New Approaches to Rhetoric
<div> <p><b><span>New Approaches to Rhetoric</span></b><span> <span>provides fresh perspectives on the study of rhetoric and its ability to affect change in today's society.<span>Â </span>Although traditional approaches (e.g., neo-Aristotelian) to the study of rhetoric have utility for the twenty-first century, communication in a complex, mass-mediated postmodern age calls for new critical approaches. The contributors of this volume<span>, including<b> </b></span>James <span>Darsey</span>, Kathryn M. Olson and G. Thomas Goodnight, George Cheney, Dana Cloud, and Barry <span>Brummett</span>, explore possibilities for bridging rhetorical studies of the past with rhetorical studies of the future. The original essays invite <span>students to join rhetorical theorists and critics in an ongoing dialogue concerning what it means to study communication in a postmodern world.</span></p> <p><span><span></span><b></b></span></p> <p><b><span>New Approaches to Rhetoric</span></b><span> is ideal for <span>upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in Rhetoric and in Political Communication in departments of </span>Communication, English, and Political Science. This book is suitable for use as either a primary or supplemental course text and will be invaluable as a general reference for s<span>cholars of rhetoric, social movements, and public sphere studies.</span></p> <p><b><span>Â </span></b></p> <p>Â </p></div></span></span></span>
