Abstract:

This essay offers a pluralized conception of local rhetorics. The local has traditionally been conceived as the backdrop or flat surface where rhetoric/discourse is situated, or at best as a contextual dimension of rhetorical situations. The history of usage of this term – evoking a fix and inert connotation that often indicates a bounded locality or site – has contributed to its neglect as a tool for rhetorical theory, while its actual use in rhetorical praxis has proliferated in conjunction to the turn to field and site-based methodologies and practices. By drawing on fieldwork about the rhe

Abstract:

Abstract In this study, we analyse the rhetorical strategies of legitimation used by professionals when their conduct is exposed as wrong. Focusing on banking as a professional field and the conduct of bankers during the 2007–8 global financial crisis we ask two questions: what rhetorical strategies did senior bankers use to justify their actions and defend the legitimacy of their profession in the face of widespread public disapproval of banking practices? How did bankers use their professional field to legitimize their behaviour? To answer these questions, we analyse the justificatory rhetor

The concept of decoding rhetoric is described, its object and subject are formulated. The cognitive-communicative foundations of rhetorical decoding are considered. The concep

Abstract:

Within the last decade, ethnographic fieldwork has become a prominent part of rhetorical scholarship. As a rhetorical method, it has grown out of ethographic methodology and performance studies and has a clear critical bend. This paper argues that rhetorical fieldwork might distinguish itself more clearly from other ethnographic methodology in two basic respects: One is the grounding of the method in the rhetorician as a competent participant who puts her phronesis, i.e. her practical skill and sense of judgement as a rhetorician, to work in a particular field and situation.

Abstract:

In this article, we undertake three critical tasks: First, we delineate major shifts in feminist rhetorical inquiry, thus describing a new and changed landscape of the field. Second, we argue that as feminist rhetorical practices have shifted, so have standards of excellence. To articulate excellence in feminist rhetorical studies, we draw attention to interconnections among three critical terms of engagement: critical imagination, strategic contemplation, and social circulation. Third, we propose an enhanced inquiry model for understanding, interpreting, and evaluating feminist rhetorical wor

Abstract:

This article proposes embodied and multimodal readings of student compositions from the Carlisle Indian Industrial School as a way to illuminate processes of assimilation and resistance. Drawing on Gerald Vizenor’s concept of survivance and the ways that the field of composition has taken up Vizenor’s work, I argue that the project remains incomplete if we confine our history of cultural rhetoric to resistant, individual, alphabetically literate voices as the sites of rhetorical sovereignty and rhetorics of survivance.

This article addresses the challenge philosophical realism poses to the field of rhetoric by exploring the possibility of symbolic communion with nonhuman entities. As a matter of framing, I invoke Timothy Morton’s concept of the hyperobject to better understand the complexities of communicating with and about sublime nonhuman objects such as black holes. I then delineate how the stylistic modality of the weird best exploits the chasm between autonomous thingness and human (re)presentation that is a primary source of consternation for rhetorical realism.

Did rhetoric naturally evolve from the inherent power and potential of language, or were specific political and cultural conditions instrumental in driving its development in classical Greece? This paper explores this question by adopting a historical approach to rhetoric and a rhetorical approach to history.

The triadic approach to be discussed assumes three correlative layers: the intellectual knowledge, function of the artistic content as the visual representational component, and aesthetics as modality. This study will include the analysis of a print advertisement that used an artwork as its content of vi

Abstract:

ABSTRACT This response article focuses on the goals for research stated and implied in the contributors' work, comparing them with the goals of earlier generations of scholars in the history of rhetoric. Through mentoring, scholars pass on both the strengths and limitations of the field, which are then “embodied” by the next generation. One impulse remains constant: to enrich the field by identifying new sites for rhetorical investigation.

