On Authority in the Study of Writing.
Mortensen, Peter; Kirsch, Gesa E.
College Composition and Communication, v44 n4 p556-72 Dec 1993
Questions the death of the author and of authority and, by implication, the theoretical erasure of the authority that constitutes the student writers that teachers face in the classroom everyday. Proposes a dialogic model of authority that infuses authority with an "ethic of care." (HB)
