Mobility Work in Composition
Our world is no stranger to mobilities, ranging from molecular movement in ecological systems to quotidian economic transactions and social interactions to transnational voyages across continents.Thus, readers of the Community Literacy Journal (CLJ) are sure to be engaged by this eclectic addition to the current scholarship on mobilities work, with the construct of mobility emerging as a central theoretical idea that underpins the epistemological…

Writing Language
This paper argues that while college composition courses are commonly charged with remediating students by providing them with the literacy skills they lack, they may instead be redefined as providing the occasion for rewriting language and knowledge. By bringing to the fore the dependence of language and knowledge on the labor of writing, a pedagogy of recursion, mediation, and translation of knowledge through writing and revision counters neoli…
Beyond the Mother Tongue
Yasemin Yildiz's Beyond the Mother Tongue offers a usefully provocative take on a growing “movement” in language studies away from a monolingual framework for conceptualizing language, language relations, and language users and toward conceptions of multilingualism that do not simply offer pluralized versions of monolingualism—sets of discrete languages and their users. While the book focuses primarily on canonical and “minority” writers associat…

When composition students look to their teachers for vocational guidance, both groups should acknowledge that the contexts of such terms as career , mobility , and skills have radically changed. In particular, the economy now links the global with the local, and capitalism has shifted from the fordist model, dominant through much of the twentieth century, to a newer, “fast” model.
