요약 | This dissertation is situated at the nexus of composition pedagogy, technical/professional communication, and sociocultural theories of literacy. An ethnographic study of workers who are paid to write on behalf of their employers, it exposes contradictions in theories of what a writer is and does. While composition is often taught as a means of personal expression or civic participation, workplace writing frequently demands an erasure of writerly identity, resulting in a situation where writing is valued while writers are not. Such valuations of writing over writer have been critiqued as symptomatic of exploitative economies of literacy. This dissertation moves beyond frameworks rooted in ownership and authorship to instead examine the multiplicitous tactics that unattributed professional writers deploy to assert agency-even without authorial status. Based on qualitative data collected across three distinct workplace sites, including writers in brick-and-mortar workplace settings, writers-for-hire on Twitter, and code-writers, this dissertation finds: (1) that professional writers' tactics vary depending on their economic vulnerability in a given context, including taking advantage of the anonymity of unattributed writing as a kind of professional safety net (writing to hide) |
