Abstract
The art of writing--even under deluge by matriculating Creative Writing majors here at the formerly recognizable English Department of the branded Writing University--is hardly the phrase of the hour. With the advent and supercharged event of Artificial Syntax, the fate of writing is more like the new term of engagement. All together such trends of diminishment mark the properly dwarfing context for the circumscribed, woefully minor, and every day more belated lament these remarks are meant to archive. By precisely the contrast that has so thoroughly carried the day, the championed impact of activist politics upon pedagogic practice might claim creative disruption as its own byword: proverbial floodgates thrown open, the desanctified canon as quite intended casualty, with all the downstream ripple effects, wholly foreseen or not, in the thinned tributaries of the curriculum. Where productive disruption can begin to resemble no less than creativity under destruction. So be it, in full light of what once had been.
