In Part 1, I first provide a general introduction to the problem of defining rhetoric. This leads to a discussion on rhetoric’s field of operations: opinion. I finish with a brief review of the literature. In Part 2, I present a model based primarily on a reading of Aristotle’s Rhetoric. This consists of an in-depth discussion of the three modes (deliberative, judicial and epideictic) after which I present aspects of the three rhetorical proofs: logos, pathos and ethos. In Part 3, I first discuss the role played by the audience as judge. I then discuss the work by scholars who use rhetoric in fields that are somewhat distant from literary studies. I also briefly discuss travel literature in order to provide background for the second narrative under study. Part 4, I use the model presented in Part 2 to critique and analyze two narratives. The first narrative to be analyzed in Part 4 is a fictional narrative from William H. Gass’ Fiction and the Figures of Life. The second is a non-fiction narrative by David Lansing, “Confessions of a Cheese Smuggler.” General conclusions follow Part 4. I am using the phrase “way of looking at literature” in the sense used by Peter Barry in his seminal Beginning Theory: An Introduction to Literary and Cultural Theory (6). In this primer, which begins with I. A. Richards’ method (Practical Criticism) in the 1920s and ends with theoretical approaches of the 1990s (postcolonialism and postmodernism) (12-34), Barry explains in clear and comprehensible language the various ways of looking at literature in use during this 12 time period. He then proceeds to illustrate their use by example. My dissertation is modeled after these two aspects of Barry’s text (i.e. the type of language he uses and his procedure of explanation and illustration). But these are not the only attractive features of Barry’s primer, for he is also quite fair-minded in his presentation of the various contemporary approaches. That is, not only does he present the respective merits of each, but also reveals what he views as flaws. Barry is thus, in my opinion, a scholar who does not let himself, in spite of his pro-theoretical stance, to cease from being a critical thinker. His example is one that, in an age where post-modern theorists are pitted or pit themselves against so-called Liberal Humanists and vice versa, merits imitation. An important conclusion we can draw from Barry’s equitable treatment is that each approach has something valuable to offer and yet at the same time must be examined for inadequacies or inconsistencies. The question “Which rhetoric?” must be answered for, as the reader will discover in my discussion, the definition of the term rhetoric has been a subject of dispute since its earliest extant appearance in Plato’s Gorgias. Several different definitions of rhetoric were being proposed and fought over in antiquity and that number has grown ever since. Rhetoric and its practices are being defined and redefined today. What I present below is, in effect, one possible definition of “classical rhetoric.” We can add to the myriad past and present definitions another problem. For even supposing that one chooses a particular definition of rhetoric – in the present study an “Aristotelian” definition – each one usually has so many aspects that it is only possible to reasonably address a few of them. Thus the reader must keep in mind during the discussion below it has been necessary to focus on certain aspects that form part of Aristotle’s definition of rhetoric and to leave many others aside. Further, even after narrowing down my focus on certain elements, I have only managed in my discussion to 13 scratch the surface, due to the vast amount of literature. Be that as it may, it is my hope that the way of looking at literature that I am presenting here will fill what has been identified by scholars as a gap in terms of critical approaches in English studies. The approach I present is based on classical rhetoric with borrowings of ideas, concepts and methodology from classics scholars, from contemporary scholars of rhetoric and literature, and from scholars working in fields not normally associated with literary studies: sociology and business administration. While maintaining certain aspects taken from the abovementioned sources, I then provide an approach that I believe is different from other current approaches. I am aware that that a classics scholar like Heinrich Plett might rightly level the accusation against me that there is nothing new under rhetoric’s sun.1 Still, I believe that the way of looking at literature I am presenting differs from other rhetoric-based approaches advanced in recent decades by scholars of English and literature. The question, “Why rhetoric?” must also be answered. In 1983, Terry Eagleton made a call for a return to rhetoric in Literary Theory: An Introduction. Eagleton states in this primer to literary theory that rhetoric has been in disuse for several centuries.2 Thus, my dissertation is, in some way, a response to the plea made by Eagleton (and other scholars) for students of literature to return to rhetorical methods practiced in 4th century Athens. But rather than focusing on the power and signification of discursive political ideology the way Eagleton does, I instead use concepts from Aristotle’s Rhetoric to examine how logos, ethos and pathos are at work in the texts under study to persuade their audience or readership. These same rhetorical proofs can be used to reveal and evaluate the system of values in which the discourse is enmeshed. My definition is similar to Eagleton’s in that I seek to reveal the effects of argumentative 1 See Plett. 2 See Eagleton. 14 discourse as well as how these effects are produced and what they mean in a particular historical socio-cultural milieu. However, the way I go about doing so is different in that I seek to show in the narratives under study basic rhetorical mechanisms presented in Aristotle’s treatise. Eagleton defines rhetoric as a socio-political discursive ensemble. I break that ensemble down into its constituent parts. Eagleton made his plea in 1983. It is therefore, given his importance as a theorist, perhaps surprising that twelve years later rhetoric does not figure in Barry’s introduction to literary theory as an approach for looking at or analyzing literature – in either an ancient or contemporary version. Barry does, however, state that theory about literature “goes back to Greek and Latin originals,” meanwhile identifying Aristotle’s Poetics as the “earliest work of theory” (21). To Barry’s assertion must be added the very important fact that it is best not to read the Poetics in isolation from other works in the Aristotelian corpus. One reason for this is because in the Poetics Aristotle refers his readers to the Rhetoric for his discussion of dianoia, or thought, a major component of discourse that appears in his discussion of poetics. Nor does Aristotle stop there. For, in Aristotle’s definition, rhetoric is the “offshoot” or “counterpart” of dialectic, which is the object of study in his Topics. Further, in Aristotle’s framework, rhetoric is linked with politics which he equates with ethics. This means that in order to gain an adequate understanding of what Aristotle means when he discusses literary theory in his Poetics, the student of literature must at very least have read Aristotle’s Topics, Nichomachean Ethics, Rhetoric, and Politics.

