Core; II. Margins; and, III.<br \/>\nVision. A disciplinary domain, according to Phelps, has these elements: &quot;a group<br \/>\nof inquirers, a characteristic attitude toward phenomena, the objects of inquiry<br \/>\nthemselves, the means of inquiry, its purposes, and scenic factors&quot; (2).<br \/>\nBecause written discourse is central to our work, compositionists themselves<br \/>\nbecome entangled with their research; teaching, after all, depends upon symbolic<br \/>\naction not only as an object of study, but as a kind of activity. Phelps<br \/>\nacknowledges the uses of &quot;performance&quot; to describe what happens when reading<br \/>\nwriting texts; she explains the tension between naturalistic views of language<br \/>\nview it as best left to its own developmental trajectories and, on the other<br \/>\nhand, school-directed approaches to literacy education that adopt &quot;skill&quot; as a<br \/>\nway to account for the &quot;indeterminate and fluctuating&quot; competencies that range<br \/>\nbetween experts and non-experts. She also points out that &quot;some of the<br \/>\nlinguistic, cognitive, and social knowledge needed to coordinate [reading and<br \/>\nwriting] activities must be studied consciously before it can become tacit in<br \/>\nuse&quot; (7). In discussing the margins or borders of composition studies with<br \/>\nother disciplines, Phelps calls for &quot;syntopical research&quot; (15). The core<br \/>\nof composition studies as she accounts for it here is oriented &quot;<i>to<\/i><br \/>\nsymbolic interaction and <i>from<\/i> development&quot; (14). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;My object is to push outward from the expanding conceptual core of the<br \/>\ndomain, defined in terms of symbolic action, to its margins, where composition<br \/>\nencounters other disciplines and recognizes its own limits&quot; (2).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;[Shoptalk] offers a vocabulary of distinctions among such concepts as<br \/>\ntechnique, skill, strategy, tactics, craft, art, know-how, and knowledge&quot; (8).\n<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Recent research has submitted this idea [production w\/o consideration of<br \/>\nreading or consumption] of writing to a critique and moves toward integrating<br \/>\nthe writer&#8217;s composing act into a more comprehensive notion of written discourse<br \/>\nas a complex social process by which discoursers co-construct meaning&quot; (3). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;That is to say, written discourse as symbolic action can only be understood<br \/>\necologically, in terms of its rich interactions among acts, meanings, and<br \/>\nreality, rather than by a reduction of its texture to ideal elements and rules&quot;<br \/>\n(4). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;event psychology&quot; (17), &quot;natural attitude&quot; (6), &quot;personal development&quot; (9),<br \/>\n&quot;keyed&quot; (Goffman) (13), &quot;literacy as a power to act in the world&quot; (10), &quot;a<br \/>\nnetwork of primary discourse acts&quot; (13)<\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt>Related sources:<\/dt>\n<dd>Burke, <i>Language as Symbolic Action<\/i>, UCalifornia Press, 1968.<\/dd>\n<dd>Vygotsky, <i>Thought and Language<\/i>.
