Rhetorical critics have long had a troubled relationship with
method, viewing it as at times opening up provocative avenues of
inquiry, and at other times as closing off paths toward meaningful
engagement with texts. Text + Field shifts scholarly attention from
this conflicted history, looking instead to the growing number of
scholars who are supplementing text-based scholarship by venturing
out into the field, where rhetoric is produced, enacted, and
consumed. These field-based practices involve observation,
ethnographic interviews, and performance. They are not intended to
displace text-based approaches; rather, they expand the idea of
method by helping rhetorical scholars arrive at new and
complementary answers to long-standing disciplinary questions about
text, context, audience, judgment, and ethics. The first volume in
rhetoric and communication to directly address the relevance,
processes, and implications of using field methods to augment
traditional scholarship, Text + Field provides a framework for
adapting these new tools to traditional rhetorical inquiry. Aside
from the editors, the contributors are Roberta Chevrette, Kathleen
M. de Onis, Danielle Endres, Joshua P. Ewalt, Alina Haliliuc, Aaron
Hess, Jamie Landau, Michael Middleton, Tiara R. Na'puti, Jessy J.
Ohl, Phaedra C. Pezzullo, Damien Smith Pfister, Samantha
Senda-Cook, Lisa Silvestri, and Valerie Thatcher.