Abstract:

The paper points out that the earliest theoretical concepts of communication originated from rhetorical teachings in ancient Greece and Rome, and then can be found in medieval Christian, patristic and scholastic exegesis. Speech and conversation, as rhetorical topics, were in the center of attention of Greek philosophers of the classical period, and later in Rome, and the doubt whether a good speaker speaks the truth or speaks well is still not only a rhetorical, but also a stimulating communication problem. The chroniclers of communication research notice that the intellectual-content directi

This manuscript opens new areas of exploration for the field of the rhetoric of health and medicine as the biomarker sampling for measures of stress, and resilience tie to critical rhetorical theories surrounding power and the body. The training manuals and protocols disseminated to the multi-site research team serve as rhetorical artifacts to examine questions of how the choices of biomarkers and the procedures employed to collect the samples needed to

Abstract:

Following Carolyn Miller’s (1984) definition of genre as social action, subsequent work in the field of rhetorical genre theory has focused on two aspects of her account. The first is the claim that “a genre is a rhetorical means for mediating private intention and social exigence” (Miller, 1984, p. 163). The site of this mediation is now referred to as the subject—a term that is imported from psychoanalysis and critical social theory. I am concerned that the theoretical freight carried by this term—with its claim to address the “big questions” of subjectivity—diverts us from our focus on “how

Difference has existed since the beginning of creation, and it is a universal law and human nature. People cannot agree on one word or one opinion. Each of us has his own point of view or opinion, which may coincide and agree with others, or may disagree with them, regardless of the validity of this opinion or not. Its validity

Abstract This study explores the rhetorical structure and linguistic features of research article abstracts in an applied discipline. Recently, many emerging applied disciplines have evolved to incorporate knowledge from a variety of disciplinary areas. Therefore, the writing style may vary within one discipline. While most studies have compared rhetorical variations between disciplines, few have examined sub-disciplinary variations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the extent to which variations exist among research article abstracts in three sub-fields of one applied discipline: m

Abstract:

The field of the communication sciences is a hybrid field with various influences that can be observed in the research methods that are used: the quantitative-scientific and qualitative-interpretive methods. Rhetorical criticism as a qualitative research in the field of communication calls for its own evaluation standards. Our aim is to clarify, through a meta-analysis, the evaluation criteria proposed by different authors and the standards, after which an essay of the rhetorical criticism can be appreciated. We claim that a work of the rhetorical criticism is not just an exercise of creativit

Abstract:

Sally Miller Gearhart’s 1979 remark that “any intent to persuade is an act of violence” based in “conversion/conquest” argumentation2, led many feminists, in the eighties and nineties, to describe more cooperative alternative models of academic argument. However, their critiques and suggestions had little field impact, largely due to negative reactions in relevant journals. The polarized reactions, typical of what Deborah Tannen calls our “Argument Culture,” resulted in dismissive and condemnatory rhetoric, and fruitful ideas were lost. This essay suggests that an alternate multivalent or “fuz

A widespread assumption in the contrastive rhetoric field is the linearity/circularity dichotomy which suggests that eastern countries writing are characterized by indirection. This study examines the rhetorical preferences of Persian writing. A total of 320 essays taken from forty sophomore students studying English translation were analyzed. They were supposed to write an essay for eight weeks in different genres. To determine Persian writing style models by Chesterman, (1998) and Monroy and Scheu (1997) are used.

Educational animations engage the learners of all ages and make the learning experience enjoyable in many areas such as physics, chemistry, biology and social sciences. Thanks to the possibilities of animation, many concepts that might be difficult to learn with static images can be described very attractively and catchy.

Reviewer Frederik Appel Olsen takes issue with the approach we present in The Virtues of Green Marketing: A Constructive Take on Corporate Rhetoric (Palgrave Macmillan). In this response, we point out three aspects where Appel Olsen paints a misleading picture of our book. They concern a) the role of history in contemporary thinking, b) the role of Aristotle in our argumentation, and c) the legitimate place of rhetorical criticism. Thus, our response treats fundamental questions for the field of rhetoric.
