Author: Adam Koehler File Type: pdf In an era of blurred generic boundaries, multimedia storytelling, and open-source culture, creative writing scholars stand poised to consider the role that technology-and the creative writers playful engagement with technology-has occupied in the evolution of its theory and practice*. Composition, Creative Writing Studies and the Digital Humanities* is the first book to bring these three fields together to open up new opportunities and directions for creative writing studies. Placing the rise of Creative Writing Studies alongside the rise of the digital humanities in CompositionRhetoric, Adam Koehler shows that the use of new media and its attendant re-evaluation of fundamental assumptions in the field stands to guide Creative Writing Studies into a new era. Covering current developments in composition and the digital humanities, this book re-examines established assumptions about process, genre, authorityauthorship and pedagogical practice in the creative writing classroom. **Review Composition, Creative Writing and the Digital Humanities is essential reading for any writer, writing teacher or writing scholar who recognizes that writing in the 21st century is inextricably bound to technology. By establishing, via the Digital Humanities, a point of contact, between creative writing and composition studies as they converge and diverge, Adam Koehler recognizes and then maps the shared space between these two fields of writing studies, presciently locating digital modality in this intersection and describing its potential for not only illuminating and re-weaving these strands of scholarship together into something new, but also for creating both new texts and new knowledge. A visionary, landscape-altering book, I will be recommending and teaching from it for a long time to come. -- Stephanie Vanderslice, Professor at University of Central Arkansas, USA About the Author Adam Koehler is Associate Professor of English at Manhattan College, USA.
