If the surface of Turkish politics has changed dramatically over
the decades, the vocabulary for sorting these changes remains
constant: Europe, Islam, minorities, the military, the founding
father (Ataturk). This familiar vocabulary functions as more than a
set of descriptors of institutions, phenomena, or issues to debate
in public. These five primary "figures" emerge from national
identity, public discourse, and scholarship about Turkey to
represent Turkish history and political authority while also
shaping history and political authority. These figures unify
disparate phenomena into governable categories and index historical
relations of power that define Turkish politics. As these concepts
circulate, they operate as a shorthand for complex networks and
histories of authority, producing and limiting ways of knowing
Turkish modernity, democracy, and political culture. These figures
not only are spoken and discussed in public, but they also produce
the context into which they are projected, in a sense speaking on
their own. In Figures That Speak, deTar explores the diverse
mobilization and production of history and power in the primary
figures that circulate in discourse about Turkey.

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.
