| Abstract | The "Wooster Review," a national literary magazine staffed by undergraduates, began in 1983 as an experiment in student publishing. A naturally formed interpretive community emerged as the "Review" developed: as students read, they noticed weaknesses or thought of other options the writer could have chosen; as they discussed, they began to argue their different readings and reveal widely different tastes and interpretations. Conscious of their own struggles with writing poetry and fiction, the student-editors, without direction or intervention, developed an interpretive community very much like that outlined by Stanley Fish in "Is There a Text in This Class?" The editorial decision-making process followed a pattern: (1) opening evaluations (a survey of opinions), (2) a move toward consensus, (3) reevaluation, and (4) decision (reached by the group, either by consensus or by vote). What was at stake in the decision-making process was not only an evaluation of a manuscript, but also the group's own sense of authority. The conflict between differing interpretations caused students to reconsider, to reevaluate their own readings, and introduced a sense of tentativeness into the acts of reading and interpreting on an individual level and in the group's sense of itself as a collective editor. (A partial transcript from a "Wooster Review" meeting is included.) (AEW) |
