Social Construction of Knowledge

For composition theorists, poststructuralism imposes itself here. The construction of knowledge is a “construct,” a mental construction invented during social interaction. Knowledge does not pre-exist its discursive-situated construction, and all knowledge is in fact discursive. The co-construction of knowledge in university settings is thus seen as entirely discursive, a language-mediated act.
