McComiskey, Bruce. "Introduction." English Studies: An Introduction to the
\nDiscipline(s)<\/i>. Ed. Bruce McComiskey. Refiguring English Studies Ser. Urbana,
\nIL: NCTE, 2006. 1-66.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

McComiskey’s introduction includes a section called "The Problem of
\nSpecialization," in which he explains Stephen North’s three responses to
\nspecialization before proposing his own solution: integration. North divided the
\nresponses into secession (breaking apart), corporate compromise (one subfield
\ntakes on a managerial imperative), and fusion (periods of study are stabilized,
\nbut various perspectives and methods apply from across the subfields). <\/p>\n

Re<\/i>integration–restoring wholeness where secession has occurred–is
\nextremely challenging, McComiskey notes, perhaps to the point of not being
\npossible (46). He cites the implicit valuing of literature in Ohmann’s
\nEnglish in America<\/a><\/i>
\n(1976) and points out that subtle arguments for English studies’ return to the
\nglories literary study persist. <\/p>\n

"No single methodology from linguistics or discourse analysis or creative
\nwriting or rhetoric or composition or literature or literary criticism or
\ncritical theory or cultural studies or English Education–no single methodology
\n(or set of specialized methodologies) can solve a complex social problem" (32).
\nThis acknowledgement of methodological pluralism echoes North’s premise in
\nThe Making of Knowledge<\/i>. <\/p>\n

"A truly democratic English department (one that exercises the power of each
\nof its composite disciplines equally in the service of a larger goal) can, quite
\nsimply, never evolve out of a discipline that defines its scope and function
\npurely in terms of literature" (34b).<\/p>\n

"Secession, in other words, may alleviate some immediate problems relating to
\ncurriculum and budget, but it does not solve these problems in the long run;
\ngiven time, they will recur, along with the divisiveness that comes with
\nconstant specialization" (36).<\/p>\n

Is generalization still possible? Or is specialization a given? Constant
\nspecialization is, no doubt, a formidable force (or set of ongoing pressures and
\nprescripts), but what can be done to revalue the generalist? And is a
\ngeneralist’s wide-angle forays of interest and engagement crucial to an
\nintegrationist approach to the super-discipline. In other words, to what
\ndegree must we not only understand each other but even forge collegial alliances
\n(cooperatives) across specializations?<\/p>\n

"Corporate compromise usually involves one discipline in English studies
\ntaking managerial responsibility for the others, ideally (but certainly not
\nalways) in a democratic fashion" (37b).<\/p>\n

"I propose that the goal of this integrated English studies should be the
\nanalysis, critique, and production of discourse in social context" (43a).<\/p>\n

"Social context" is a sticking phrase in McComiskey’s basic proposal.
\nHe explains the choice with Ogden and Richards, Malinowski, and Dewey, but
\nLatour’s Reassembling<\/i> lifts the lid on this phrase. I also want to
\nquestion the emphasis on discourse relative to the non-discursive (i.e.,
\nvisual), and also think about the terms included in the list: analysis,
\ncritique, and production. The first two tip toward a critical or
\ninterpretive rhetoric (hermeneutics), while only the third term is oriented
\ntoward production (heuretics) (look at Arabella Lyon for this). <\/p>\n

Terms: English Studies, disciplinarity, integration, specialization, Burke,
\nidentification, consubstantiation, history, definition, raft, secession,
\ncorporate compromise, fusion, literacy<\/p>\n
