Summary According to Deborah Tannen, agonism refers to ritualized opposition, a situation when a party in a debate wins rather than an argument that comes up when two parties disagree. She claims that the academic world is very agonistic. We tend to think that intellectual inquiry is a metamorphic battle and to show our skills is to criticize, find fault and attack and foster this in students. Students are often taught to criticize and find the weakest point from one’s work to support their view while ignoring the strength and other important facts of the paper that would support other’s viewpoint.
Deborah Tannen, a professor of linguistics at Georgetown University, is a popular author in the United States of America. Mostly of her focus in her articles and books is on the expression of interpersonal relationships in contentious interaction. Tannen became well known after her book You Just Don’t Understand: Women and Men in Conversation was published. However, this was not her only claim to fame. Along with this book, she also wrote many other essays and articles including the popular article “Marked Women, Unmarked Men.”
In the essay “Agonism in the Academy” by Deborah Tannen, readers get the feeling that the author is writing to students and educators. This led to Tannen’s essay getting published in The Chronicle of Higher Education. As readers, we know that students and educators are who the author is writing to because Deborah Tannen’s main argument is to explain that there are better ways of learning. And one way she plans to solve agnostic learning, or to improve it, is to have students and educators explore new ways of learning like having an open discussion because a debate will just lead to another argument and won’t solve anything.
