Rhetoric, Materiality, and Politics Hardback
Edited by Barbara A. Biesecker, John Lucaites
Part of the Frontiers in Political Communication series
Hardback
Description
Rhetoric, Materiality, and Politics explores the relationship between rhetoric’s materiality and the social world in the late modern political context.
Taking as their point of departure a reprint of Michael Calvin McGee’s 1982 call to reconceptualize rhetoric as the palpable «experience» of sociality, the authors in this volume grapple anew with the role of communication practices in contemporary collective life.
Drawing upon the work of Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, and Jacques Derrida, these twelve original essays supplement, extend, and challenge McGee’s position, collectively advocating on behalf of a shift in theoretical and critical attention from rhetorical materialism to rhetoric’s materiality.
