This essay explores how these circumstances have undermined human agency in the political arena. Through a close analysis of the work of major critics of technology such as Langdon Winner, Jacques Ellul, Theodore Kaczynski, Lewis Mumford, and others, I demonstrate how technological change has reached a point where every major contingent of the liberal democratic political order has been neutralized in its ability to direct the course of future advances. After describing how the masses, the elites, and the experts have each been rendered powerless, I explore the implications of this situation for the practice of politics in human society.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="13f7ac6a87651b8754ef641923fa0465" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":110560042,"asset_id":113655606,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/110560042/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="113655606"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="113655606"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 113655606;

Further, recent work on personal transformation suggests that new identities are legitimized through personal, confessional testimony about the self. In contrast, this essay focuses on “voluntary disappearances” as one example of a type of personal transformation that operates through dissociative practices. Voluntary disappearance is the term given to situations where a person wishes to completely cut ties with all aspects of the present life and achieves this by moving to a new place and assuming a new identity. Through a rhetorical analysis of various books on the topic of how to enact such a disappearance, this study demonstrates two central insights: a) that some modes of ethos formation are achieved by dissociation rather than association, and b) that dissociative personal transformations are achieved through disidentification, non-recognition, concealment and deception.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="17b865751e17076bfddf8e7d57e622fb" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":89782090,"asset_id":84921163,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/89782090/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="84921163"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="84921163"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 84921163;

In observing examples of secular apocalypses, researchers typically locate them in contexts that are nevertheless concerned with spiritual and mystical matters. In contrast, this essay demonstrates that secular apocalyptic rhetoric is also utilized in the official discourse of scientific experts and government representatives. Through a close analysis of official documents on the topics of anthropogenic climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic (two urgent issues of public policy that are framed as agents of global cataclysm), I demonstrate the ways that experts appropriate religious forms of rhetoric to persuade audiences to accept the measures proposed by authorities. In the process, the essay identifies the rhetorical features of the secular apocalyptic subgenre in contradistinction to its religious predecessor. Ultimately, this study exposes the ways that secular officials – whose power is justified on the grounds of a purportedly objective, rational, empiricism that is opposed to mysticism – make use of persuasive strategies drawn from traditions that do not conform to the standards of scientific epistemology.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="b16fc0880f7c6ec19ff1819de0c88ee7" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":89781967,"asset_id":84920941,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/89781967/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="84920941"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="84920941"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 84920941;

Through a close analysis of Paul’s writing and a critical description of the concept of parrhesia (or frank, unadorned, critical speech), this study demonstrates that Paul’s ambivalence toward rhetoric stems primarily from the tensions between orality and literacy in late antiquity. Given that Paul’s mission of spreading the Gospel was an inherently rhetorical mission, the epistles represent a documentation of the difficulties faced by a practitioner of rhetoric at a key moment in the development of common literacy. Further, while Paul is often viewed as an important figure in rhetorical history, this essay shows that Paul predated both Origen and Augustine in attempting a reconciliation of Christianity and pagan rhetoric. This affirms Paul’s oft-overlooked status as an important theorist of rhetoric.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="758b2ccddb9401752f07e4567b9e6362" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":89781703,"asset_id":84920605,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/89781703/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="84920605"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="84920605"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 84920605;

In contrast, this study assumes the validity of polling and instead investigates polling data as a form of rhetorical argument. While ancient and modern traditions conceive of doxa as unstated collective opinion, modern opinion polling represents a transformation of the concept of doxa in deliberative democracies. By analyzing specific polls, polling data is shown to advance implicit claims about public policy and good governance. Thus, polling data do not embody an objective empirical artifact, but rather a form of deliberative argumentation that is at odds with democratic life. The study concludes by advocating a revitalization of the public culture of contestation and by discussing more indirect, intuitive means of assessing larger opinion trends.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="1f5231e680e87572e369a2e7d3d3a287" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":53629215,"asset_id":33610850,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/53629215/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="33610850"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="33610850"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 33610850;

