  • DIOGENES of SINOPE Diogenes of Sinope (C
    DIOGENES OF SINOPE Diogenes of Sinope (c. 412‐323 BC), a contemporary of Plato and Aristotle, is considered the founder of the philosophical school of Cynicism. Concerned more with action than with words, he left no writings. What we know of his thought is what has been related to us by contempo‐ raries and later scholars. The most extensive account is from Diogenes Laertes, writing almost 500 years after Diogenes lived. LIFE OF DIOGENES OF SINOPE, THE CYNIC (404‐323 BC) RD BY DIOGENES LAERTIUS (3 CENTURY AD) Diogenes was a native of Sinope, son of Hicesius, a banker. Diocles relates that he went into exile because his father was entrusted with the money of the state and adulterated the coin‐ age. But Eubulides in his book on Diogenes says that Diogenes himself did this and was forced to leave home along with his father. Moreover Diogenes himself actually confesses in his Porde‐ lus that he adulterated the coinage. Some say that having been appointed to superintend the workmen he was persuaded by them, and that he went to Delphi or to the Delian oracle in his own city and inquired of Apollo whether he should do what he was urged to do. When the god gave him permission to alter the political currency, not understanding what this meant, he adulterated the state coinage, and when he was detected, according to some he was banished, while according to others he voluntarily quitted the city for fear of consequences. One version is that his father entrusted him with the money and that he debased it, in consequence of which the father was imprisoned and died, while the son fled, came to Delphi, and inquired, not whether he should falsify the coinage, but what he should do to gain the greatest reputation; and that then it was that he received the oracle.

STRATEGIES OF NARRATIVE DISCLOSURE IN THE RHETORIC OF ANTI-CORPORATE CAMPAIGNS by RICHARD ALEXANDER HERDER Under the Direction of Dr. Michael Bruner ABSTRACT In the years following World War II social activists learned to refine rhetorical techniques for gaining the attention of the new global mass media and developed anti-corporate campaigns to convince some of the world’s largest companies to concede to their demands. Despite these developments, rhetorical critics have tended to overlook anti-corporate campaigns as objects of study in their own right. One can account for the remarkable success of anti-corporate campaigns by understanding how activists have practiced prospective narrative disclosure, a calculated rhetorical wager that, through the public circulation of stories and texts disclosing problematic practices and answerable decision makers, activists can influence the policies and practices of prominent corporations. In support of this thesis, I provide case studies of two anti-corporate campaigns: the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union vs.

  • Marsilio Ficino's Commentary on Plato's Gorgias
    Marsilio Ficino’s Commentary on Plato’s Gorgias Leo Catana Abstract: Plato’s Gorgias sets out to discuss the nature translated in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, but, and aim of rhetoric. The dialogue was held in high esteem apart from the Meno, none of the dialogues conveyed among late ancient Platonists and it resurfaced in Renais- much about ancient sophists. In the Timaeus we find the sance discussions about ethics. Olympiodorus (6th cen- speaker Critias, whose relation to the speaker with the tury) produced an extensive commentary on the dialogue, same name in the Plato dialogue entitled Critias is dis- emphasising its ethical content. In 1409, Leonardo Bruni puted, but the central point is that Critias in the Timaeus (1369-1444) provided the first complete Latin translation did not convey theories under the banner of sophistry.1 In of the Gorgias with preface and annotations. Later in the Meno 93c, Meno had related that sophists (sophistai) Renaissance we find direct and indirect commentaries by promised to teach virtue (aretē), adding that he admired George of Trebizond (1395-1472/1473) and Marsilio Fi- Gorgias (probably a reference to Gorgias of Leontini), for cino (1433-1499). I argue that Ficino’s translation of, and his refusal to make such a promise; all he did was to teach commentary to, Plato’s Gorgias was a significant, but oratory. Gorgias of Leontini (485-380) was a historical perhaps also unintended, contribution to the dissemination figure, who went to Athens on a diplomatic mission in of ancient sophists in the Italian Renaissance. Ficino’s 427, and Plato’s Gorgias was clearly a reaction to his in- commentary to the Gorgias defends a legitimate and fluence on Athenian rhetoric and politics.2 In Meno 75e, philosophical use of rhetoric, including the one we find in Socrates had referred to Prodicus, but without linking his Plato’s own writings.

