Speaker 5: Daniel Lawson
Daniel Lawson argues in "The Rhetorical Construction of Emotion in Writing Center Studies" that for most of the Writing Lab Newsletter’s publication history, its writers have drawn on variations of a millenia-old metaphor to describe emotion: the Black Horse--reason’s opposite and antagonistic number. And though some strands of the Black Horse metaphor linger, over time a newer sense of emotion has begun to emerge in the literature: emotion as an alternative way of knowing.