Using Max Weber's theory of charisma to analyze the major works of the famous community organizer Saul Alinsky, this study seeks to 1) revitalize charisma as a practicable rhetorical strategy, 2) define community organization as one variety of charismatic praxis, and 3) establish Alinsky as an overlooked figure in recent rhetorical history. In recent years, the concept of charisma has been largely ignored by people working in fields related to rhetoric. Although communication scholars showed a flurry of interest in charisma between 1960 and 1980, most contemporary work on this topic is done in the field of organizational psychology. 1 One possible reason for the dearth of new rhetorical scholarship on charisma is that researchers sometimes assume it is an inherent characteristic of some speakers—either you have it or you don't. Indeed, the Greek word for charisma (χάρισµα) roughly translates to " gift of grace, " suggesting that it is something that is inherited rather than learned. 2 Charisma is theorized as a mystical trait, one that is ineffable and irreducible, and therefore inimitable. The enigmatic account of charisma has discouraged communication scholars from undertaking any technical description of this phenomenon. However, a rhetorical theory of charisma that explains not only what it is but how it is done is essential for the effective critique of current speech, politics, and media.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="a0e0ef581809b0d7bf0d5e0935904682" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":50990106,"asset_id":30545768,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50990106/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="30545768"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="30545768"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 30545768;

Duncan emphasizes that this project requires a pedagogy that uses texts from historically marginalized authors, guides discussion away from the particular values and discourses that characterize whiteness, and interrogates white ways of being. Although her aim is to decenter whiteness, her language occasionally shows that this pedagogical approach ensures that whiteness remains the focus of her course: she is particularly frustrated by how white students "divert attention from their own whiteness" (44), and she is "amazed" (43, 44) that these students "choose instead to focus on some other category of identity and social stratification, preferably one that marks them as clearly and unarguably oppressed" (44). If Duncan was successful in decentering whiteness in her classroom, then white students would not need to "divert attention" from their whiteness or "focus on some other category." Whiteness remains at the center of her classroom because the otherness that the course is meant to affirm is never conceptualized outside the context of white oppression. Thus, given that the toxicity of white ideology is the true focus of the course, Duncan should not be amazed when white students are apprehensive in class.

He advocates a Marxist reorganization of society as a means of reactivating the body's receptivity to pleasure by claiming that a "revolution in thought" might enable an existence defined by the omnipresence of aesthetic experience. Willa Cather's The Professor's House poses a significant challenge to such an idea. Through the novel's embedded narrative, "Tom Outland's Story," Cather complicates the idealization of aesthetic life by demonstrating that the experience of loss is the structural heart of aesthetic response.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="b416cd0a60c529e1c2140cbafaae6f1f" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":50990079,"asset_id":19485467,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50990079/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="19485467"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="19485467"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 19485467;

The appeal to moderation has since become a fixture in these justifications of American wars. It is in this apologetic genre that we place President Barack Obama’s address to graduates of the United States Military Academy at West Point on December 1st, 2009, in which he announced his decision to increase troop levels in Afghanistan by 30,000. This particular address features what we call a rhetoric of moderation that persuades by directly linking moderation with reason and virtue in such a way that it stands in for a missing key premise of the speech’s thesis – in this case, why 30,000 troops were added (rather than some other figure). This rhetoric of moderation is a distinctive and recurrent persuasive tactic in contemporary U.S. political discourse, not just in Obama’s speech.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="bdc8c80ead9a545081b43b61fb03919f" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":35125693,"asset_id":8773642,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/35125693/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="8773642"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="8773642"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 8773642;

Although we could certainly find earlier examples, collective apologies did not start exhibiting formal characteristics of a sub-genre until around 1990 when a number of nation-states began to offer public, formal statements of apology for historical injustices. While rhetorical scholars have generated a significant body of work on such apologies, I still don't think that we have fully grasped how odd and problematic these collective apologies are – both for the recipients of the apologies and for rhetoricians. In fact, in surveying the research, you see that the emergence of this phenomenon has been enthusiastically welcomed by academics, who often celebrate this apologetic speech for its unique capacities to end violence and achieve reconciliation. Nevertheless, there is very scant evidence that collective apologies actually accomplish those goals. I suspect that this is because the rhetoric of apology isn't very well-suited to the goal of collective reconciliation.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="ecd1c4f067fce1e2c636087ccc3b240e" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":52384562,"asset_id":32143859,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/52384562/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="32143859"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="32143859"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 32143859;

This essay explores how these circumstances have undermined human agency in the political arena. Through a close analysis of the work of major critics of technology such as Langdon Winner, Jacques Ellul, Theodore Kaczynski, Lewis Mumford, and others, I demonstrate how technological change has reached a point where every major contingent of the liberal democratic political order has been neutralized in its ability to direct the course of future advances. After describing how the masses, the elites, and the experts have each been rendered powerless, I explore the implications of this situation for the practice of politics in human society.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="13f7ac6a87651b8754ef641923fa0465" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":110560042,"asset_id":113655606,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/110560042/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="113655606"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="113655606"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 113655606;

