Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) New Perspectives on Academic Writing
Book SynopsisBernd Herzogenrath is Professor of American Studies at the University of Frankfurt, Germany.Trade ReviewCan academic writing ‘unwrite itself’? Redirect itself toward infusing ‘the Academy’ with forms of writing that aim to disrupt its usual forms of critique and communicative accessibility? This collection introduces a welter of unfamiliar forces into the wording of thought, strategies that inspire to seed a 'bomb' of differences. * jan jagodzinski, Professor of Visual Art and Media Education, University of Alberta, Canada *This book aims to put the heat back in academic writing and unfreeze it from the rigour mortis it has suffered from for years. It is heart-warming to add this to my collection of books that will help free us from the tyrannies of dry, stale and crusty academic writing. * Mark Ingham, Reader in Critical and Nomadic Pedagogies, National Teaching Fellow and UAL Senior Teaching Scholar, University of the Arts London, UK *Table of ContentsIntroduction: The Thing That Wouldn’t Die, Bernd Herzogenrath (University of Frankfurt, Germany) 1.
