deleuzeâs philosophy to a variety of fields. The present analysis therefore consists of two parts, both with pedagogical implications. First, it examines Deleuzeâs work and illustrates how his neoâexpressivism and views on writing are incongruent with the expressivism applied in composition studies. Second, it examines the psychological research on introspection and selfâ awareness that has demonstrated with considerable consistency the opacity of mental processes and the difficulty associated with gaining any sense of selfâawareness or selfâidentity