Smith was reviewed and approved* by the following: Cheryl Glenn Liberal Arts Research Professor of English Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee John L. Selzer Professor of English Hester Blum Associate Professor of English Melissa Wright Associate Professor of Geography Robert E. Burkholder Associate Professor of English Associate Head of the Department of English *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT The primary goal of this dissertation is to understand the role of space in women’s participation in 19th-century intentional communities and publics. Through their participation in 19th-century utopian experiments, my subjects were exposed to unconventional ideas about space, gender, labor, and community. Like many other participants in such communities, my subjects also formed rhetorical alliances with larger American communities concerned with business, politics, and social norms. The project follows these rhetorical trajectories from utopian space to the public sphere, guided by my overarching question: how does space affect the rhetorical alliances of 19th-century women? Following the theoretical and methodological orientation in Chapter Two, I go on to examine three female rhetors, drawing from their published writings and speeches and archival sources within their communities or pertaining to the women themselves. Chapter Three explores the infamous Frances Wright.

  • Writing in the Flow: Assembling Tactical Rhetorics in an Age of Viral Circulation
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Dustin Wayne Edwards Candidate for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy ______________________________________ James Porter, Director ______________________________________ Heidi McKee, Reader ______________________________________ Jason Palmeri, Reader ______________________________________ Michele Simmons, Reader ______________________________________ James Coyle, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT WRITING IN THE FLOW: ASSEMBLING TACTICAL RHETORICS IN AN AGE OF VIRAL CIRCULATION by Dustin W. Edwards From prompts to share, update, and retweet, social media platforms increasingly insist that creating widespread circulation is the operative goal for networked writing. In response, researchers from multiple disciplines have investigated digital circulation through a number of lenses (e.g., affect theory, transnational feminism, political economy, public sphere theory, and more). In rhetoric and writing studies, scholars have argued that writing for circulation—i.e., envisioning how one’s writing may gain speed, distance, and momentum—should be a prime concern for teachers and researchers of writing (e.g., Gries, 2015; Ridolfo & DeVoss, 2009; Porter, 2009; Sheridan, Ridolfo, & Michel, 2012). Such work has suggested that circulation is a consequence of rhetorical delivery and, as such, is distinctly about futurity. While a focus on writing for circulation has been productive, I argue that that writing in circulation can be equally productive. Challenging the tendency to position circulation as an exclusive concern for delivery, this project argues that circulation is not just as an end goal for rhetorical activity but also as a viable inventional resource for writers with diverse rhetorical goals. To make this case, I construct a methodology of assemblage to retell stories of tactical rhetorics.

    Purdue University English 680r: Public Rhetorics Spring 2009 Wednesdays, 11:30-2:20, Heavilon 111 Instructor: Patricia Sullivan Office: Heavilon 401 Office Hours: 3-4:30 on Friday (and on most Weds) preferred email: [email protected] website: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~psulliva Positioning Public Rhetorics is the anchor seminar of the new secondary area in Public Rhetoric. Our aim in developing cognate coursework in Public Rhetoric is to add depth to a domain of written literacy studies, and therefore extend the graduate program’s repetoire. As we view Shirley Brice Heath’s typology for the domains of literacy—home, school, community, and work—Purdue’s Graduate Program already offers in-depth work in school [WPA] and work [PTW] and the faculty [along with most of the field] are not interested in probing home literacy. So, Public Rhetoric is intended to provide in-depth investigation of Heath’s domain of “community”. Of course, we rename it to fit our view of perimeters that interest us. It is not lost on us that renaming has its consequences; so, one goal of the course is to explore the impacts of various naming activities at the field level. We call this seminar Public RhetoricS to emphasize the plurality of constituitive views about how one might write/speak/communicate to a public or even assemble a public that fits with what one wants to write/speak/say. Yes, we could have pluralized Public as well (which you quickly realize reading Warner), except for the grammatical horror that would ensue— a collective of plurals might invite “fear and trembling” on our parts.

  • Michel Foucault and the Production of American
    READING THE STATE WRITING: MICHEL FOUCAULT AND THE PRODUCTION OF AMERICAN POLITICAL CULTURE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kirk S. Kidwell, B.A., M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Debra Moddelmog, Adviser Professor James Phelan ___________________________________ Professor Amy Shuman Adviser Department of English Copyright by Kirk S. Kidwell 2003 ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I seek to answer two critical questions. First, what transformations have occurred in American political culture such that, in 1798, when the U.S. Congress enacted one of the first pieces of health-related legislation the heart of the debate was whether providing for the health care of the citizenry was a legitimate object for governmental action, but when, 200 years later, Congress debates health care legislation the issue is no longer whether the state should take action but what action the state should take? Second, what form would a Foucauldian approach to this question take and what answers would such an approach produce? Accordingly, the dissertation has a two-fold focus: (1) an analysis of Michel Foucault’s methodologies of archaeology and genealogy and of his thought concerning discourse, power, and government; (2) a deployment of that analysis in an investigation of the production of American political culture since the founding of the American Republic in 1787-1788. In other words, the critical problem the dissertation addresses concerns the development and application of Foucauldian critical methodologies to the analysis of American political culture.
