This volume takes up rhetorical approaches to our primarily
linguistic understanding of how names work, considering how
theories of materiality in rhetoric enrich conceptions of the name
as word or symbol and help explain the processes of name bestowal,
accumulation, loss, and theft. Contributors theorize the formation,
modification, and recontexualization of names as a result of
technological and cultural change, and consider the ways in which
naming influences identity and affects/grants power.

PERSPECTIVES ON WRITING: Series Editor, Susan H. McLeod Foreword by
PAUL BUTLER In THE CENTRALITY OF STYLE, editors Mike Duncan and
Star Medzerian Vanguri argue that style is a central concern of
composition studies even as they demonstrate that some of the most
compelling work in the area has emerged from the margins of the
field. Calling attention to this paradox in his foreword to the
collection, Paul Butler observes, "Many of the chapters work within
the liminal space in which style serves as both a centralizing and
decentralizing force in rhetoric and composition. Clearly, the
authors and editors have made an invaluable contribution in their
collection by exposing the paradoxical nature of a canon that
continues to play a vital role in our disciplinary history."
