College English, v69 n2 p127-133 Nov 2006
What should college English be? This author contends that college English should be the intersection of the various areas of discourse that shape thought and produce knowledge. It should be the study of the mixing and remixing of connections: those connections that move from popular culture to the university, from geography to politics, from literature to film, from theory to theory, from celebrity to noncelebrity, from city to classroom, from the Web to one's daily life, from writing to writing. College English should function as a "network" of connective spaces--literal, figurative, ideological, and technological--that are generated by various forms of new media that allow information, people, and places to establish a variety of relationships that did not previously exist.