Further, recent work on personal transformation suggests that new identities are legitimized through personal, confessional testimony about the self. In contrast, this essay focuses on “voluntary disappearances” as one example of a type of personal transformation that operates through dissociative practices. Voluntary disappearance is the term given to situations where a person wishes to completely cut ties with all aspects of the present life and achieves this by moving to a new place and assuming a new identity. Through a rhetorical analysis of various books on the topic of how to enact such a disappearance, this study demonstrates two central insights: a) that some modes of ethos formation are achieved by dissociation rather than association, and b) that dissociative personal transformations are achieved through disidentification, non-recognition, concealment and deception.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="17b865751e17076bfddf8e7d57e622fb" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":89782090,"asset_id":84921163,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/89782090/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="84921163"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="84921163"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 84921163;

In observing examples of secular apocalypses, researchers typically locate them in contexts that are nevertheless concerned with spiritual and mystical matters. In contrast, this essay demonstrates that secular apocalyptic rhetoric is also utilized in the official discourse of scientific experts and government representatives. Through a close analysis of official documents on the topics of anthropogenic climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic (two urgent issues of public policy that are framed as agents of global cataclysm), I demonstrate the ways that experts appropriate religious forms of rhetoric to persuade audiences to accept the measures proposed by authorities. In the process, the essay identifies the rhetorical features of the secular apocalyptic subgenre in contradistinction to its religious predecessor. Ultimately, this study exposes the ways that secular officials – whose power is justified on the grounds of a purportedly objective, rational, empiricism that is opposed to mysticism – make use of persuasive strategies drawn from traditions that do not conform to the standards of scientific epistemology.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="b16fc0880f7c6ec19ff1819de0c88ee7" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":89781967,"asset_id":84920941,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/89781967/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="84920941"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="84920941"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 84920941;

Through a close analysis of Paul’s writing and a critical description of the concept of parrhesia (or frank, unadorned, critical speech), this study demonstrates that Paul’s ambivalence toward rhetoric stems primarily from the tensions between orality and literacy in late antiquity. Given that Paul’s mission of spreading the Gospel was an inherently rhetorical mission, the epistles represent a documentation of the difficulties faced by a practitioner of rhetoric at a key moment in the development of common literacy. Further, while Paul is often viewed as an important figure in rhetorical history, this essay shows that Paul predated both Origen and Augustine in attempting a reconciliation of Christianity and pagan rhetoric. This affirms Paul’s oft-overlooked status as an important theorist of rhetoric.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="758b2ccddb9401752f07e4567b9e6362" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":89781703,"asset_id":84920605,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/89781703/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="84920605"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="84920605"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 84920605;

In contrast, this study assumes the validity of polling and instead investigates polling data as a form of rhetorical argument. While ancient and modern traditions conceive of doxa as unstated collective opinion, modern opinion polling represents a transformation of the concept of doxa in deliberative democracies. By analyzing specific polls, polling data is shown to advance implicit claims about public policy and good governance. Thus, polling data do not embody an objective empirical artifact, but rather a form of deliberative argumentation that is at odds with democratic life. The study concludes by advocating a revitalization of the public culture of contestation and by discussing more indirect, intuitive means of assessing larger opinion trends.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="1f5231e680e87572e369a2e7d3d3a287" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":53629215,"asset_id":33610850,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/53629215/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="33610850"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="33610850"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 33610850;

Using Max Weber's theory of charisma to analyze the major works of the famous community organizer Saul Alinsky, this study seeks to 1) revitalize charisma as a practicable rhetorical strategy, 2) define community organization as one variety of charismatic praxis, and 3) establish Alinsky as an overlooked figure in recent rhetorical history. In recent years, the concept of charisma has been largely ignored by people working in fields related to rhetoric. Although communication scholars showed a flurry of interest in charisma between 1960 and 1980, most contemporary work on this topic is done in the field of organizational psychology. 1 One possible reason for the dearth of new rhetorical scholarship on charisma is that researchers sometimes assume it is an inherent characteristic of some speakers—either you have it or you don't. Indeed, the Greek word for charisma (χάρισµα) roughly translates to " gift of grace, " suggesting that it is something that is inherited rather than learned. 2 Charisma is theorized as a mystical trait, one that is ineffable and irreducible, and therefore inimitable. The enigmatic account of charisma has discouraged communication scholars from undertaking any technical description of this phenomenon. However, a rhetorical theory of charisma that explains not only what it is but how it is done is essential for the effective critique of current speech, politics, and media.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="a0e0ef581809b0d7bf0d5e0935904682" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":50990106,"asset_id":30545768,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50990106/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="30545768"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="30545768"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 30545768;

