LOBBY LEVEL MEZZANINE I MEZZANINE II Table of Contents WELCOME 1 WELCOME 2 BOARD OF DIRECTORS 6 CONFERENCE PROGRAM Welcome, ISHR members, to New Orleans, one of America’s premier vacation desti- 25 ABSTRACTS nations and site of our 22nd biennial conference. Over the next three days you will have the opportunity to hear first-class papers on all aspects of the history of rhetoric, meet old friends and colleagues, greet exciting new scholars, and, of course, sample the pleasures of New Orleans, a city like no other in the United States. New Orleans was founded as a French colonial military outpost and became a city in 1718. There are almost no existing structures that were built before the 1790s, unfortuna- tely, because the town kept burning down. Louisiana was ceded to Spain in 1762, although it remained French-speaking outside of the royal and church officials. Napoleon regained Louisiana but quickly sold it to the United States in 1803. It then became a state in 1812. New Orleans grew into one of the great port cities of the world in the nineteenth century, with large influxes of immigrants from Haiti, Italy, Germany, Hungary, and especially Ireland. The French language was replaced in New Orleans by English during the first half of the nineteenth century, although “Cajun” French is still spoken in some of the rural and coas- tal parishes, to the south of New Orleans. Slavery was also part of Louisiana’s history almost from the beginning. The struggle of people of African descent to achieve equality has had many set-backs after the end of slavery, but African-Americans have contributed dispropor- tionately to New Orleans’ unique character, especially with the development of jazz. The architecture of New Orleans is unique in the United States, but shares many characteristics with other Caribbean port cities, blending European and African styles. The destruction and death caused by Hurricane Katrina on 2005 attracted world-wide attention, and there was fear that New Orleans would never fully recover. But it has, largely, and the downtown and French Quarter areas in which you will be staying are much impro- ved than before Katrina. The adjacent neighborhood of Tremé, across Esplanade Boulevard at the east end of the French Quarter, has regained its verve and is a lively music area, while the visual arts district to the west across Canal Street and around Julia Street has also retur- ned to its former glory, and the Word War II Museum farther down has become an interna- tional attraction. Please look on the Travel and Local Arrangements page on the ISHR web site for a very full description of local and regional attractions. So – something different for ISHR. I hope you have an intellectually stimulating and enjoyable conference. Best wishes, Malcolm Richardson.
