While some scholars have said that there is no such thing as
culture and have urged to abandon the concept altogether, the
contributors to this volume overcome this impasse by understanding
cultures and their representations for what they ultimately are -
rhetorical constructs. These senior, international scholars explore
the complex relationships between culture and rhetoric arguing that
just as rhetoric is founded in culture, culture is founded in
rhetoric. This intersection constitutes the central theme of the
first part of the book, while the second is dedicated to the study
of figuration as a common ground of rhetoric and anthropology. The
book offers a compelling range of theoretical reflections,
historical vistas, and empirical investigations, which aim to show
how people talk themselves and others into particular modalities of
thought and action, and how rhetoric and culture, in this way, are
co-emergent. It thus turns a new page in the history of academic
discourse by bringing two disciplines - anthropology and rhetoric -
together in a way that has never been done before.