Duncan emphasizes that this project requires a pedagogy that uses texts from historically marginalized authors, guides discussion away from the particular values and discourses that characterize whiteness, and interrogates white ways of being. Although her aim is to decenter whiteness, her language occasionally shows that this pedagogical approach ensures that whiteness remains the focus of her course: she is particularly frustrated by how white students "divert attention from their own whiteness" (44), and she is "amazed" (43, 44) that these students "choose instead to focus on some other category of identity and social stratification, preferably one that marks them as clearly and unarguably oppressed" (44). If Duncan was successful in decentering whiteness in her classroom, then white students would not need to "divert attention" from their whiteness or "focus on some other category." Whiteness remains at the center of her classroom because the otherness that the course is meant to affirm is never conceptualized outside the context of white oppression. Thus, given that the toxicity of white ideology is the true focus of the course, Duncan should not be amazed when white students are apprehensive in class.

He advocates a Marxist reorganization of society as a means of reactivating the body's receptivity to pleasure by claiming that a "revolution in thought" might enable an existence defined by the omnipresence of aesthetic experience. Willa Cather's The Professor's House poses a significant challenge to such an idea. Through the novel's embedded narrative, "Tom Outland's Story," Cather complicates the idealization of aesthetic life by demonstrating that the experience of loss is the structural heart of aesthetic response.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="b416cd0a60c529e1c2140cbafaae6f1f" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":50990079,"asset_id":19485467,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50990079/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="19485467"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="19485467"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 19485467;

The appeal to moderation has since become a fixture in these justifications of American wars. It is in this apologetic genre that we place President Barack Obama’s address to graduates of the United States Military Academy at West Point on December 1st, 2009, in which he announced his decision to increase troop levels in Afghanistan by 30,000. This particular address features what we call a rhetoric of moderation that persuades by directly linking moderation with reason and virtue in such a way that it stands in for a missing key premise of the speech’s thesis – in this case, why 30,000 troops were added (rather than some other figure). This rhetoric of moderation is a distinctive and recurrent persuasive tactic in contemporary U.S. political discourse, not just in Obama’s speech.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="bdc8c80ead9a545081b43b61fb03919f" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":35125693,"asset_id":8773642,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/35125693/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="8773642"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="8773642"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 8773642;

Although we could certainly find earlier examples, collective apologies did not start exhibiting formal characteristics of a sub-genre until around 1990 when a number of nation-states began to offer public, formal statements of apology for historical injustices. While rhetorical scholars have generated a significant body of work on such apologies, I still don't think that we have fully grasped how odd and problematic these collective apologies are – both for the recipients of the apologies and for rhetoricians. In fact, in surveying the research, you see that the emergence of this phenomenon has been enthusiastically welcomed by academics, who often celebrate this apologetic speech for its unique capacities to end violence and achieve reconciliation. Nevertheless, there is very scant evidence that collective apologies actually accomplish those goals. I suspect that this is because the rhetoric of apology isn't very well-suited to the goal of collective reconciliation.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="ecd1c4f067fce1e2c636087ccc3b240e" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":52384562,"asset_id":32143859,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/52384562/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="32143859"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="32143859"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 32143859;

I have two goals: first, to demonstrate that the health care deliberations were indeed a failure, and second, to show how a critique of deliberation, doxa, and the demos is often utilized to justify the end of political dialogue.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="4f4bd3036d6726322184eaa5e66169b8" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":111866398,"asset_id":115467851,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/111866398/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="115467851"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="115467851"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 115467851;

These transformations are of great interest to the public, as evidenced by the frequent coverage of trans issues and personal transitions of all kinds on television and in popular magazines. Caitlyn Jenner changes from a man into a woman. Rachel Dolezal changes from a white woman to a black one. It is not new that people attempt these renovations of identity – but what is new is the mainstream insistence upon the totality and truth of these transformations. And while race and gender are certainly different matters, the techniques used to signify them in rhetorical contexts are remarkable similar. The growing discourse on these topics indicates that we have perhaps arrived at a " trans-moment " – a cultural impasse with possibilities for new kinds of transformations to occur. This moment calls for a theoretical reconsideration of ethos, how it functions differently now than it has in the past, and how it is successfully communicated in new mediated contexts. Although people who testify to these transformations often posit their new ethos as self-evident, major renovations of personal identity require sophisticated rhetorical performances in order to win the recognition of others.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="e6d3e97c6a9aaefa0c7cd9b158f093bd" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":56719961,"asset_id":36772340,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/56719961/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="36772340"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="36772340"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 36772340;
