The Rise Of Rhetoric And Its Intersection With Contemporary Critical Thought (Polemics Series) - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
Against the backdrop of the Greek history of rhetorical theory, this book accentuates contemporary critical and Marxist theories of resistance, domination, knowledge, and systems of ideological control. The author offers a balanced discussion of classical and modern theories of rhetoric, as well as critical theory. In addition, the book situates these theories within tensions and problems that exist in our contemporary sociopolitical environment. As such, The Rise of Rhetoric and Its Intersection with Contemporary Critical Thought is a practical introduction to a wide range of interdisciplinary theories and perspectives, and it serves as a useful tool for enabling people to become aware of their social, political, and communicative environments.
