The current conservative trend in composition is analyzed allegorically by Geoffrey Sirc in this book-length homage to Charles Deemers 1967 article  in which the theories and practices of Happenings artists (multi-disciplinary performance pioneers) were used to invigorate college writing. Sirc takes up Deemers inquiry  moving through the material and theoretical concerns of such pre- and post-Happenings influences as Duchamp and Pollock  situationists and punks  as well as many of the Happenings artists proper.  With this book  already a cult classic  began a neo-avant-garde for composition studies.  Winner of the Ross W. Winterowd Award for most outstanding book in composition theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67960823185461,"sku":"ByrdShop_0874214351","price":59.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780874214352.jpg?v=1794497219","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/english-composition-as-a-happening-9780874214352","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
