Representing current theory and research in rhetoric, this volume
brings together scholarship from a variety of
orientations--theoretical, critical, historical, and pedagogical.
Some contributions cover work that has previously been silenced or
unrecognized, including Native American, African American, Latino,
and women's rhetorics. Others explore rhetoric's relationship to
performance and to the body, or to revising canons, stases, topoi,
and pisteis. Still others are reworking the rhetorical lexicon to
comprise contemporary theory. Among these diverse interests,
rhetoricians find common themes and share intellectual and
pedagogical enterprises that hold them together even as their
institutional situations keep them apart.
Topics discussed in this collection include:
*Rhetoric as figurality; comparative and contrastive rhetorics;
rhetoric and gender; and rhetorics of science and technology;
*Rhetoric and reconceptions of the public sphere; rhetoric and
public memory; and rhetorics of globalization and social change,
including issues of race, ethnicity, and nationalism;
*Rhetoric's institutionalized place in the academy, in relation to
other humanities and to the interpretive social sciences; and
*The place of rhetoric in the formation of departments and the
development of pedagogy
With its origins in the 2000 Rhetoric Society of America (RSA)
conference, this volume represents the range and vitality of
current scholarship in rhetoric. The conversations contained herein
indicate that professing rhetoric is, at the turn of the
millennium, an intellectual activity that engages with and helps
formulate the most important public and scholarly questions of
today. As such, it will be engaging reading for scholars and
students, and is certain to provoke further thought, discussion,
and exploration.
