What defines English Studies? Even disciplinary practitioners struggle to answer this seemingly simple question. As Gerald Graff notes, “the quest for a precise definition of the discipline of English has been a persistent one since the founding of English Studies as an academic subject about a century ago.” Recently, however, this search for identity has taken on more urgency. “In many ways it seems that the quest for identity,” writes Sidney Dobrin, “has become the central mission of contemporary English departments.” While there have been numerous disciplinary histories of the major sub-disciplines of English Studies (linguistics, literature, composition, and creative writing), there is currently no history of the überdiscipline of English Studies.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a <italic>What We Talk About When We Talk About English Studies</italic> attempts to shed some light on this question of disciplinary identity by providing a genetic history of the institutionalization of English Studies in the American college/university. As a genetic history, <italic>What We Talk About</italic> acknowledges diversity within the population being studied and uncertainty regarding genetic inheritance. <italic>What We Talk About</italic> does not provide a census, but focuses on certain institutions, scholars, and administrators at the expense of others in the belief that they represent the dominant genes of the institutionalization of English Studies.
520 $a In tracing the rise and institutionalization of English Studies, <italic> What We Talk About</italic> identifies the ideals underlying the adoption of English Studies as the four C's—culture, citizenship, correctness, and capitalism. Two of theses ideals, culture and citizenship, represent the ideals of the classical college, while the other two—correctness and capitalism—represent ideals more closely associated with the modern university. While the history of what we talk about when we talk about English Studies may not provide the conceptual coherence necessary to unify the discipline, it can help us to understand what we have in common, how we came to be organized the way we are, and, perhaps, help us to understand where English Studies might fit in the new corporate university.
