Inspired by the Rhetoric Culture Project, this volume focuses on
the use of imagery, narrative, and cultural schemes to deal with
predicaments that arise during the course of life. The contributors
explore how people muster their resources to understand and deal
with emergencies such as illness, displacement, or genocide. In
dealing with such circumstances, people can develop new rhetorical
forms and, in the process, establish new cultural resources for
succeeding generations. Several of the contributions show how
rhetorical cultural forms can themselves create emergencies. The
contributors bring expertise from a variety of disciplines,
including anthropology and communications studies, underlining the
volume's wider relevance as a reflection on the human condition.
