Delving into pedagogy, research, and institutional work, he calls for an ambitious reimagining of composition as a discipline opposed to capitalism's excesses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on an array of philosophers, political theorists, and activists, Daniel outlines an anti-capitalist approach informed by the common, a concept theorized by Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval as a solidaristic response to capitalism rooted in inventive political action. Rather than relying upon claims of membership or ownership, the common supports radical, collective acts of remaking that comprehensively reject capitalist logics. Applying this approach to collaborative writing, student debt, working culture, and digital writing, Daniel demonstrates how the writing classroom may be oriented toward capitalist harms and prepare students to critique and resist them. He likewise employs the common to theorize how anti-capitalist interventions beyond the classroom could challenge institutional privatization and oppose the adjunctification of the professoriate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Arguing that composition scholars have long neglected marketization and corporate power, \u003ci\u003eToward an Anti-Capitalist Composition\u003c\/i\u003e extends a case for adopting a resolute anti-capitalist stance in the field and for remaking the university as a site of common work.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Rushing Daniel\u003c\/b\u003e is associate teaching professor at the University of Washington-Seattle.
