This volume examines the role of rhetoric in today's culture of
democratic activism. The volume takes on two of the most
significant challenges currently facing contemporary rhetorical
studies: (1) the contested meanings and practices of democracy and
civic engagement in global context, and (2) the central role of
rhetoric in democratic activist practices. In presenting a variety
of political and rhetorical struggles in their specific contexts,
editors Seth Kahn and JongHwa Lee allow contributors to reflect on
and elaborate possibilities for both activist approaches to
rhetorical studies, and rhetorical approaches to activist projects,
facilitating better understanding the socio-political consequences
of this work. With contributors from widely known scholars in
communication and composition studies, the collection offers
practical cases that highlight how rhetoric mediates, constitutes,
and/or intervenes in democratic principles and practices. It also
considers theoretical questions that acknowledge profound voids in
the rhetorical tradition (e.g., Western, neo-Aristotelian, liberal)
and expand the horizon of traditional rhetorical perspectives. It
advocates new knowledge and practices that further promote civic
engagement, social change and democracy in the global context.
Activism and Rhetoric will be appropriate for scholars and students
across disciplines, including rhetoric, composition, communication
studies, political science, cultural studies, and women's studies.
