In the Section "The New English Studies," Benedict Anderson suggests that each seperate discipline in English studies should reimagine itself as a member of a whole community, to open up the communication process. He further goes on to state that members associated with each discipline should be united to stand for analysis, critique, and production of discourse in social context.
In "Rhetoric of Motives," Kenneth burke uses the idea of identification to unite two or more disciplines as common interests despite differing qualities.
I aggree with Anderson in that it shouldn't matter what discipline you are associated with, you need to find a common principle to unite with, and that would end the lack of communication and add common goals.