  • Youtube and the Vernacular Rhetorics of Web 2.0
    i REMEDIATING DEMOCRACY: YOUTUBE AND THE VERNACULAR RHETORICS OF WEB 2.0 Erin Dietel-McLaughlin A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Kristine Blair, Advisor Louisa Ha Graduate Faculty Representative Michael Butterworth Lee Nickoson ii ABSTRACT Kristine Blair, Advisor This dissertation examines the extent to which composing practices and rhetorical strategies common to ―Web 2.0‖ arenas may reinvigorate democracy. The project examines several digital composing practices as examples of what Gerard Hauser (1999) and others have dubbed ―vernacular rhetoric,‖ or common modes of communication that may resist or challenge more institutionalized forms of discourse. Using a cultural studies approach, this dissertation focuses on the popular video-sharing site, YouTube, and attempts to theorize several vernacular composing practices. First, this dissertation discusses the rhetorical trope of irreverence, with particular attention to the ways in which irreverent strategies such as new media parody transcend more traditional modes of public discourse. Second, this dissertation discusses three approaches to video remix (collection, Detournement, and mashing) as political strategies facilitated by Web 2.0 technologies, with particular attention to the ways in which these strategies challenge the construct of authorship and the power relationships inherent in that construct. This dissertation then considers the extent to which sites like YouTube remediate traditional rhetorical modes by focusing on the genre of epideictic rhetoric and the ways in which sites like YouTube encourage epideictic practice. Finally, in light of what these discussions reveal in terms of rhetorical practice and democracy in Web 2.0 arenas, this dissertation offers a concluding discussion of what our ―Web 2.0 world‖ might mean for composition studies in terms of theory, practice, and the teaching of writing.

Foundations and perspectives 1. Rhetoric as an art and a discipline. Rhetoric in culture and culture in rhetoric Although rhetoric was born as an instrument to communicate with persuasive aims before courts and it was initially used in the realm of civil law, it entered easily into the fi elds of criminal law and political communication. Rhetoric passed from its native land, Sicily, an island that had been colonized by the Greeks, to Athens, and afterwards from Athens to Rome. Rhetoric is the technique of communication and of oral public discourse that each citizen of these cities who wished to play a public role in society should have learned.

  • Deconstruction and Rhetorical Strategies
    appendix Deconstruction and Rhetorical Strategies Shared Rhetorical Background Whereas the main differences between the three modes of deconstruction were high- lighted in the concluding chapter, this Appendix draws attention to their most crucial common ground. All the literary strategies that are applied to deconstruct imperial rep- resentation are based on rhetorical strategies. We have seen this implicitly throughout the study; this Appendix will make the rhetorical strategies explicit. It complements the conclusion offered in the last chapter by looking at the results of this study from a strictly rhetorical perspective and by asking which general rhetorical strategies under- lie the techniques of deconstruction analysed in this book (in particular in chapters 4, 7, and 10). Tacitus, Suetonius, and Cassius Dio, who all received rhetorical training and were familiar with the theory and practice of rhetoric, adapt rhetorical measures in vari- ous ways, but the underlying principles—the rhetorical operations—are the same. My analysis of historiographical strategies deployed against Nero and Domitian as rhetorical strategies builds on the branch of scholarship that has shown that Roman historiography cannot be separated from rhetoric.1 The study of connections between historiography and rhetoric most often takes the form of analysing speeches in his- toriographical works. My approach is broader: I read historiography and biography as persuasive genres that aim to make their accounts plausible. Their presentation is also directed against other versions of the same topics and personalities, especially in the form we find them in panegyrical discourse. To achieve plausibility for its own version of Nero and Domitian, historiography draws on genuinely rhetorical devices.

