| contents | Researching the Ephemeral. Allen, Julia M. Consciousness Raising Essays Females Feminism Higher Education Periodicals Primary Sources Rhetoric United States History Womens Studies Writing (Composition) Histories of rhetoric in composition studies have been determined largely by the politics of the discipline. Rhetoric tends to be thought of in a somewhat narrow sense, defined by the writing courses and programs of universities. The field has strengthened itself by researching the histories of rhetoric in the academy from classical time to the present. However, a question frequently asked by feminist historians when confronted by the standard histories is, "Well, yes, but what were women doing?" To answer this question, the researcher must go beyond the history of the academy (because women, for the most part, were not part of the institution until recently) and define rhetoric to include other types of writing not produced in academic institutions. Scholars must start seeing the history of rhetoric where they are not accustomed to seeing it: in the closets and attics and basements of their friends, colleagues, parents, and grandparents. Further, they must work on moving what they find there to archives where researchers will have access to them in the future. One feminist researcher found herself following an intriguing paper trail of feminist documents written by radical women in the early part of this century. Many of these documents were poorly bound and housed with little care on library shelves; others were found in private rooms. Sometimes it is difficult for the owner to part with them. Contains five references. (TB) |
