This manual covers the Professing Rhetoric: Selected Papers From the 2000 Rhetoric Society of America Conference, a collection of scholarship exploring diverse orientations in rhetoric, including theoretical, critical, historical, and pedagogical approaches. It features previously unrecognized rhetorics, such as Native American, African American, Latino, and women's rhetorics, alongside explorations of rhetoric's relationship to performance, the body, and contemporary theory. The volume highlights the intellectual vitality and common themes that unite rhetoricians across different institutional settings.
The purpose of this manual is to provide a comprehensive resource for understanding and engaging with current rhetorical scholarship. It details topics such as rhetoric as figurality, comparative rhetorics, rhetoric and gender, the rhetorics of science and technology, the public sphere, public memory, globalization, social change, and the institutional place of rhetoric within the academy. This collection, originating from the 2000 Rhetoric Society of America conference, offers valuable insights for scholars and students interested in the dynamic and evolving field of rhetoric.
Representing current theory and research in rhetoric, this volume brings together scholarship from a variety of orientations--theoretical, critical, historical, and pedagogical. Some contributions cover work that has previously been silenced or unrecognized, including Native American, African American, Latino, and women's rhetorics. Others explore rhetoric's relationship to performance and to the body, or to revising canons, stases, topoi, and pisteis. Still others are reworking the rhetorical lexicon to comprise contemporary theory. Among these diverse interests, rhetoricians find common themes and share intellectual and pedagogical enterprises that hold them together even as their institutional situations keep them apart.
Topics discussed in this collection include:
*Rhetoric as figurality; comparative and contrastive rhetorics; rhetoric and gender; and rhetorics of science and technology;
*Rhetoric and reconceptions of the public sphere; rhetoric and public memory; and rhetorics of globalization and social change, including issues of race, ethnicity, and nationalism;
*Rhetoric's institutionalized place in the academy, in relation to other humanities and to the interpretive social sciences; and
*The place of rhetoric in the formation of departments and the development of pedagogy
With its origins in the 2000 Rhetoric Society of America (RSA) conference, this volume represents the range and vitality of current scholarship in rhetoric. The conversations contained herein indicate that professing rhetoric is, at the turn of the millennium, an intellectual activity that engages with and helps formulate the most important public and scholarly questions of today. As such, it will be engaging reading for scholars and students, and is certain to provoke further thought, discussion, and exploration.
