In light of more recent conversations about religion and its import
as a factor in the global geopolitical and cultural spheres,
augmented by the "contracting" of relationship among people and
nations, Communication and the Global Landscape of Faith highlights
geographical, architectural, and a partial issues as significant
and edifying dimensions of the study of communication and religion.
Insights are gleaned through the prism of the philosophical, built,
performative, political, and intercultural landscapes.
Communication theory provides a compelling way to understand how
people of faith can and should work together in today's tumultuous
world. In A Communication Perspective on Interfaith Dialogue,
fifteen authors present their experiences and analyses of
interfaith dialogue, and contextualize interfaith work within the
frame of rhetorical and communication studies. While the focus is
on the Abrahamic faiths, these essays also include discussion of
Hinduism and interracial faith efforts. Each chapter incorporates
communication theories that bring clarity to the practices and
problems of interfaith communication. Where other interfaith books
provide theological, political, or sociological insights, this
volume is committed to the perspectives contained in communication
scholarship. Interfaith dialogue is best imagined as an organic
process, and it does not require theological heavyweights gathered
for academic banter. As such, this volume focuses on the processes
and means by which interfaith meaning is produced.

A collection of essays providing insights into new directions in
rhetorical history Kathleen J. Turner's 1998 multicontributor
volume Doing Rhetorical History: Concepts and Cases quickly became
a foundational text in the field, and the studies in the book have
served as an important roadmap for scholars undertaking such
scholarship. In the decades since its publication, developments in
rhetorical-historical research, engaged scholarship, and academic
interventionism have changed the practice of rhetoric history
tremendously. To address this shift, Turner and Jason Edward Black
have edited a much-anticipated follow-up volume: Reframing
Rhetorical History: Cases, Theories, and Methodologies, which
reassesses both history as rhetoric and rhetorical history as
practice. This new book attends to a number of topics that have
become not just hot-button issues in rhetorical scholarship but
have entrenched themselves as anchors within the field. These
include digital rhetoric, public memory, race and ethnicity, gender
dynamics and sexualities, health and well-being, transnationalism
and globalization, social justice, archival methods and politics,
and colonialism and decoloniality. The sixteen essays are divided
into four major parts: "Digital Humanities and Culture" introduces
methods and cases using twenty-first century technologies;
"Identities, Cultures, and Archives" addresses race and gender
within the contexts of critical race theory, gendered health
rhetoric, race-based public memory, and class/sectionalism;
"Approaches to Nationalism and Transnationalism" explores
ideologies related to US and international cultures; and
"Metahistories and Pedagogies" explores creative ways to approach
the frame of metarhetorical history given what the field has
learned since the publication of Doing Rhetorical History.
