From the article: "We believe that if culture is composition and that composition is then a recursive, interconnected system, two distinct possibilities arise. First, the heuristics that students use to interpret and critique cultural texts can also be extended to locate and guide students in the composing process. The heuristic can and should be seen as both an interpretive and a constructive model. Second, because culture is composition, our students can and should be encouraged to construct cultural genres beyond just those texts traditionally thought of as appropriate for students to compose in a composition course. Composition can include other types of cultural arrangements such as those found in popular media or in a variety of academic disciplines."