Each element of the rhetorical situation carries assumptions and imperatives rhetorical situation about the kind of rhetoric that will be well received. Rhetorical situation will also influence mode and medium. Storytelling is one of few rituals that permeates all cultures. Indeed, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a well-told story. But what exactly makes for a well-told story? Of course, the answer to that question depends on your rhetorical situation: your audience, your sociohistorical position, and your purpose will determine how you tell your story.

    English Department: PhD Alumni Dissertation Abstracts 2009-2018 Creel, James Wright. Rhetorics of Integrity: Constitutive Rhetoric in American Cinema and Television (2018) This dissertation addresses the ways in which Americans navigate between their gendered, raced, and national identities, and the role film and television play in that navigation. To do so, I draw from and build upon Maurice Charland's concept "constitutive rhetoric," which theorizes the construction of national identity as a process of interpellation, where a particular facet of identity is hailed as always already extant. But whereas Charland deals exclusively with symbolic identity, I argue that the premises for constitutive rhetoric also extend into the material world because identity is also a material, embodied phenomenon. As a result, I assert that scholars of rhetoric and culture can better conceptualize human bodies as material constructs, and material constructs (national monuments, statues) as bodies. Because identity is material, the calls to identification in constitutive rhetoric are simultaneously calls to embodiment, and a call to shift bodies is understandably often met with resistance. To explain this resistance, I develop a theory called "rhetorics of integrity," which are discursive and non-discursive appeals that privilege consistency and wholeness. Using this theory, I identify appeals to integrity in portrayals of raced, gendered, and national bodies in American cinema; in particular, I analyze how and why these bodies are destroyed and what interests are served by having certain bodies remain whole.

  • Rhetorical Devices and Terms Terminology J. Ritterson Washburn
    Rhetorical Devices and Terms J. Ritterson Terminology Washburn High School English Department Basic Abstract Not related to the concrete properties of an object; pertaining to ideas, concepts, or qualities, as opposed to physical attributes. Alliteration The repetition of initial consonant sounds or any vowel sounds within a formal grouping, such as a poetic line or stanza, or in close proximity in prose. Analytical A style of writing in which the subject is broken into its writing components and the components are subjected to detailed scrutiny. Anecdote A brief story or tale told by a character in a piece of literature. Antagonist Character or force in a literary work that opposes the main character, or protagonist. Argumentation is one of the four modes of discourse (see Description, Exposition, and Narration). It seeks to convince the reader of the truth or falseness of an idea. Writers sometimes accomplish this by appealing to readers' emotions as Orwell does in "Marrakech" or by appealing to readers' ethics as is the case in "None of This Is Fair" by Richard Rodriguez. Others, such as Andrew Hacker in "E.R.A.—R.I.P.," can argue for or against a volatile issue by appealing to the readers' sense of reason, though often in an argument these appeals are interrelated. Audience The person(s) reached by a piece of writing. Claim An assertion of something as fact; to demand as a right or as due. Closure Bringing to an end or conclusion. Coherence indicates an orderly relationship among the parts in a whole essay or other literary work.

Petőfi’s linguistic and textual theory and the recovery of the historical thinking about Rhetoric Francisco Chico Rico (University of Alicante, Spain) Abstract The present paper carries out a study about the possibilities of mutual enrichment resulting from the interrelationship of the Text-Structure World-Structure Theory (TeSWeST, from the German “Text-Struktur Welt-Struktur Theorie”) by János S. Petőfi and the rhetorical model, that is, the explanatory system for the construction and communication of rhetorical discourse within the framework of the so-called rhetorica recepta, traditionally formed by the operations —partes artis or oratoris officia— of inventio, dispositio, elocutio, memoria and actio/pronuntiatio. More specifically, our aim is, on the one hand, to account for the enrichment of TeSWeST from the examination of rhetorical elocutio —an enrichment which also leads us to the need for a redefinition of the traditional rhetorical operations in the light of the components and categories of TeSWeST; and on the other, to try and explain the enrichment of the traditional rhetorical system through the recovery of the rhetorical operation of intellectio —from the review of historic texts dealing with rhetorical theory, such as Institutiones oratorias, by Sulpitius Victor, and De rhetorica liber, by Aurelius Augustinus.
