Eds. Gail E. Hawisher and Cynthia L. Selfe.  Urbana, Ill.: NCTE, 1999. 89-114.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Spooner and Yancey perform a collagist convergence in &quot;Petals on a Wet Black<br \/>\nBough.&quot; They are chiefly concerned with the new essayism proliferated in the<br \/>\nassociational cut\/paste practices of writing the screen. They experiment with<br \/>\ncollaborative personae (hence the fused author-figure). The conventions of<br \/>\nacademic exposition, normative conceptions of coherence, and the rise of<br \/>\nassociative intelligence in the midst of hypertext are chief among their<br \/>\nconcerns. Ultimately, they ask when and how teachers will be prepared to admit<br \/>\nnew\/net essayism into the schoolroom and, as well, how assessment will keep<br \/>\npace.<\/p>\n<p><i>Vielstimmig<\/i> (German for many voiced) mentions the Emersonian<br \/>\nself-reliant spirit that infuses much American education. <\/p>\n<p>Three maxims: Assessment has to fit pedagogy (110). Pedagogy has to fit<br \/>\ntextuality (110). Can changes in pedagogy <i>not<\/i> be far behind? (111): &quot;If<br \/>\nwhat we&#8217;re going to value is the essay proper&#8211;whether it&#8217;s Bartholomae&#8217;s or<br \/>\nElbow&#8217;s&#8211;then by all means, let&#8217;s turn the Internet off&quot; (110). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;The new essay seems to have its own logic: intuitive, associative, emergent,<br \/>\ndialogic, multiple&#8211;one grounded in working together and in re\/presenting that<br \/>\nworking together&quot; (90).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;This is not an argument against The Essay or against &#8216;print classic&#8217; or<br \/>\nconventional logic. It is an argument toward another kind of essay: a text that<br \/>\naccommodates narrative and exposition and pattern, all three&quot; (91). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;Speak for yourself, pal&quot; (92). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;Ironically, both Spellmeyer&#8217;s and Prince&#8217;s purpose in reminding us of the<br \/>\nessay&#8217;s history is to restore it to its prior position: as a place for<br \/>\nexploration not governed by the scholastic&quot; (93).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;In some critiques of &#8216;experimental&#8217; academic works (like this one?), there&#8217;s<br \/>\na fundamental question about what counts as coherence, cohesion, and other<br \/>\ninterpretive conventions&quot; (99). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;It is disappointing, though, how much influence is moving the other<br \/>\ndirection: that is, too many <i>online<\/i> essays merely reproduce <i>offline<\/i><br \/>\ntextual conventions&quot; (102). ^Solid ties to scholastic-reductive blogging<br \/>\nventures.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Associational thinking may be another, more concrete and synthesizing,<br \/>\nintelligence altogether&quot; (108). <\/p>\n<p>Terms: essay as a confinement (92), &quot;rhetoricity of coherence&quot; (101),<br \/>\nTurkle&#8217;s &quot;aesthetics of simulation&quot; (105), Venn diagram (to establish difference<br \/>\n<i>and<\/i> relationship) (108)<\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt>Related Sources<\/dt>\n<dd>Kirsch, Gesa. &quot;Multi-Vocal Texts and Interpretive Responsibility.&quot; <i><br \/>\n  College English<\/i> 59 (1997): 191-201.<\/dd>\n<dd>Phelps, Louise Wetherbee. &quot;Dialectics of Coherence.&quot; <i>College English<\/i><br \/>\n  47 (1985): 12-30.<\/dd>\n<dd>Wittig, Rob. <i>Invisible Rendezvous: Connection and Collaboration in the<br \/>\n  New Landscape of Electronic Writing<\/i>.
