"We are all authors of culture. Authoring Culture: Foundations of Twenty-First Century Writing is a resource for enriching your authoring of culture, for extending your ability to communicate with agency , a term that derives from the Latin verb agere, which translates as “to do” or “to take action.” Fields and professions ranging from psychology, economics, and law to theology and philosophy, among others, have developed concepts of agency that differ in detail but share a focus on action, either in service to someone else or, more commonly, on one’s own behalf.""You can enact authority in nearly any writing situation. Authoring Culture: Foundations of Twenty-First Century Writing explores a set of concepts you can draw upon to analyze a wide range of rhetorical contexts, whether you are preparing to work on a writing assignment for class, completing a writing task at work, or writing out of personal interest or for social occasions."
