Techne, from Neoclassicism to Postmodernism

Understanding Writing as a Useful, Teachable Art

About this book

Techne, from Neoclassicism to Postmodernism offers a deconstructive reading of the debates that have surrounded the term techne in rhetoric and composition, explaining how we can affirm its value as a theory and pedagogy of writing without denying the legitimacy of the postmodern critiques that have been leveled against it.
