Networking Arguments presents an original study on the use and
misuse of global institutional rhetoric and the effects of these
practices on women, particularly in developing countries. Using a
feminist lens, Rebecca Dingo views the complex networks that
rhetoric flows through, globally and nationally, and how itAEs
often reconfigured to work both for and against women and to
maintain existing power structures. To see how rhetorics travel,
Dingo deconstructs the central terminology employed by global
institutions-mainstreaming, fitness, and empowerment-and shows how
their meanings shift depending on the contexts in which theyAEre
used. She studies programs by the World Bank, the United Nations,
and the United States, among others, to view the original policies,
then follows the trail of their diffusion and manipulation and the
ultimate consequences for individuals. To analyze transnational
rhetorical processes, Dingo builds a theoretical framework by
employing concepts of transcoding, ideological traffic, and
interarticulation to uncover the intricacies of power relationships
at work within networks. She also views transnational capitalism,
neoliberal economics, and neocolonial ideologies as primary
determinants of policy and arguments over womenAEs roles in the
global economy. Networking Arguments offers a new method of
feminist rhetorical analysis that allows for an increased
understanding of global gender policies and encourages strategies
to counteract the negative effects they can create.
