In times of intercultural tensions and conflicts, sincerity
matters. Traditionally, sincerity concerns a performance of
authenticity and truth, a performance that in intercultural
situations is easily misunderstood. Sincerity plays a major role in
law, the arts--literature, but especially the visual and performing
arts--and religion. Sincerity enters the English language in the
sixteenth century, when theatre emerged as the dominant idiom of
secular representation, during a time of major religious changes.
The present historical moment has much in common with that era;
with its religious and cultural conflicts and major transformations
in representational idioms and media. "The Rhetoric of Sincerity"
is concerned with the ways in which the performance of sincerity is
culturally specific and is enacted in different media and
disciplines. The book focuses on the theatricality of sincerity,
its bodily, linguistic, and social performances, and the success or
failure of such performances.
