Rhetorical Criticism: Empowering the Exploration of "Texts"
encourages students to analyze texts of various sorts-speeches,
advertisements, memory sites, and more-to gain a clear
understanding of what the text has to say and how it persuades or
otherwise affects its audience. The book clearly and succinctly
helps students build the skills required to easily and effectively
practice rhetorical criticism. The book begins with a chapter that
defines "rhetoric," "criticism," and "text," demonstrates how
theory-based rhetorical criticism can be exciting, and emphasizes
that there are many diverse lenses through which to illuminate
texts. The proceeding chapters explore various types of rhetorical
criticism, including classical, The Chicago School, Burkean,
fantasy theme, narrative, genre, mythological, Bahktinian,
ideological, feminist, and constitutive. Each chapter begins by
explaining the theory in which the critical approach is based. It
then explains how a critic utilizing that particular type of
rhetorical criticism manages the critical process and offers the
reader an extended example of the critical approach in use.
Conversational in nature and inclusive of a wide range of critical
methods, Rhetorical Criticism is ideal for undergraduate courses in
rhetoric-oriented courses.
