Extending the feminist rhetorical project to define and model
rhetorical listening
Long-ignored within rhetoric and composition studies, listening
has returned to the disciplinary radar. "Rhetorical Listening:
Identification, Gender, Whiteness "argues that rhetorical listening
facilitates conscious identifications needed for cross-cultural
communication.
Krista Ratcliffe establishes eavesdropping, listening
metonymically, and listening pedagogically as approaches to
rhetorical listening. She defines and models rhetorical listening,
addressing identifications with gender and whiteness within public
debates, scholarship, and pedagogy. Offering an approach grounded
in classical rhetorical theory, Heideggerian theory, feminist
theory, and critical race theory, Ratcliffe presents rhetorical
listening as an invention tactic that engages spoken and written
texts and supplements reading, writing, speaking, and silence as a
rhetorical art.
Theorizing intersections of gender and whiteness, "Rhetorical
Listening "examines how whiteness functions as an "invisible"
racial category and provides disciplinary and cultural reasons for
the displacement of listening and for the use of rhetorical
listening as a code of cross-cultural conduct. Ratcliffe presents
rhetorical listening in terms of cultural logics, stances, and
dominant interpretive tropes. She highlights the modern
identification theory of Kenneth Burke and the postmodern
identification and disidentification theory of Diana Fuss and
presents nonidentification as a more productive site for rhetorical
listening.
