  • Rhetoric for Becoming Otherwise
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts RHETORIC FOR BECOMING OTHERWISE: LIFE, LITERATURE, GENEALOGY, FLIGHT A Dissertation in English by Abram D. Anders © 2009 Abram D. Anders Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2009 ii The dissertation of Abram D. Anders was reviewed and approved* by the following: Richard M. Doyle Professor of English and Science, Technology and Society Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Jeffrey T. Nealon Liberal Arts Research Professor of English Xiaoye You Assistant Professor of English and Asian Studies Robert A. Yarber, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Art Robert R. Edwards Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English and Comparative Literature Department of English Graduate Director *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT Rhetoric for Becoming Otherwise begins with the Isocratean premise that thought, speech, writing are best understood as bridges between the already said of language and the emerging circumstances that are the occasions for their production. This argument is rehearsed across a variety of domains and instances following Isocrates exhortation that the rhetorician or practitioner of philosophia can only model the movement of discourse without expecting to provide any “true knowledge” or “absolute theory” for how to encounter the problematics of an endlessly deferred present. As a matter of rhetoric, becoming otherwise is the continually renewed task of creating something new from the resources of language and for the demands of an ever deferred present—Presocratics versus Classicists (Chapter 1). As a matter of health, becoming otherwise is the necessity of overcoming limitation and suffering in order to achieve new norms of health and pursue the ever changing opportunities of a self‐developing capacity for producing new capacities—Normativity versus Normalization (Chapter 2).

  • Narrative Inquiry: Attending to the Art of Discourse
    Narrative Inquiry: Attending to the Art of Discourse Carl Leggo University of British Columbia Storytelling is an attempt to deal with and at least partly contain the terrifyingly haphazard quality of life. (Fulford, 1999, 14) Every interpretation is a political move. (Marshall, 1992, 192) Here I am, at the border between story and history, personal desire and a shared reality over which I have no more power than I do over my dreams. (Keefer, 1998, 163) At least once a year, I teach a graduate course titled Narrative Inquiry. Students from many different disciplines, including education, health, nursing, creative writing, and psychology, register for the course with the anticipation that they will learn how to do narrative inquiry. At the beginning of the course I always inform students that they will not likely learn how to do narrative inquiry in the narrative inquiry course. Instead they will interrogate the strategies, purposes, practices, and challenges of narrative inquiry, and they will learn how complicated, even messy, the whole business of narrative inquiry really is. I organize the course around an investigation of three principal dynamics involved in narrative inquiry: story, interpretation, and discourse. I explain that story is what happened. Therefore, story can be researched by asking the journalist’s questions: who? what? when? where? why? how? Then, interpretation addresses the basic question of so what. In other words, what is the significance of the story? Finally, discourse is all about how we tell the story. Discourse refers to the rhetoric of story- telling, the art and science of shaping and constructing a story for communicating to others.

  • Eric Voegelin and Giambattista Vico: a Rhetorical Reading by Giuseppe
    Eric Voegelin and Giambattista Vico: A Rhetorical Reading by Giuseppe Ballacci Department of Political Science and International Relations Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Prepared for delivery at the 2007 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, August 30th-September 2nd, 2007 Eric Voegelin Society DRAFT, PLEASE NOT QUOTE WITHOUT PERMISSION “It is difficult to tell the truth, because even if there is just one truth, it is alive and so it has a changing face” (Franz Kafka)∗ Introduction It is not so easy to understand, but indeed very appealing to research, the reasons why in a moment so interested in foundations and language as ours, thinkers as Giambattista Vico and Eric Voegelin, who left such profound and inspiring contributions on these topics, are not at the centre of the attention of scholars in the field of philosophy, and specifically of political philosophy (the discipline that should be most concerned with them). This paper is an attempt to contribute to the (to be sure, already sustained) effort to correct this deficiency, with a reflection on the works of these two great authors aimed to highlight their communalities and the potentiality that springs from such joined reading. Since the times of Plato and Aristotle, Modernity can be considered not only one of the most interested epoch in the theme of foundations but also, and above all, one of the most confident in its ability to find them1. In this respect, we can recall what Blumenberg once noticed: it is not very normal that an epoch put in question the legitimacy of its existence, or even more, that it comes to conceive itself as an “epoch” at all2.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines rhetoric’s fourth canon—the art of memory—tracing its development through the classical, medieval, and early modern periods. It argues that for most of its history, the fourth canon was an art by which words and knowledge were remediated into visual, spatial forms, either in the mind or on the page. And it was this technique of visualization, I argue, that linked the canons of memory and invention throughout history. In contemporary rhetorical theory, however, memory palaces and mnemonic imagery have been replaced with a conception of memory grounded in psychology and critique. I argue that this move away from memory as an artificial practice has obscured the classical art’s visual precepts, consequently severing the ancient link between memory and invention. I suggest that contemporary rhetorical theorists should return to visualization to revitalize the fourth canon in the twenty-first century. Today, digital tools that visualize words and knowledge are ubiquitous.

  • Rhetorical Theory Rhetorical Theory Is the Body of Thought About Human Symbol Use
    Rhetorical Theory Rhetorical theory is the body of thought about human symbol use. The term rhetoric, in its popular usage, typically has negative connotations. Rhetoric is contrasted with action; it is empty words, talk without substance, mere ornament. This contemporary understanding of rhetoric is at odds with a long history of rhetorical theory, dating back in the West to ancient Greece and Rome, that provides a long-standing foundation on which the contemporary discipline of communication is built. At the heart of theorizing about rhetoric, whether for the Greeks or contemporary scholars, is what came to be called by Lloyd Bitzer in 1968 the rhetorical situation. Rhetoric occurs in response to an exigence or some kind of urgency, problem, or something not as it should be. Another characteristic of the situation is the audience— those individuals capable of affecting the exigence in some way. In addition, there are constraints in the situation—positive and negative factors that hinder or enhance the possibility that the audience will be able to affect the exigence. Rhetoric comes into being, then, when a rhetor observes or creates an exigence and offers discourse designed to bring the interests of the audience to bear on it. In essence, then, rhetorical theorists address some or all parts of the rhetorical situation—the rhetor and the degree of agency available to him or her; the audience and the constraints available to them; the discourse, message, or symbols used to address the exigence; how the exigence itself is constructed, created, and addressed; and the larger contexts— historical, economic, cultural, and symbolic—in which the situation is playing out.
