Through a fusion of narrative and analysis, Language and Power on
the Rhetorical Stage examines how theater can enact critical
discourse analysis and how micro-instances of iniquitous language
use have been politically and historically reiterated to oppress
and deny equal rights to marginalized groups of people. Drawing
from Aristophanes' rhetorical plays as a template for rhetoric in
action, the author poses the stage as a rhetorical site whereby we
can observe, see, and feel 20th-century rhetorical theories of the
body. Using critical discourse analysis and Judith Butler's
theories of the performative body as a methodological and
analytical lens, the book explores how a handful of American plays
in the latter part of the 20th century-the works of Tony Kushner,
Suzan Lori-Parks, and John Cameron Mitchell, among others- use
rhetoric in order to perform and challenge marginalizing language
about groups that are not offered center stage in public and
political spheres. This innovative study initiates a conversation
long overdue between scholars in rhetorical and performance
studies; as such, it will be essential reading for academic
researchers and graduate students in the areas of rhetorical
studies, performance studies, theater studies, and critical
discourse analysis.
