Practical Wisdom and the Geography of Knowledge in Composition.
Phelps, Louise Wetherbee
College English, v53 n8 p863-85 Dec 1991

Suggests that compositionists' understanding of the tensions and ties between theory and practice can be framed fruitfully in terms of the rhetorical demands of each community, reflecting their different commitments.
