Overview
Winsor (English, Iowa State University) examines the way that texts, knowledge, and hierarchy generate and support one another in a for- profit corporation, focusing on how one engineering organization uses texts to create and maintain its knowledge and power structure. Drawing on five years of observations, she describes the creation of texts and the generation of knowledge from the perspective of managers, engineers, interns, and blue-collar workers.
