Abstract

This chapter introduces revision as a paradoxical practice that both alters and preserves prior versions of texts. This paradox becomes the basis for exploring revision in two different but related contexts: as strategy for generating new narrative material featuring the familiar icons and tropes of the superhero genre; and as the process by which teachers guide student writers to amend, cut, rearrange, and reshape their own words as they work towards completion of a text.
